Hi,
I hope you are using "AllowTransparency" along with "ResizeMode"
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Width="300" Height="300"
WindowStyle="None"
AllowsTransparency="True"
ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip">
</Window>
Now "AllowTransparency" can lead to Memory leak so you may refer to below style property
<Style TargetType="Window" x:Key="DialogWindow">
<Setter Property="AllowsTransparency" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="WindowStyle" Value="None"/>
<Setter Property="ResizeMode" Value="CanResizeWithGrip"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Window}">
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="3" CornerRadius="10" Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"
Width="{TemplateBinding Width}" Background="Gray">
<DockPanel>
<Grid DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Height="35" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
x:Name="PART_WindowHeader"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<Button Width="15" Height="15" Content="x" Grid.Column="1" x:Name="PART_CloseButton"/>
</Grid>
<Border HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Background="LightBlue" CornerRadius="0,0,10,10"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
Grid.RowSpan="2">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="20"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="20"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ResizeGrip Width="10" Height="10" Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.Row="1"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</DockPanel>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
The above code reference is from this
link.
I hope this helps to resolve your issue.
