Shows the share panel for Windows.Requires Windows 8 or newer.
What Windows can share and what application it offers depends on the local software installation on the PC.
e.g. if you have an email application, you may see contact names and the option to send an email.
This function requires a native path. Use Path.FileMakerPathToNativePath to convert a FileMaker path to a native path if required. If you like to have the user choose the path, you can use FileDialog functions.
