# what is System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ResizeGrip control in WPF?

System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ResizeGrip—This control enables the Window tohave a resize grip within the visual tree. Thus, interaction with the host window of the WPF application will be captured by ResizeGrip such that the application can respond accordingly (for example, layout changes with a new surface area caused by the expansion or contraction of a host window)
