Hiding the ellipse button in command bar

Question

I am trying to show the ellipse button in the command bar only when it is in a Minimal mode.

So far, the command bar isn't showing the ellipse button when on launched, this is how it looks like:

So when I clicked on my hide button, which is the last button in the picture above, this is how it looks like (in Minimal mode):

*it is quite hard to see, but the ellipse is showing....

So here comes the problem

When I click on the command bar again when it is in the mininal mode (second picture), it looks like this:

With the ellipse button showing.... I want the command bar to look like how it looks like when on launched (first picture) when I clicked on the command bar again...

it is still in minimal mode when you click on hide button it will hide again watch this https://1drv.ms/v/s!AlsWJhYaBXFrc_gkX5ea8AEtqCY — Shubham Sahu, Oct 30 '17 at 06:24
hmmmm.... I would say that... it is kind of troublesome to have to click like twice to hide the ellipse... — thalassophile, Oct 30 '17 at 06:26
when you click on ellipsis it is just expanding not go in compact mode it will hide when you click on hide button — Shubham Sahu, Oct 30 '17 at 06:27

OverflowButtonVisibility = Collapsed in Opening event and OverflowButtonVisibility = Visible in Closing event

private void MyCommandBar_Opening(object sender, object e)
{
    MyCommandBar.OverflowButtonVisibility = CommandBarOverflowButtonVisibility.Collapsed;
}

private void MyCommandBar_Closing(object sender, object e)
{
    MyCommandBar.OverflowButtonVisibility = CommandBarOverflowButtonVisibility.Visible;
}

I would like to set my command bar open always when launched... this is actually a continue question from this, as the person who asked the previous question did not really understand what I am looking for: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47007282/minimise-a-commandbar-in-uwp-with-on-click-event Please take a look at it, if you are free... – thalassophile Oct 30 '17 at 08:14
@thalassophile I will post the answer for that question in that post. I can't answer here because this question is not related to that answer. – Vijay Nirmal Oct 30 '17 at 08:48
