c# - Getting Dispatcher in Lockscreen (Assigned-access) mode in a timer callback -


i'm having trouble getting dispatcher using getcurrentview() method. stated on msdn should using coreapplication.getcurrentview() if app running in assigned access mode.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/drivers/partnerapps/create-a-kiosk-app-for-assigned-access

however getcurrentview() causes exception when used in timer callback.

anybody have suggestion how can work in assigned access mode? here's code comments does, , doesn't work.

sealed partial class app : application {     private timer timer;      public app()     {         this.initializecomponent();     }      protected override void onlaunched(launchactivatedeventargs e)     {         try         {             isassignedaccess = lockapplicationhost.getforcurrentview() != null;         }         catch         {             isassignedaccess = false;         }          // works fine         ontimerasync();          // timer callback ontimerasync() doesn't work (see below)         this.timer = new timer((e2) => { ontimerasync(); }, null, (int)timespan.fromseconds(5).totalmilliseconds,             (int)timespan.fromseconds(5).totalmilliseconds);      }      private async void ontimerasync()     {         if (app.isassignedaccess)         {             // causes app crash in assigned access mode             await coreapplication.getcurrentview().dispatcher.runasync(coredispatcherpriority.normal, () => { /* void */ });         }         else         {             // works fine in desktop mode, doesn't work in assigned access mode (lockscreen app)             await coreapplication.mainview.corewindow.dispatcher.runasync(coredispatcherpriority.normal, () => { /* void */ });              // line below causes app crash when called timer callback, works fine when called directly onlaunched();             var curview = coreapplication.getcurrentview();             /*                 * exception details when called timer callback                 * exception thrown: 'system.runtime.interopservices.comexception' in lockscreentest.exe                 * winrt information: kan element niet vinden. (translated: cannot find element)                 */              var curdispatch = curview.dispatcher;             await curdispatch.runasync(coredispatcherpriority.normal, () => { /* void */ });         }     }      public static bool isassignedaccess { get; private set; } }

ps. example timer, i'm using nfc/smartcard , other async libraries have similar problems on event triggers.

i solved issue using dispatcherhelper class mvvmlight replace getcurrentview() method.

this class sets static reference dispatcher upon app startup later used wherever need (e.g. -thought- getcurrentview() supposed do)

see (excellent) article more details:

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
