Customizing Border in WPF Chromeless Window

18 Nov 20181 minute to read

This section describes the properties that can be used to customize the resize border of a Chromeless Window.

BorderBrush

The borders of the resizable window can be painted by using the ResizeBorderBrush property. The default value is null.

To set the ResizeBorderBrush property, use the code below.

<syncfusion:ChromelessWindow x:Class="Chromelesswindow.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="ChromelessWindow" Height="350" Width="525" ResizeBorderBrush="Maroon" syncfusion:SkinStorage.VisualStyle="Metro"     
x:Name="_chromelessWindow"    xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Windows.Shared;assembly=Syncfusion.Shared.WPF" >
<Grid>
</Grid>
</syncfusion:ChromelessWindow>
this.ResizeBorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Maroon);
Me.ResizeBorderBrush = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.Maroon)

BorderThickness

To set the thickness for the resize border, use the ResizeBorderThickness property of the ChromelessWindow. This property virtually sets the region for the resize pointer to appear. Hence, a larger region makes it easier to resize the window.

To set this property, use the following code.

<syncfusion:ChromelessWindow x:Class="Chromelesswindow.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="ChromelessWindow" Height="350" Width="525" ResizeBorderThickness="8"  syncfusion:SkinStorage.VisualStyle="Metro"     
x:Name="_chromelessWindow"    xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Windows.Shared;assembly=Syncfusion.Shared.WPF" >
<Grid>
</Grid>
</syncfusion:ChromelessWindow>
this.ResizeBorderThickness = new Thickness(8);
Me.ResizeBorderThickness = New Thickness(8)
