Methods
DisableShowingMainViewOnActivation() DisableShowingMainViewOnActivation() DisableShowingMainViewOnActivation() DisableShowingMainViewOnActivation()
Disables the primary window (app view) when the app is activated, showing the most recently displayed window instead.
public : static void DisableShowingMainViewOnActivation()public static void DisableShowingMainViewOnActivation()Public Static Function DisableShowingMainViewOnActivation() As void// You can use this method in JavaScript.
Remarks
By default, the app object displays the main window of the app when it is first activated. This method forces the app to display the most recently displayed window upon subsequent activations. Note that the app must call this method before completing the first non-hosted activation, and the app must also only call CoreWindow.Activate for hosted activations from the UI thread of the displayed window.

DisableSystemViewActivationPolicy() DisableSystemViewActivationPolicy() DisableSystemViewActivationPolicy() DisableSystemViewActivationPolicy()
Disables Windows shell control of the view selection on activation, and lets the app handle it instead.
public : static void DisableSystemViewActivationPolicy()public static void DisableSystemViewActivationPolicy()Public Static Function DisableSystemViewActivationPolicy() As void// You can use this method in JavaScript.

- options
- ApplicationViewSwitchingOptions ApplicationViewSwitchingOptions ApplicationViewSwitchingOptions ApplicationViewSwitchingOptions
Enumeration value that specifies thw view switching behaviors.
Asynchronously returns true if the call succeeds; false if it does not.
Remarks
The view ID can be obtained for the current app view with ApplicationView.Id. For a specific app view managed by the app, call ApplicationView.GetApplicationViewIdForWindow with the CoreWindow for the app view.

TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(Int32) TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(Int32) TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(Int32) TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(Int32)
Displays another window (app view) for the app on the screen, adjacent to the original window
public : static IAsyncOperation<PlatForm::Boolean> TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(int viewId)public static IAsyncOperation<bool> TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(Int32 viewId)Public Static Function TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(viewId As Int32) As IAsyncOperation( Of bool )// You can use this method in JavaScript.
- viewId
- int Int32 Int32 Int32
The ID of the new window to display.
Asynchronously returns true if the call succeeds; false if it does not.
Remarks
If this method succeeds, a new window is created next to the original window. It can only be called from an ASTA (core UI) thread.
The new window has its own UI thread (ASTA) and associated CoreWindow. Developers should use thread-safe methods for communication between the windows, such as window.postMessage for JavaScript apps and the CoreDispatcher (CoreWindow.Dispatcher ) messaging for C# and C++ developers.
