How can non-metro app specify Application Capabilities Declaration?

Question

In metro stye app, there is a Package.AppxManifest file, where you can specify the Capabilities the app requires. But How can i enable a non-metro app to access the capabilites? For example, you must specify a Proximity capability when you use PeerFinder class. Now I can call PeerFinder in non-metro application,  but it throw "access denied "exception as I can't find where to specity the Proximity capability.

Anyone can help?

Thanks in advance.

Paddy2Green,

You can't set capabilities. There is no need to as desktop apps have full access anyway.  PeerFinder is not available to desktop apps:

Thanks, Eric.

But It is so pity that Apps other than Metro style can not access to the PeerFinder class.
