Our first step is to add the below two using statements which will initialize the necessary properties that are required to access the charm bar programmatically as shown in the code below.
Code:
using Windows.UI.Popups;
using Windows.UI.ApplicationSettings;
Next step is to register the CommandRequest handler while the application is getting initialized which means we are going to tell the application to use the appropriate function when the Privacy is requested. Add the below code right next to the application initializer which basically will be called while the application is launched which we will do in the next step.
Code:
private void SettingCharmManager_CommandsRequested(SettingsPane sender, SettingsPaneCommandsRequestedEventArgs args)
{
args.Request.ApplicationCommands.Add(new SettingsCommand("privacypolicy", "Privacy policy", OpenPrivacyPolicy));
}
private async void OpenPrivacyPolicy(IUICommand command)
{
Uri uri = new Uri("http://cheahengsoon.weebly.com");
await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);
}
Here we have specified our privacy statements and hosted the page in a hosting environment () so we have just provided the URL which has the Privacy statement mentioned. Now we are done with the general assigning of the charm bar privacy statement, next is we need to tell the application to initialize it as soon as the application is launched so that when the user uses the charm bar the application shows the Privacy statement to do that add the below code in the OnLaunched event in the App.xaml page as shown in the code below.
Code:
SettingsPane.GetForCurrentView().CommandsRequested += SettingCharmManager_CommandsRequested;
So your final App.xaml code will look like below which has the steps on using the Privacy statement, or we should rather say using the Charm Bar effectively to provide the required options that the application basically needed to display to the end users as shown in the code below.
