Detect if Windows 8.1 store app is in SplittView or FullView

Question

Is there a way to tell if a Windows 8.1 store (XAML / C#) is in SplittView ?

Or is there a way to get the full width of the current monitor?

Answer 1

You can check if it's full screen through ApplicationView.IsFullScreen :

using Windows.UI.ViewManagement 

if (ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().IsFullScreen)
{
    // ...
}
else
{
}

and exact dimensions through Window.Bounds :

var width = Window.Current.Bounds.Width;
var height = Window.Current.Bounds.Height;
