Chromless Window and Aero Snap Functionality

[Thomas Mendez]

Hello,

I have an application that is utilizing the Syncfusion Chromeless Window, and I've noticed that the window does not recognize the Aero Snap features provided by windows.

For example, when I click and drag the window Title Bar to the sides of the screen, I expect the window to snap its size to fill half the screen, but it does not. Similarly, when the window is dragged by the Title Bar to the top of the screen, I expect the window to become maximized, but it does not.

Also, when the window is maximized, and the title bar is dragged to minimize the window, sometimes the window jumps to another screen.

Attached is a video documenting this behavior.

Are there some properties I need to set to enable this functionality?

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.

“Query #: Are there some properties I need to set to enable this functionality?”

We need to set the UseNativeChrome property of the ChromelessWindow to true to enable the docking behavior. When this property is enabled, window can be docked to left and right side of the window to resize to half of the screen. Also window can be maximized when docked at the top of the screen.

Awesome. Thank you!

Also, I believe the issue with the window jumping to another screen when the title bar is dragged to minimize the window has been fixed in the most recent version of the Chromeless Window.

No apology is necessary.

As I mentioned, this bug appears to be fixed in the most recent release of the software. It's no longer a problem!

(Although, setting UseNativeChrome="True" appears to break CornerRadius)

Hi Thomas,

In our ChromelessWindow, UseNativeChrome property is implemented to use the native window from OS. When this property is enabled, the native window will get appear and the template will not be applied from ChromelessWindow. So, the property "CornerRadius" will not work when "UseNativeChrome" property is enabled.
