I had read a ton about setting the app window size on launch. Basically, my app is launching full screen everytime. I want to restrict it to a pre-defined size when it launches. However, nothing seems to be working. Here is what I have done so far:
I have put the following:
var desiredSize = new Size(400, 600); ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().ExitFullScreenMode(); ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().SetPreferredMinSize(desiredSize); ApplicationView.PreferredLaunchViewSize = desiredSize; ApplicationView.PreferredLaunchWindowingMode = ApplicationViewWindowingMode.PreferredLaunchViewSize;
And have tried that snippet in first the constructor for MainPage.xaml.cs (which didn't work), then just above
Window.Current.Activate();
In App.xaml.cs which also didn't work. Based on some reading, I also tried adding:
ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().TryResizeView(desiredSize);
Both after Window.Current.Activate in App.xaml.cs and at the end of the constructor in MainPage.xaml.cs.
I did notice that in MainPage.xaml.cs, I could do:
this.Width = 400;
this.Height = 600;
And that does work to size the MainPage frame within the window properly but the overall Window stays the same size.
I can manually drag the window to the size I want after it launches but I want it so simply just launch this size everytime. What am I missing?
Thanks!
