appmodel.h header
This header is used by Packaging, deployment, and query of Windows Store apps. For more information, see:
appmodel.h contains the following programming interfaces:
Functions
| AddPackageDependency Resolves a previously defined PackageDependency to a specific package and adds it to the invoking process' package graph. After the dependency has been added, other code-loading methods (such as LoadLibrary and CoCreateInstance) can find the binaries in the resolved package. |
| AppPolicyGetClrCompat Retrieves a value indicating the application type of a process so that you can determine whether to enable private reflection and/or make managed objects agile. |
| AppPolicyGetCreateFileAccess Retrieves a value indicating whether a process has full or restricted access to the IO devices (file, file stream, directory, physical disk, volume, console buffer, tape drive, communications resource, mailslot, and pipe). |
| AppPolicyGetLifecycleManagement Retrieves a value indicating whether a process can be suspended/resumed by the Process Lifecycle Manager (PLM). |
| AppPolicyGetMediaFoundationCodecLoading Retrieves a value indicating whether a process’s policy allows it to load non-Windows (third-party) plugins. You can use the value to decide whether or not to allow non-Windows (third-party) plugins. |
| AppPolicyGetProcessTerminationMethod Retrieves the method used to end a process. |
| AppPolicyGetShowDeveloperDiagnostic Retrieves the method used for a process to surface developer information, such as asserts, to the user. |
| AppPolicyGetThreadInitializationType Retrieves the kind of initialization that should be automatically performed for a process when beginthread[ex] creates a thread. |
| AppPolicyGetWindowingModel Retrieves a value indicating whether a process uses a CoreWindow-based, or a HWND-based, windowing model. You can use the value to decide how to register for window state change notifications (size changed, visibility changed, etc.). |
| ClosePackageInfo Closes a reference to the specified package information. |
| DeletePackageDependency Deletes the install-time reference for the framework package dependency you created earlier by using the TryCreatePackageDependency method. This method informs the OS that it is safe to remove the framework package if no other apps have a dependency on it. |
| FindPackagesByPackageFamily Finds the packages with the specified family name for the current user. |
| FormatApplicationUserModelId Constructs an application user model ID from the package family name and the package relative application ID (PRAID). |
| GetApplicationUserModelId Gets the application user model ID for the specified process. |
| GetApplicationUserModelIdFromToken Gets the application user model ID for the specified token. |
| GetCurrentApplicationUserModelId Gets the application user model ID for the current process. |
| GetCurrentPackageFamilyName Gets the package family name for the calling process. |
| GetCurrentPackageFullName Gets the package full name for the calling process. |
| GetCurrentPackageId Gets the package identifier (ID) for the calling process. |
| GetCurrentPackageInfo Gets the package information for the calling process. (GetCurrentPackageInfo) |
| GetCurrentPackageInfo2 Gets the package information for the calling process. (GetCurrentPackageInfo2) |
| GetCurrentPackagePath Gets the package path for the calling process. (GetCurrentPackagePath) |
| GetCurrentPackagePath2 Gets the package path for the calling process. (GetCurrentPackagePath2) |
| GetIdForPackageDependencyContext Returns the package dependency for the specified context handle. |
| GetPackageApplicationIds Gets the IDs of apps in the specified package. |
| GetPackageFamilyName Gets the package family name for the specified process. |
| GetPackageFamilyNameFromToken Gets the package family name for the specified token. |
| GetPackageFullName Gets the package full name for the specified process. |
| GetPackageFullNameFromToken Gets the package full name for the specified token. |
| GetPackageId Gets the package identifier (ID) for the specified process. |
| GetPackageInfo Gets the package information for the specified package. (GetPackageInfo) |
| GetPackageInfo2 Gets the package information for the specified package. (GetPackageInfo2) |
| GetPackagePath Gets the path for the specified package. |
| GetPackagePathByFullName Gets the path of the specified package. (GetPackagePathByFullName) |
| GetPackagePathByFullName2 Gets the path of the specified package. (GetPackagePathByFullName2) |
| GetPackagesByPackageFamily Gets the packages with the specified family name for the current user. |
| GetResolvedPackageFullNameForPackageDependency Returns the package full name that would be used if the package dependency were to be resolved. This function does not add the package to the process graph. |
| GetStagedPackageOrigin Gets the origin of the specified package. |
| GetStagedPackagePathByFullName Gets the path of the specified staged package. (GetStagedPackagePathByFullName) |
| GetStagedPackagePathByFullName2 Gets the path of the specified staged package. (GetStagedPackagePathByFullName2) |
| OpenPackageInfoByFullName Opens the package information of the specified package. |
| PackageFamilyNameFromFullName Gets the package family name for the specified package full name. |
| PackageFamilyNameFromId Gets the package family name for the specified package identifier. |
| PackageFullNameFromId Gets the package full name for the specified package identifier (ID). |
| PackageIdFromFullName Gets the package identifier (ID) for the specified package full name. |
| PackageNameAndPublisherIdFromFamilyName Gets the package name and publisher identifier (ID) for the specified package family name. |
| ParseApplicationUserModelId Deconstructs an application user model ID to its package family name and package relative application ID (PRAID). |
| RemovePackageDependency Removes a resolved package dependency from the current process' package graph (that is, a run-time reference for a framework package dependency that was added by using the AddPackageDependency function). |
| TryCreatePackageDependency Creates an install-time reference for a framework package dependency for the current app, using the specified package family name, minimum version, and additional criteria. |
Structures
| PACKAGE_ID Represents package identification information, such as name, version, and publisher. |
| PACKAGE_INFO Represents package identification information that includes the package identifier, full name, and install location. |
| PACKAGE_VERSION Represents the package version information. |
