Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

You need to handle the DragOver event.

EDIT: Try handling the GiveFeedback event on the control that you called DoDragDrop on; that might do what you're looking for.

thanks for your reply, so I would have to add dragover to all controls in my window and let them point to one single event handler that moves my control?

I guess so. (I've never done this myself)

I finally used the WinApi to get the cursor position, but using dragover is also used sometimes. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jaimer/archive/2007/07/12/drag-drop-in-wpf-explained-end-to-end.aspx.

I used Snoop to help me see that my code was firing the DragOver event and not the MouseMove event. See: http://blois.us/Snoop/

The problem is that DragOver only fires when you enter the bounds of a control that has AllowDrop set to True. It doesn't re-fire as the mouse moves around inside it. So you can't adjust the visual feedback based on the mouse position. GiveFeedBack only fires on the source, not the one you're hovering over.
