Bring up a WiFi dialog if network not present

Question

Writing a UWP app and if a network (wired then wireless) is not detected, I would like to bring up the settings dialog that chooses a wireless network.

I can't seem to find any details on the possibility of doing this, and if possible, how to make it happen.

Answer 1

I'm unsure if this is completely what you want but it should work fine.

A useful link for opening windows settings in UWP apps is THIS

As it says if the app is a mobile you use: ms-settings-wifi:

Or for a Desktop/Non-Mobile device use ms-settings:network-wifi

Note that ms-settings:network-wifi and ms-settings-wifi: open up the main settings window if there is no Wireless Adapter on the device.

Try launching this application ms-settings:network-wifi in Run (Win+R).

An example of using this in C# would be

// The URI to launch
string uriToLaunch = @"ms-settings:network-wifi";

// Create a Uri object from a URI string 
var uri = new Uri(uriToLaunch);

// Launch the URI
async void DefaultLaunch()
{
   // Launch the URI
   var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);

   if (success)
   {
      // URI launched
   }
   else
   {
      // URI launch failed
   }
}
