ToastNotificationsManager.CreateApplicationShortcut Property

Gets or sets whether the application should add its shortcut to the Windows 8 Start Screen.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.ToastNotifications

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

#Declaration

[Browsable(false)]
[DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)]
[DXCategory("Shortcut")]
public DefaultBoolean CreateApplicationShortcut { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Default Description
DefaultBoolean Default

A DefaultBoolean enumerator value that specifies whether the application should add its shortcut to the Windows 8 Start Screen.

Available values:

Name Description Return Value
True

The value is true.

0

False

The value is false.

1

Default

The value is specified by a global option or a higher-level object.

2

#Remarks

If the CreateApplicationShortcut property equals DefaultBoolean.True, the application will try to add its shortcut with the specific icon (ToastNotificationsManager.ApplicationIconPath) and caption (ToastNotificationsManager.ApplicationName) to the Windows 8 Start Screen. Toast notifications cannot be displayed unless such a shortcut exists.

Note

Since your released product will most likely have an installation that will create an application Start Screen shortcut, the CreateApplicationShortcut property is primarily designed for debugging purposes.

See the Toast Notification Manager topic for details.
