There are two types of Jumptasks supported till now by WindowsAPICodePack the JumplistLink (like Notepad link in the screen shot) and JumplistSeperator (like the separator between Paint and Calculator).
Each application has its own jumplist by default, so even if your application is not doing anything, you will get the default Jumplist which contains these 3 tasks (Application name ( JumplistDemo in our case), Pin this program to taskbar and Close window).Īny Jumplist consists of categories and each category has its own Jumptasks. Simply, Jumplists can be called the context menu of the taskbar items in Windows 7 and they can contain different sets (categories) of items that can perform different tasks (you can check MSN messenger or Internet Explorer jumplists to make things clearer).
Windows 7 introduced a new set of features - one of them (and one of the most prominent features) is the Jumplist, so we are going to explore the Jumplist features and I will show you how to handle custom events that are fired from custom tasks in the Jumplist.
