Customly chromed Windows in wpf


I've tried creating a customly chromed window in wpf using WindowStyle None, and AllowsTransparency True, however, when I maximize the window it covers the entire screen (and goes beond it's edges, it also hides the Windows-bar at the bottom of my screen, just like a game in fullscreen). How can I make the behaviour like a normal window, but with my own customly made wpf-chrome?


Solution

  • I found a solution, it required some win32 interop though. Not very pretty, but it works.

        protected override void OnSourceInitialized(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnSourceInitialized(e);
    
            IntPtr handle = (new WinInterop.WindowInteropHelper(this)).Handle;
            WinInterop.HwndSource.FromHwnd(handle).AddHook(new WinInterop.HwndSourceHook(WindowProc));
        }
    
        private IntPtr WindowProc(
            IntPtr hwnd,
            int msg,
            IntPtr wParam,
            IntPtr lParam,
            ref bool handled)
        {
            switch (msg)
            {
                case 0x0024:
                    WmGetMinMaxInfo(hwnd, lParam);
                    handled = true;
                    break;
            }
    
            return (IntPtr)0;
        }
    
        private static void WmGetMinMaxInfo(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr lParam)
        {
            MINMAXINFO mmi = (MINMAXINFO)Marshal.PtrToStructure(lParam, typeof(MINMAXINFO));
    
            // Adjust the maximized size and position to fit the work area of the correct monitor
            int MONITOR_DEFAULTTONEAREST = 0x00000002;
            IntPtr monitor = MonitorFromWindow(hwnd, MONITOR_DEFAULTTONEAREST);
    
            if (monitor != IntPtr.Zero)
            {
                MONITORINFO monitorInfo = new MONITORINFO();
                GetMonitorInfo(monitor, monitorInfo);
                RECT rcWorkArea = monitorInfo.rcWork;
                RECT rcMonitorArea = monitorInfo.rcMonitor;
                mmi.ptMaxPosition.x = Math.Abs(rcWorkArea.left - rcMonitorArea.left);
                mmi.ptMaxPosition.y = Math.Abs(rcWorkArea.top - rcMonitorArea.top);
                mmi.ptMaxSize.x = Math.Abs(rcWorkArea.right - rcWorkArea.left);
                mmi.ptMaxSize.y = Math.Abs(rcWorkArea.bottom - rcWorkArea.top);
            }
    
            Marshal.StructureToPtr(mmi, lParam, true);
        }
