In windows 8.1 apps, while invoking the share UI using
Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.DataTransferManager.ShowShareUI();
we get an option to share the screenshot of the current app by default. Is there a way to remove this feature?
The data I am passing from the app to be shared is a URL.
private void DataTransferManager_DataRequested(DataTransferManager sender, DataRequestedEventArgs args)
{
args.Request.Data.SetWebLink(new Uri(myUrl));
}
When the share pane appears, user is presented with an option to share the screen shot also. The scenario is explained in this link
I tried setting ApplicationView.IsScreenCaptureEnabled to false. It still listed "share screenshot". But when tried to share, shared an empty black screen. Can I do something to remove that option from share pane?
No, all the apps that I know of, have this option listed, so I would say this is a system built-in option, that you cannot remove in your app code.
