I need to develop a WPF application that will programmatically add a specific device (a Samsung Tablet) as a wireless display device for Win10. Basically what the 'Win key + K' does, minus the device selection part. Both the Win 10 system and the tablet will be on the same Wifi network.
I have run the Basic casting, Advance casting and Project sample from Windows UWP samples. Basic casting and Advance casting are unable to find the Samsung tablet, while Win+ K can. In addition, these samples are either only casting a video, or the current application (instead of the desktop) to the remote device. They also do not enable UIBC feature.
May I know if there is any sample that is suitable for me? Or can point me to any documentation on this topic?
Thank you,
Angela

Windows Key + Kdoes but I searched and now I know it is for connecting to Miracast devices. So when you say Basic casting I assume you are referring to some Miracast devices samples. It would help for you to be specific about what those samples are. Probably you should provide the details of what problem(s) you are having with the samples. As for casting the desktop, you probably will not find samples that do everything that satisfies your requirements. Access to the entire desktop would be a separate topic. -

2021-07-09T07:33:24.063+00:00 I am referring to the MSDN UWP samples from the following:
https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/main/Samples/BasicMediaCasting
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/main/Samples/AdvancedCasting
https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/main/Samples/ProjectionI want to add a particular Samsung Tablet as a wireless display to my current desktop. Eg. I have only 1 screen now, I want to add the tablet as my Screen 2 (extend my current Desktop).
Using 'Win + K', or using 'add a wireless display' option from Display Settings I am able to find the tablet and connect to it, and enable UIBC, so that I can use the tablet stylus to work on tablet for Windows program such as Whiteboard.
With BasicMedia Casting and AdvanceCasting samples, I am either unable to find the tablet device, or find the device with a 'Phone' icon/category in front. (For 'Win +K' option, the tablet is showed as a 'display' category. ) And I am unable to connect to the tablet with the 2 samples.
With Projection sample, I am able to find and connect to the tablet, but no way to enable UIBC. In addition, Project sample projects a particular application to the tablet, not showing a desktop, although I find out that it does add the tablet as a 2nd screen.
