Force WinRT app to snapped view

Is it possible to start a MetroApp directly in snapped mode?

I want to call another App by Protocol, an the App should open in Snapped mode.

The call to the App by Protocol is not a problem, it works fine, but the App opens in Fullscreen or Main-Content Mode.

I have'nt found any configuration to say "start on Sidebar".

Please Help!

As of now the answer is no. Since the snapped mode functionality depends on the user , you cant skip it / restrict it using code , Hope MS might provide this feature in further .

As @Hermit Dave mentioned unsnapping is possible.

    Kind of strange that snapping is purely a user choice but unsnapping is not. – Sebastian Negraszus Jan 18 '13 at 13:45

    I don't want developers arranging my apps for me. I see your case, and I realize it is fine - but it's also an edge case. If this were possible, developers would likely abuse it, not use it properly like you. I concede your point, but I like how it is, too. – Jerry Nixon Jan 18 '13 at 19:02

The ApplicationView class that i have come across only exposes TryUnsnap and Value (current view value) which is used to request a change from snapped to unsnapped view.

I dont think what you want is possible.
