Open Url

Question

Hello!

I open a webpage with this line of code:

Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(@"http://www.microsoft.com"));

Since Windows 8.1 the webpage is not opening in a own window, it is shown as splitscreen.

Is it possible to force not to open in Splitscreen?

Thx

Answer 1

You cannot force it, but you can request how you want it opened by setting LauncherOptions.DesiredRemainingView .

See the LaunchUriAsync(Uri, LauncherOptions) | launchUriAsync(Uri, LauncherOptions) method.

Thx for answer!

This property do not exist in my LauncherOptions.

Perhaps this is because we are developing in 4.5.0? Is there a way in 4.5.0?

Answer 3

You need to upgrade your app to target Windows 8.1 to use the new Windows 8.1 features.

Windows 8 apps will run on Windows 8.1 but won't have access to the new API.
