Creating multiple secondary tiles at once

Question

The user can select more than one item and then choose "Pin" from the appbar.

However when I call requestCreateAsync for the second item an exception is thrown that another flyout is already present.

How would I chain the creation of multiple tiles?

I tried collecting the tile.requestCreateAsync() promises but this does not work, cause the flyout it already created when the method is called not when the promise is executed.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Are you saying this pattern does not work for you?

oSecondaryTile.requestCreateAsync().then( function (isPinned) { anotherSecondaryTile.requestCreateAsync().then( function (isPinned) { } );} );

This should work, Jeff. I just could not get my mind wrapped around those promises. :) Thanks for your help.

We have already defined a different, even better UX for that pinning use-case though.
