Title bar from a XamRibbonWindow running on a VMWare Workstation

Hans-Dieter Ruppert posted over 4 years ago

The title bar of a XamRibbonWindow looks strange if the app is running in a VmWare Workstaion window.

If it run on a normal Windows10 it looks fine and you see the tilebar text and the whole AppMainMenu button.

I post it here because this effect appears only with XamRibbonWindows.

Any idea how I can prevent this?

Hello,

I have this issue for some time now. The last sample app shows the same problem.

Is there a chance that this is related to local (country, language code etc.) settings?

Hello,

Thank you for the update. As per your instruction ,I made the changes and still not able to reproduce the issue.

Although I am also little confused if you made the changes to use xamRibbonWindow or if still using Window, in which case we're not in the non-client area.

Please look into my sample again and let me know if this is not the correct demonstration of your issue.

Feel free to make changes and send me back for further investigation.

Also i noticed that you shared the screenshot of trial version control, may i know which version license control you are using ,might help to reproduce the issue.

Thank you for your quick response.

You are right. This works on my VM too.

But We use the RibbonWindow not in this way. We declare in the app.xaml for the StartupUri not a Window control but the ribbon window itself:

<Application x:Class="TestSampleVMware.App"
             xmlns="">schemas.microsoft.com/.../presentation"
             xmlns:x="">schemas.microsoft.com/.../xaml"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestSampleVMware"
             StartupUri="RibbonWindow.xaml">
    <Application.Resources>

    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

And in this case I get the effect.

Hello Hans,

Thank you for posting .

As per you instruction I setup up VMware workstation player and launching a VM locally.

I created a sample of XamRibbonWindow against version 19.2 and run the sample on VMware workstation and find I am not able to reproduce the behavior you described.

I can see the clear titlebar text and AppMainMenu button.

I attached the sample here for your testing and also the image of running sample.

If sample if not the correct demonstration of what you are trying at your end ,feel free to update it and send me back for further investigation.
