Setting Window in WPF to the bottom right

Question

I am trying to set my window to the bottom left. The window has no title bar and the height is set to auto and SizeToContent is Height and WindowStartupLocation is Manual

After setting the content I am executing these two lines of code:

Left = SystemParameters.WorkArea.Width - Width - 2; 
Top = SystemParameters.WorkArea.Height - Height - 2;

These two lines are in the SetupWindow() function

InitializeComponent();            

            foreach (Caller c in callers)
            {
                CallerLine callerline = new CallerLine();
                Hyperlink link = (Hyperlink)callerline.FindName("link");
                ContentControl ccname = (ContentControl)callerline.FindName("ccname");
                ContentControl ccnumber = (ContentControl)callerline.FindName("ccnumber");                

                link.RequestNavigate += hyperlink_RequestNavigate;
                ccname.Content = c.Name;
                ccnumber.Content = " " + c.PhoneNumber;

                spCallers.Children.Add(callerline);
            }

            SetupWindow();

I am doing all my setup stuff before I am setting the window to its new position!

Now the window is set somewhere on the Right site of the screen but not on the bottom. How can I set it to the bottom Right?

Does this answer your question? [How to set the location of WPF window to the bottom right corner of desktop?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7620488/how-to-set-the-location-of-wpf-window-to-the-bottom-right-corner-of-desktop) — Sinatr, Jul 24 '20 at 07:34
no, as you can see I am doing the same as the answer in the post is, but it does not work for me — MP13, Jul 24 '20 at 07:36
I can't see *when* you are doing this and I suppose it's the problem. — Sinatr, Jul 24 '20 at 07:37
It works with ContentRendered. Maybe the errorr is that my Thread is running faster than the Thread who sets those values? — MP13, Jul 24 '20 at 07:46
You are doing this in constructor, please do it instead in `Loaded` event as per answer in duplicate. Small details matter, never ignore them unless you have enough experience ;) — Sinatr, Jul 24 '20 at 07:58
now I have it in the ContentRendered event, but it is still about 10px up — MP13, Jul 24 '20 at 08:03
now it works but I am setting the window position in SetupWindow() and when ContentRendered — MP13, Jul 24 '20 at 08:06

The solution was to set the position when the ContentRendered is triggered. here the code:

private void Window_ContentRendered(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Left = SystemParameters.WorkArea.Width - Width - 2;
    Top = SystemParameters.WorkArea.Height - Height - 2;
}
