如何在C＃中访问OneDrive的通知状态

Question

How to access OneDrive's notification status in C#

On my Win 7 PC, OneDrive has an icon in the Notification / Tool Bar Area .

Hovering over the OneDrive notification icon, I get the following status messages:-

• OneDrive is “up to date”
• OneDrive is “Looking for changes”
• OneDrive is “Uploading 27mb of 346mb, 27 files remaining”

Is it possible to query this status from C#?

I am specifically interested to know when the OneDrive is “up to date” or not.

I would like to write a ShutDown routine for my PC that will check the status of the OneDrive. If the OneDrive is not “up to date” I can then code a "wait" to provide enough time for any new or changed files to get uploaded to the remote cloud server.

Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

Don't know if this will work for you or not, but take a look at this CodeProject source (it's C++) that enumerates the notification icons and their tooltips. You'll have to figure out how to map that to C#, but if you get the API calls you need to make from the C++ code, you shouldn't have too much trouble mapping them to P/Invoke calls.
