Timeline Framework

Timeline Framework is the Software Developer Kit (SDK) for software developers that provides an easy access to the Windows Timeline features on Windows platforms. The library is a part of Wireless Communication Library but can be used stand alone.

Timeline framework has three editions: .NET (can be used with Microsoft .NET), C++ (can be used with Microsoft Visual Studio or other compatible C++ compiler) and VCL (can be used with Delphi or CBuilder). For more details about supported platforms and IDEs refer to the Frameworks Comparison List.

FEATURES

Applications we develop must help users do great things — enabling a wide range of creative, productivity and entertainment scenarios. Returning to activities can be a challenge. By writing User Activities, application developers have a new tool to get users back into their application.

Starting in Windows 10 16299 or higher, User Activities generated by your application appear in Windows Timeline. By writing User Activities into the Microsoft Graph, you can express specific content within your application as a destination which is showcased in Windows.

Each User Activity represents a single destination within your app: such as a TV show, document or your current campaign in a game. When you engage with that activity (by creating an Activity Session), the system creates a history record indicating the start and end time for that activity. As you re-engage with that User Activity over time, multiple History Records will be recorded for a single User Activity.

Timeline Framework demo version can be downloaded as executable installer (EXE link) or as 7Zip archive (ZIP link). The executable installer is not signed so you may see Windows warning when running the installer. To avoid this you can use 7Zip packed version. Please refer to this article to find how to install 7Zip packed version for your IDE.
