Programmatically Position Holographic UWP XML Window
I’ve developed a C#/XAML UWP app used to display multiple 2D windows (videos/pdfs/interactive XAML windows with buttons) and everything is working great. However, one of the features I want to implement is the capability to arrange the holographic windows in a line, or some other preset configuration.
It seems that the XAML windows have no awareness of the Holographic shell in which they are contained. The user can drag and pin, but I am stuck on finding a way to set the window’s location programmatically. How can I grab and manipulate the 3D positional data from the parent holographic frame?

@cjspringer3 ,
I'm pretty sure this is a part of the OS shell and not something you can manipulate yourself -- much like the tile system in Windows 10 is closed off.

@james_ashley thanks for your response. I am trying to find a way to use Unity to create some type of wrapper for my 2D application. No luck yet...
@cjspringer3,
Yeah. That would be very cool. You might be able to get close by switching between 2d and 3d, as in this tutorial by Cameron Jensen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaPHlUoGPZw

Hi @cjspringer3,
Did you find a solution to your problem ?
I'm really interested in this issue, having a similar problem.
I would like to get/set a XAML app location programmatically.
Thanks in advance.
