CustomSystemEventTrigger Class

Definition

This class allows you to specify a custom system trigger so that you can register it and respond when it is triggered by the system.

Remarks

Use this class to define a trigger when the OS doesn't provide a system trigger that you need. Such as when a hardware driver and the UWP app both belong to 3rd party, and the hardware driver needs to raise a custom event that its app handles. For example, an audio card that needs to notify a user when an audio jack is plugged in.
