WPF的MetroWindow风格窗口的SaveWindowPosition属性（自动保存前回窗口位置）的原理调查

 

<MetroControls:MetroWindow x:Class="MainWindowView"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
...
        SaveWindowPosition="True"
...>

这里的SaveWindowPosition属性设置为True之后，就可以实现窗口前回最后停留的位置信息的保存和读取。

经过调查发现， MahApps.Metro.Controls里，实现窗口位置读存的函数是LoadWindowState和SaveWindowState。

 

        protected virtual void LoadWindowState()
        {
            if (this._settings == null)
            {
                return;
            }
            this._settings.Reload();
            if (!this._settings.Placement.HasValue || this._settings.Placement.Value.normalPosition.IsEmpty)
            {
                return;
            }
            try
            {
                WINDOWPLACEMENT value = this._settings.Placement.Value;
                value.length = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT));
                value.flags = 0;
                value.showCmd = ((value.showCmd == 2) ? 1 : value.showCmd);
                UnsafeNativeMethods.SetWindowPlacement(new WindowInteropHelper(this._window).Handle, ref value);
            }
            catch (Exception innerException)
            {
                throw new MahAppsException("Failed to set the window state from the settings file", innerException);
            }
        }

        protected virtual void SaveWindowState()
        {
            if (this._settings == null)
            {
                return;
            }
            IntPtr handle = new WindowInteropHelper(this._window).Handle;
            WINDOWPLACEMENT wINDOWPLACEMENT = default(WINDOWPLACEMENT);
            wINDOWPLACEMENT.length = Marshal.SizeOf(wINDOWPLACEMENT);
            UnsafeNativeMethods.GetWindowPlacement(handle, ref wINDOWPLACEMENT);
            if (wINDOWPLACEMENT.showCmd != 0 && wINDOWPLACEMENT.length > 0)
            {
                RECT normalPosition;
                if (wINDOWPLACEMENT.showCmd == 1 && UnsafeNativeMethods.GetWindowRect(handle, out normalPosition))
                {
                    wINDOWPLACEMENT.normalPosition = normalPosition;
                }
                if (!wINDOWPLACEMENT.normalPosition.IsEmpty)
                {
                    this._settings.Placement = new WINDOWPLACEMENT?(wINDOWPLACEMENT);
                }
            }
            this._settings.Save();
        }

进一步可以知道，窗口位置信息的获取是使用GetWindowPlacement函数，重新设回前回 位置使用的是SetWindowPlacement函数。可以知道，这两个函数是Windows的API函数。

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
internal static extern bool GetWindowPlacement(IntPtr hWnd, ref WINDOWPLACEMENT lpwndpl);

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
internal static extern bool SetWindowPlacement(IntPtr hWnd, [In] ref WINDOWPLACEMENT lpwndpl);

即，WPF的MetroWindow风格窗口的位置自动记忆功能。使用的是GetWindowPlacement和GetWindowRect系统函数取得窗口位置信息并保存，下 

次启动窗口时，取读取前回的位置信息，并用SetWindowPlacement系统函数设置回去。
