SettingsPane::GetForCurrentView() causing COMException

Question

I get this additional information from the exceptions:

HRESULT:0x80070490 Element not found.
WinRT information: Call to IFrameworkView::Initialize failed

This is in a Metro Direct3D project, inside:

void MyApp::Initialize(CoreApplicationView^ applicationView)

Since it's D3D, I'm not using XAML. Is that required to add settings charms?

Hello,

Would you please provide us more codes to reproduce this issue?

Or you can upload your project to

It is not necessary that you send out the whole of your project. We just need a simplest sample to reproduce the problem. You can remove any confidential information or business details from it.

Best regards,

I was using it in :

void MyApp::Initialize(CoreApplicationView^ applicationView)

which, I'm guessing, is too early. I moved it to:

void MyApp::SetWindow(CoreWindow^ window)

and now it's fine.

I had this occur also when I put the SettingsPane.GetForCurrentView() too early in my App.xaml.cs (C# app). I moved it inside the OnLaunched handler and it worked.

Just noting this in case anyone got the same error in a C#/XAML app.
