System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

In custom WPF shells that use WindowStyle=None and WindowChrome, hosted content (such as a WebView2 UI) can visually clip at the native boundary when the window is maximized. This approach provides a proven method to inset the hosted content so visuals stay intact across maximize/restore transitions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inset the hosted content container on maximize to prevent clipping at the native boundary.
  • Keep the host chrome and the hosted content visually separated to avoid layout collisions and ensure consistent padding.
  • Compatible with common hosting scenarios (WebView2, hosted UIs) and restoration behavior after unmaximize.

Quick Start

Add an inset to the hosted content container when the window is maximized, using SystemParameters.WindowResizeBorderThickness for the margins, and reset on restore.
