I would like to make a login screen for my WPF application, but I want this login screen to be constantly available at a corner of the screen like an application toolbar the application should be hidden and only display when the mouse hovers over a part of the toolbar.

I have searched for solutions, but the only ones I have seen were implemented in c++ for windows applications.

Standard caveats about "always available" apply here of course.

That said, you could easily create a window with WindowStyle="None" (MSDN) and position it wherever you want. This eliminates all window chrome, making it appear that the content is just sitting on the screen. By handling the MouseOver event you could expand to show your additional controls.

Other tricks can be used to have the application live in the tray, etc. For example:

Minimizing Application to system tray using WPF ( Not using NotifyIcon )
