Description

Description:

I create a widget and implement a widget provider through https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/develop/widgets/implement-widget-provider-cs .
When I expand the widgets board, my widget is partially exposed and partially not exposed. The widget cannot refresh the page. Even if I slide to make the widget fully exposed, the page still cannot refresh.
I found that this happens because deactivate method is called immediately after activate method, and then activate method will not be called again even if you slide it to fully expose. Is it improper to expose the widget but not trigger the activate method?
widget
Taking the demo “Sample Counting Widget(C#)” in the github as an example, the widget host receives my click event but does not refresh the page(Numbers have not changed).

Research direction

Start with the linked Windows widget provider implementation guide and the Sample Counting Widget (C#) demo. Reproduce the partially exposed widget sequence and inspect the activate/deactivate and click-refresh behavior; done means the widget page refreshes after it becomes fully exposed and after the click event.
