Examples

This example demonstrates how to call the ShowShareUI method to launch the Share user interface. Notice that this example only launches the interface— it does not add any content to share with another app.

function launchShare() {
    var shareButton = document.createElement("button");
    shareButton.setAttribute("id", "showShareButton");
    shareButton.innerText = "Click to share!";
    shareButton.addEventListener("click", function () {
        Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.DataTransferManager.showShareUI();
    });
    document.body.appendChild(shareButton);
}

Remarks

A DataPackage must have its Title set in order to be shared. Ensure Title is set before calling this method.

Remarks

We recommend that you provide the user a Share affordance only when there is something shareable in your app. The prominence of the affordance can vary based on the nature of the content. For example, if the user gets a high score in a game, you may wish to put a Share button next to the congratulatory message. A news app, on the other hand, may put a Share button in an AppBar.

A DataPackage must have its Title set in order to be shared. Ensure Title is set before calling this method.
