Question

I need a draggable popup control in wpf and was wondering if any of your guys could help me out..I did see the following post:

Drag WPF Popup control

but that isnt how its supposed to work…? When i click and drag it always resets to a specific point and moreover the commenters said that this is not an efficient approach…?
Does anyone have any alternatives?

Thanks!

You could open a child Window with a custom border layout. Then add a MouseDown handler that enables the dragging:

<Window 
        WindowStyle="None"
        ShowInTaskbar="False"
        ResizeMode="NoResize"
        SizeToContent="Height"
        MouseDown="Window_MouseDown">
...
</Window>

In code behind:

    private void Window_MouseDown(Object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
    {
        this.DragMove();
    }
