WPF - How to change the offset of Popup

I am dragging a Popup using WPF C#.

I have a 600*400 size control inside the popup.
So the Popup gets its size as is.

I made an event to change the offset of the popup by dragging the control and it works fine.

But when the popup moves to the edge of the screen
Pop-ups never leave the screen.

Because of the size of the popup.
Can't I just make the popup control draggable out of the screen area?

To briefly explain my situation,

inside my Popup control

I have a Grid control with 3 Columns.

The Border included in the 1st and 3rd columns of the Grid is,
Each time you click another button on the control, it will be shown or hidden.

Actually, only the part included in column 2 is always exposed.

In this case, if you drag
The popup area is set as much as the size of column 1 and column 3, so it does not move to the actual drag position on the screen.

Even though the content contained in columns 1 and 3 is hidden depending on the position of the popup,
I want to drag a popup based on column 2.
The size of the Popup control is
Is there any setting that allows it to leave the window area?
