Open new window on secondary monitor in UWP

Question

I have a UWP project with two monitors that I want to use to open a new window on a secondary monitor. The application includes three parts:

1. Open Main Page on first monitor
2. Create new page
3. Open on secondary monitor

I wrote the first and second parts correctly, but I can't find a solution for the third part.

Please help me with moving the window to another monitor.

public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        this.InitializeComponent();

      //called creat new page function
        NewWindow();
    }

    private async void NewWindow()
    {
        var myview = CoreApplication.CreateNewView();
        int newid = 0;
        await myview.Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
        {
            Frame newframe = new Frame();
            newframe.Navigate(typeof(Newpage), null);

            Window.Current.Content = newframe;
            Window.Current.Activate();
            ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().Title = "Z";

            newid = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().Id;
        });

        await ApplicationViewSwitcher.TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(newid, ViewSizePreference.UseMinimum);

    }

}

I found the solution and used ProjectionManger Class.

 private async void expand()
    {
        var NewWindow = CoreApplication.CreateNewView();
        int Windowid = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().Id;
        int NewWindowid = 0;

        await NewWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
        {
            Frame newframe = new Frame();
            newframe.Navigate(typeof(Newpage), null);

            Window.Current.Content = newframe;
            Window.Current.Activate();
            ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().Title = "New Page";

            NewWindowid = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().Id;
        });

        //Call ProjectionManager class for moving new window to secodary display
        bool available = ProjectionManager.ProjectionDisplayAvailable;

        ProjectionManager.ProjectionDisplayAvailableChanged += (s, e) =>
        {
            available = ProjectionManager.ProjectionDisplayAvailable;
        };

        await ProjectionManager.StartProjectingAsync(NewWindowid, Windowid);
    }

As @Ehssan's suggestion, the ProjectionManager Class meets your requirement. When you create a new view, you could use ProjectionManager.StartProjectingAsync Method to send it to the projector or other secondary display.

You could see the official Projection sample for more information.

This might help your for identifying monitors.

this.Location = Screen.AllScreens[1].WorkingArea.Location;
