Shows how to create multiple windows for a single app.

Multiple views sample

Shows how to create multiple windows for a single app.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. You can download this sample as a standalone ZIP file from docs.microsoft.com, or you can download the entire collection as a single ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

Specifically, this sample covers:

  • Creating and showing multiple windows or views of the app. The app has one primary view and can have multiple secondary views.
  • Specifying which view to show when the app is activated.
  • Creating custom animations for switching between views.

To obtain an insider copy of Windows 10, go to Windows 10.

Note For Windows 10 app samples, go to Windows 10 Samples. The samples for Windows 10 can be built and run using Windows developer tools.
