the WPF Popup control is nice, but somewhat limited in my opinion. is there a way to \"drag\" a popup around when it is opened (like with the DragMove() method of windows)?<
Building off of Jobi Joy's answer, I found a re-useable solution that allows you to add as a control within xaml of an existing control/page. Which was not possible adding as Xaml with a Name since it has a different scope.
[ContentProperty("Child")]
[DefaultEvent("Opened")]
[DefaultProperty("Child")]
[Localizability(LocalizationCategory.None)]
public class DraggablePopup : Popup
{
public DraggablePopup()
{
MouseDown += (sender, e) =>
{
Thumb.RaiseEvent(e);
};
Thumb.DragDelta += (sender, e) =>
{
HorizontalOffset += e.HorizontalChange;
VerticalOffset += e.VerticalChange;
};
}
///
/// The original child added via Xaml
///
public UIElement TrueChild { get; private set; }
public Thumb Thumb { get; private set; } = new Thumb
{
Width = 0,
Height = 0,
};
protected override void OnInitialized(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInitialized(e);
TrueChild = Child;
var surrogateChild = new StackPanel();
RemoveLogicalChild(TrueChild);
surrogateChild.Children.Add(Thumb);
surrogateChild.Children.Add(TrueChild);
AddLogicalChild(surrogateChild);
Child = surrogateChild;
}
}
