Mouse click and drag Event WPF

I am developing an analog clock picker control. The user is able to click on the minute or hour hand and drag to turn the needle to select the specific time. I was wondering how to detect such a click and drag event.

I tried using MouseLeftButtonDown + MouseMove but I cannot get it to work as MouseMove is always trigger when the mousemove happen despite me using a flag. Is there any easier way? 

public bool dragAction = false;

private void minuteHand_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    dragAction = true;
    minuteHand_MouseMove(this.minuteHand, e);
}

private void minuteHand_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (dragAction == true)
    {
       //my code: moving the needle
    }
 }

 private void minuteHand_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
 {
    dragAction = false;
 }

I think this is the easiest and most straightforward way :

 private void Window_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
     if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed) {
        this.DragMove();
     }
 }

public bool dragAction = false;

private void minuteHand_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    dragAction = true;
    minuteHand_MouseMove(this.minuteHand, e);
}

private void minuteHand_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (dragAction == true)
    {
       this.DragMove();
    }
 }

 private void minuteHand_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
 {
    dragAction = false;
 }

does the trick

You can make things easier and need not handle mouse down / up :

private void minuteHand_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (Mouse.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
    {
        //my code: moving the needle
    }
 }
