UWP - Launch the app in full-screen mode
The following Universal Windows Platform application development tutorial demonstrates how we can launch an app in full-screen mode.
In this UWP tutorial, we will set the ApplicationView class PreferredLaunchWindowingMode property value to FullScreen to launch the app in full-screen mode.
The ApplicationView class represents the active application view and associated states and behaviors.
The ApplicationView class PreferredLaunchWindowingMode property gets or sets a value that indicates the windowing mode the app launches with. This property value is an ApplicationViewWindowingMode enumeration value that indicates the windowing mode of the app. By default, PreferredLaunchWindowingMode is set to Auto.
The ApplicationViewWindowingMode enumeration defines constants that specify whether the app window is auto-sized, full-screen, or set to a specific size on launch. The enumeration value FullScreen specifies the window is full-screen.
So finally, the UWP developers can launch the app in full-screen mode by setting the ApplicationView class ApplicationViewWindowingMode property value to ApplicationViewWindowingMode.FullScreen.
