Example

This example code shows how to create a basic Windows SideShow gadget using the SideShowGadget class that sends content to connected devices using static methods from the Scf class. The same result can be obtained using SCF XML in an external .xml file.

private static void SampleScf()
{
    // Set the gadget's GUID.
    Guid gadgetId = new Guid("{0530B726-F6D5-4a66-900E-3C7673316F3B}");

    // Add the gadget's registry subkey and values.
    GadgetRegistration.Register(
        false,                           // Register gadget for current user only
        gadgetId,                        // Guid for the registry subkey
        ScfSideShowGadget.ScfEndpointId, // Endpoints registry value
        "Example SideShow gadget",       // FriendlyName registry value
        null,                            // StartCommand registry value
        null,                            // Icon registry value, this gadget will use the generic gadget icon.
        false,                           // OnlineOnly registry value
        GadgetCachePolicies.KeepNewest,  // CachePolicy registry value
        null);

    // Construct a Simple Content Format SideShow gadget for the gadget's Guid.
    using (ScfSideShowGadget gadget = new ScfSideShowGadget(gadgetId))
    {
        // Create Simple Content Format Strings and send them to connected SideShow devices.
        
        // Add Glance content showing date/time of last update
        gadget.AddGlanceContent(
           String.Format("Content updated on {0}{1:D}.", Environment.NewLine, DateTime.Now));

        // Set ids.
        int dialogPageId = 2;
        int mainMenuId = ScfSideShowGadget.HomePageContentId;
        int textPageId = 4;
        int imagePageId = 5;
        int contextMenuId = 6;
        int backgroundImageId = 7;

        // Create the main menu page.
        string content = Scf.Body(
            Scf.Menu(mainMenuId, "Simple Gadget Menu", ScfSelectAction.Target,
                Scf.Item(dialogPageId, "See the dialog page"),
                Scf.Div(),
                Scf.Item(textPageId, "See the text Page")));
        // Send the menu page to connected SideShow devices.
        gadget.AddContent(content);
        
        // Create the dialog page.
        content = Scf.Body(
            Scf.Dialog(dialogPageId, "Dialog Page Title",
                Scf.Txt(ScfAlign.Center, true, Color.Violet, "A very long line of wrapping centered violet text."),
                // Set the device buttons.
                Scf.Btn(DeviceButton.Up, "Back to Menu", mainMenuId),
                Scf.Btn(DeviceButton.Right, "Text page", textPageId),

                Scf.Div(),
                Scf.Txt(ScfAlign.Left, false, Color.Red, "A long line of non-wrapping left aligned red text.")));
        // Send the dialog page to connected SideShow devices.
        gadget.AddContent(content);

        // Create the text page.
        content = Scf.Body(
            Scf.Content(textPageId, "This is the Text Page",
            Scf.Div(),
            Scf.Txt(ScfAlign.Left, true, Color.Blue, "This is some blue text")));
        // Send the text page to connected SideShow devices.
        gadget.AddContent(content);

        // Create the image page.
        content = Scf.Body(

        // Send the image page to connected SideShow devices.
        gadget.AddContent(content);

        // Add the image ExcelSaga.jpg to the image page.
        Stream imageStream = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("CodeSampleSideShow.ExcelSaga.jpg");
        gadget.AddContent(backgroundImageId, ImageContentTransforms.KeepAspectRatio,
           Image.FromStream(imageStream));
    }
