磚是 Windows 8 啟動畫面的核心元素,透過豐富的模板、通知佇列、次要磚與排程更新機制,應用程式能在使用者未開啟應用時也能傳遞即時資訊。本文將系統性介紹 Tile 的 46 種模板、通知佇列運作、Secondary Tile 建立與更新、以及排程與輪詢更新的實作方式。
系統提供 46 種預定義模板,涵蓋方塊與寬幅尺寸、純文字、圖文混合等樣式。以下範例透過掃描專案內的示範圖片,以 GridView 呈現所有模板外觀。

啟用 EnableNotificationQueue(true) 後,磚可循環顯示最多 5 個不同的 TileNotification,依先進先出原則維護。每則通知需指定唯一的 Tag 作為識別碼。

透過 SecondaryTile 類別,可將特定內容釘選到啟動畫面,每個次要磚擁有獨立的 TileId、引數、標題、Logo 等屬性。使用者點擊次要磚啟動應用時,可在 App.xaml.cs 的 OnLaunched 中透過 args.TileId 與 args.Arguments 判斷進入點。
RequestCreateForSelectionAsync 彈出確認對話框。SecondaryTile(tileId) 實例修改屬性後呼叫 UpdateAsync。TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication(tileId) 取得對應的 TileUpdater。RequestDeleteForSelectionAsync。SecondaryTile.FindAllAsync() 取得所有次要磚清單。<Page x:Class="XamlDemo.Notification.Tile.MultipleTiles" xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="using:XamlDemo.Notification.Tile" xmlns:d="https://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="https://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d"> <Grid Background="Transparent"> <StackPanel Margin="120 0 0 0"> <TextBlock Name="lblMsg" FontSize="14.667" /> <Button Name="btnPinSecondaryTile" Content="釘選一個新的 SecondaryTile" Click="btnPinSecondaryTile_Click_1" Margin="0 10 0 0" /> <Button Name="btnUpdateAllSecondaryTiles" Content="更新全部 SecondaryTile(不包含主 Tile)" Click="btnUpdateAllSecondaryTiles_Click_1" Margin="0 10 0 0" /> <Button Name="btnUpdateAllSecondaryTilesNotification" Content="更新全部 SecondaryTile 的 Tile 通知(不包含主 Tile)" Click="btnUpdateAllSecondaryTilesNotification_Click_1" Margin="0 10 0 0" /> <Button Name="btnClearAllSecondaryTiles" Content="清除全部 SecondaryTile(不包含主 Tile)" Click="btnClearAllSecondaryTiles_Click_1" Margin="0 10 0 0" /> </StackPanel> </Grid> </Page>

ScheduledTileNotification 允許指定未來特定時間顯示磚通知,支援 Id、Tag、ExpirationTime 等屬性。輪詢更新 則透過 StartPeriodicUpdate 定期從伺服器抓取 XML 內容更新磚,支援多個 URI 循環顯示,週期可設為 30 分鐘、1 小時、6 小時、12 小時或每日。
