How can I set the Windows position on startup

Question

I want to set the position of the window on the right side on the screen similar to WPF. Is there a way in UWP to do this?

AFAIK it's not possible in UWP (at least not yet), you can change window size or make it fullscreen by accessing ApplicationView class, but there are no such methods/properties like in WPF.

There was also similar question on MSDN.

Yes there is a way :) Go to your xaml for example Windows1.xaml

then put this there. Example code

 <Window
x:Class="Poultry_Management_System.Window1"      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Login"
Width="450"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
WindowStyle="None"
ResizeMode="NoResize"
Topmost="True"
KeyDown="keyDown_form"
Height="200">

As you can see my StartupLocation there is in the Center.

Thanks for answering! What if I want to set the Window location programmatically? – RandomUser Feb 07 '17 at 06:06
Well then you should read about event base actions thoroughly. There are many example about that – Rkp Conson Visda Feb 07 '17 at 06:08
Are you sure this is for *UWP*? – Romasz Feb 07 '17 at 06:20
By the way, your solution is also for WPF, UWP uses and :) – RandomUser Feb 07 '17 at 06:22
@RandomUser Where in ** or ** in *UWP* is *WindowStartupLocation*? – Romasz Feb 07 '17 at 06:43
@Romasz, I coudn't find the property anywhere, I think it's a only property. – RandomUser Feb 07 '17 at 06:48
This doesn't work in UWP. It's for WPF. UWP does have a class `Window`, but it cannot be declared in XAML and doesn't have such properties as `Topmost` or `WindowStartupLocation`, or `ResizeMode` – Artemious Aug 08 '17 at 06:38
