    C# opens a image in Windows 10 but NOT able to navigate to next image


    Hi All,
    Could you please help

    My Environment: Windows 10 Operating system in Desktop machine

    My purpose: I have a "Sample_Pictures" folder in "My Documents" folder, this "Sample_Pictures" folder contains 5 pictures. I need to open an image (using C# console application) and then navigate to Next and Previous image in "Sample_Pictures" folder

    Issue I am facing: I am able to open an image, but NOT able to navigate to Next and Previous pictures in folder. Both Next and Previous buttons are disabled. I mean the Next and Previous buttons present in image is NOT working in Windows 10 Photos. However If I open the same image separately in Windows Explorer, I am able to navigate to Next and Previous image.

    Sample Program:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
    OpenSamplePhoto();
    }

    private static void OpenSamplePhoto()
    {
    string samplePicturesPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments), "Sample_Pictures");

    string picturePath = Path.Combine(samplePicturesPath,"sample1.JPG");

    ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();

    info.FileName = picturePath;
    info.UseShellExecute = true;
    info.CreateNoWindow = true;
    info.Verb = string.Empty; Process.Start(info);
    }

    Post your project folder (zipped) - the code you posted has no reference to "buttons"

    It won't as you are not opening the app from the shell which sets the picture folder as container- you are using the (default) app to open a single image.

    I'll look into it... with Win32 apps one would PInvoke the API and pass the file path to it to launch the app with the image as t would with explorer - but this UWP stuff is still new to me, so I'm not so sure...

    ms-photos


    I found below code to open Photo App, however I am not able to open a specific image.
    I am working on to find a complete solution.

    private static void OpenSamplePhoto()
    {
    string samplePicturesPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments), "Sample_Pictures");

    string picturePath = Path.Combine(samplePicturesPath, "sample1.JPG");


    ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
    info.FileName = @"ms-photos://";
    info.Arguments = picturePath;
    info.UseShellExecute = true;
    info.CreateNoWindow = true;
    info.Verb = string.Empty;


    Process.Start(info);
    }

    Reference:Open the photo with microsoft photos (Windows 10) in C #
