Fields
  NameDescription
Public fieldStatic memberActualLeftProperty

Public fieldStatic memberActualTopProperty
Identifies the ActualTop dependency property.
Public fieldStatic memberHotspotProperty
Identifies the Hotspot attached property.
Public fieldStatic memberLeftProperty

Top
Attached Properties
  NameDescription

Top
Remarks

Use Left and Top to specify the location of the window. NaN value results in auto location - the location will be decided by its containing WindowPanel. The containing WindowPanel sets the window's ActualLeft and ActualTop properties.

Use Hotspot attached property to specify the WindowHotspot mouse dragging value for elements in the control template. By default, WindowControl inherits ContentControl's control template which provides no movable or resizable user interface.
