Answer 1

I had the same issue so I made a simple slider extension as the next best thing. Adds two events to the slider:

ThumbDragStarted ThumbDragCompleted

public class SliderWithDraggingEvents : Slider
{
    public delegate void ThumbDragStartedHandler(object sender, DragStartedEventArgs e);
    public event ThumbDragStartedHandler ThumbDragStarted;


    public delegate void ThumbDragCompletedHandler(object sender, DragCompletedEventArgs e);
    public event ThumbDragCompletedHandler ThumbDragCompleted;

    protected override void OnThumbDragStarted(DragStartedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (ThumbDragStarted != null) ThumbDragStarted(this, e);
        base.OnThumbDragStarted(e);
    }

    protected override void OnThumbDragCompleted(DragCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (ThumbDragCompleted != null) ThumbDragCompleted(this, e);
        base.OnThumbDragCompleted(e);
    }
}
