I'm trying to launch a uri from my windows 8.1 app but can't get it to launch in UseHalf mode I researched and found that it should be done like this
LauncherOptions lo = new LauncherOptions();
lo.DesiredRemainingView = ViewSizePreference.UseHalf;
lo.DisplayApplicationPicker = true;
await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("http://www.youtube.com"),lo);
but it keeps launching the web browser in full screen I read that the launch depends on many variables and it is not insured that these settings will be applied
my question is there a way to insure that my app and the browser will open side by side in half screen mode?
