Attribute | Description | Data type | Required | Default value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Category | The type of package extensibility point. | A string that can have one of the following values: windows.printSupportSettingsUI, windows.printSupportExtension, windows.printSupportWorkFlow, or windows.printSupportJobUI. | Yes | |
EntryPoint | The activatable class ID. | A string with a value between 1 and 256 characters in length. Represents the task handling the extension (normally the fully namespace-qualified name of a Windows Runtime type). If EntryPoint is not specified, the EntryPoint defined for the app is used instead. | No | |
Executable | The default launch executable. | A string with a value between 1 and 256 characters in length, that must end with .exe , and cannot contain these characters: < , > , : , " , | , ? , or * .

If that EntryPoint property isn't specified, the EntryPoint defined for the app is used. |
No | |
RuntimeType | The runtime provider. Typically used when there are mixted frameworks in an app. | A string with a value between 1 and 255 characters in length that cannot start or end with a . or contain there characters: < , > , : , " , | , ? , or * . |
