What Pailes and Derekk says about creating a Borderless window with move control in Microsfot Expression Blend is pretty simple that way:

1. Select you window in Expression blend.
2. Set “WindowStyle” = “None”
3. Select Events (While Window is selected)
4. Set MouseLeftButtonDown (Give your custom name or just double click).
5. *ForDefault case following event will be created in ur “Xamal.CS” file: and write the code as given below

private void Window_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
this.DragMove();
}

Wound up here in search of something totally different, but ended up to be a good read anyway, so I guess sometimes it’s ok that you can’t use a search engine properly.

Comment on Vista PC won’t go to sleep by Derek

If you’re saying that when you’ve shut Vista down (or any operating system for that matter), the montor stays switched on, that’s not an OS issue. Some monitors have a sleep mode, so if the are left switched on, after a while they go to sleep. Others will stay switched on. It just depends on the monitor

Comment on Vista PC won’t go to sleep by Richard Weinberg

I had the same problem on my desktop. The computer awoke from sleep immediately after going to sleep. I went to Control Panel, Power Options, Edit Plan Settings. Click on Change Advanced Power Settings. Expand “Power buttons and lid.” Click on “Start Menu Power Button.” Click on “Sleep” (or whatever is shown in color). A drop-down menu will appear. Select “hibernate”, and click on “Apply”, the “OK”.
When you use the shutdown button on the start menu, your computer will save your settings and go into hibernate. When you want to resume, use the physical start button on the computer. The machine will restart with all the programs open as of the time you went into hibernate. The mouse and keyboard will not awaken the computer from hibernate, you must use the button on the computer.

Apart from keyboard and mouse, the following devices could also wake up the system from sleep:

NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
High Definition Audio Controller
PCI Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP

You may want to disable them via Control Panel -> Device Manager -> -> Power Management tab -> uncheck “Allow this device to wake the computer”
