IApplicationDesignModeSettings::TriggerEdgeGesture method (shobjidl_core.h)

  • Article

Sends a spoofed edge gesture event to the proxy core window on the caller's thread. This gesture toggles the app's app bar, if the app supports one. The caller can specify the type of input that triggered the edge gesture.

You must call IInitializeWithWindow::Initialize to set a proxy core window before calling this method. For a code example, see Display WinRT UI objects that depend on CoreWindow.

Syntax

HRESULT TriggerEdgeGesture(
  [in] EDGE_GESTURE_KIND edgeGestureKind

Parameters

The edge gesture event was generated by a swipe on a touch-enabled screen.

EGK_KEYBOARD (1)
