To reproduce: public partial class Form2 : RadRibbonForm { public Form2() { InitializeComponent(); this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; this.radRibbonBar1.ApplicationMenuStyle = ApplicationMenuStyle.BackstageView; this.AllowAero = false; this.Icon = Properties.Resources.WinFormsIcon; } } Workaround1: set AllowAero property to true if it is possible. Workaround2: this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.RibbonCaption.MouseMove += RibbonCaption_MouseMove; private void RibbonCaption_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left && this.WindowState== FormWindowState.Maximized) { this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; this.Location = new Point(this.Location.X,e.Location.Y); } }
