WP7: Edit Screenshot While App is Backgrounding (Mango)


I have an app that I have been developing that can display sensitive user data.

When the user backgrounds the app, the OS appears to take a screenshot of the app as it was running, and displays it so when the user returns, their state is restored.

I am trying to prevent the user's information from being seen in this screenshot.

My initial idea was to display a Popup of my splash screen image, but it does not seem to render it in ApplicationDeactivated. Is there any other way you might accomplish this?


Solution

  • Received a response from Microsoft which indicates that this is not possible in the Mango SDK; it may be added into future releases of the platform.
