Microsoft products allow the application to be dragged and moved around the screen by the Ribbon Header area, but that doesn't seem the case when using XamRibbonWindows.
Is there a way to enable this feature? Or it is not offered by the XamRibbonWindow at all?
Hello Dzyann,
Thank you for your post.
Currently, it does not appear that dragging a XamRibbonWindow by its header area is offered at the moment. However, there is a simple way to implement this. By handling the PreviewMouseDown event on the XamRibbon, you can check the OriginalSource property of the event arguments of that particular event. If you click on an empty part of the header area, this e.OriginalSource will return a XamPager named PART_TabItemScrollViewer. If you check if(e.OriginalSource is XamPager) and if that XamPager's Name property contains the word "PART," you can then call (where "this" is the XamRibbonWindow) this.DragMove(). This will move the window as long as the mouse button remains pressed.
I have attached a sample project to demonstrate the above. I hope this helps you.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.

Thanks Andrew! That was my impression, I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything obvious.
I will check out your code, thanks for the sample.
Thank you for your response. I will continue to monitor this forum thread while I await your next follow up on this matter.
