Here's an examp;e"

    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
    <ToggleButton x:Name="MainButton" Content="Show popup" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
    <Popup PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=MainButton}" Placement="Bottom" AllowsTransparency="True" IsOpen="{Binding ElementName=MainButton, Path=IsChecked}">
        <Grid>
            <Border BorderBrush="Orange" BorderThickness="1" Background="Yellow"/>
            <TextBlock Text="Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry"/>
        </Grid>            
    </Popup>
</Grid>

Answer 3

I don't think there's a way to draw outside the bounds of a window. However, you could simply create a new window for the note control and align it to your main window.

Answer 4

Contents of window will always get clipped. So basically there is only one way to go here. You could get the desired effect by creating a new transparent window for your floating content and then manualy set and update the position of floating content window based on the location of main window.

So far I've been using AvalonDock for similar functionalty. You might give it a try...
