Sample name: MSILinkDrillHandler

iPad                                                                                         iPhone

    

Functionality showcased: This sample illustrates how to use custom events and custom link drilling. In this sample, every third time that link drilling takes place, a screenshot is taken and shared with the view controller. Every other time that link drilling takes place, the URL API is processed as usual.
