The SurfaceWindow class derives from the Window class and provides several enhancements that are required for the Microsoft Surface environment.

A SurfaceWindow control provides and activates the necessary event handlers to make sure that it receives touch events and displays Touch Visualizations. By default, SurfaceWindow appears maximized.

ImportantImportant
Do not specify values for the properties that are related to window size (for example, the inherited Height and Width properties). If you specify size values, your application will not be displayed in full-screen mode when running in the Surface environment (in Surface Shell, on a device made for Surface).

On systems with multiple monitors, a SurfaceWindow control automatically recognizes which monitor is the touch-sensitive surface and displays itself there.
