How to pass value while opening a setting flyout

Question

 

I want to open a setting flyout, and pass some data to the flyout, like "username=test".

Open flyout:

WinJS.UI.SettingsFlyout.showSettings("login", "/pages/login.html");

Who can tell me how to do it?

Answer 1

Not really sure if I am fully understanding what you want to do - but one simple way may be to use local storage. Save the value in yur calling process and retrieve it in the flyout.

Hello,

You can define a variable in your main page and then access it on the settings page. If you have application level data, you can just tack some state onto the app object. What I do is move the var app = WinJS.Application line that is in the default.js by default into global scope so I can access it from anywhere,

I would like to suggest you check the solutionfor the similar issue in the following link
