How to open multiple windows in a Windows 10 store app

Question

I noticed that Microsoft Edge is capable of opening multiple windows, but i can not seem to find any example of this anywhere to open multiple windows.

I need to open multiple windows in my app for popups from my main windows WebView, i know this is possible but i dont know where to start nor is there anything on the internet

You can try following sample code

var currentAV = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView();
var newAV = CoreApplication.CreateNewView();
await newAV.Dispatcher.RunAsync(
            CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal,
            async () =>
            {
                var newWindow = Window.Current;
                var newAppView = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView();
                newAppView.Title = "New window";

                var frame = new Frame();
                frame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage), null);
                newWindow.Content = frame;
                newWindow.Activate();

                await ApplicationViewSwitcher.TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(
                    newAppView.Id,
                    ViewSizePreference.UseMinimum,
                    currentAV.Id,
                    ViewSizePreference.UseMinimum);
            });
