Description

With this function you can get the current value (as a string) from a given property that you have added to your XAML fly-out. The entryName is the name of the option in the Settings Charm, as specified by the first argument of the function win8_settingscharm_add_xaml_entry, while the elementName is the name of the element to get the value from as defined in the XAML file. The propertyName must be a string and is defined in the reference for that control following the Microsoft guidelines found here.


Example:

var text = win8_settingscharm_get_xaml_property("Settings", "IntroText", "Text" );
win8_settingscharm_set_xaml_property("Settings", "IntroText", "Text", "MacSweeney Games Is Best");

The above code will get the "Text" value of the XAML property "IntroText" and then change it to something else.
