(The WPF control and all of...
I'm hosting a WPF UserControl in a WinForms container. Now, I want to be able to theme/skin the UserControl. To do this, I've got several resource dictionaries that define the "skins." When my app starts up I create a "new System.Windows.Application()" so that Application.Current exists. To change the theme the old skin is removed an...
We are developing a UI Control in WPF to be consumed within an existing Windows Forms / MFC application engine (Rhino 3D). The application engine exposes the ability create a "Dockbar" which essentially lets you put Windows Forms controls inside a child window which can dock to the Engines Interface. I am attempting to put a simple WPF...

Hello, is it possible to display a Modal Window from a WPF User Control, that is a child of an ElementHost, and set the owner/parent of the Modal Window to the containing Form control?

I have a WinForms ComboBox control at the top of my form. Different ElementHost controls are shown based on what is displayed in the ComboBox.

I'm using WPF in WinForms with ElementHost. When the form loads, there is a flash of black background where the ElementHost is about to load. This looks kind of bad. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this? ...
Curious if there are any disadvantages to using an ElementHost to host a WPF UserControl in a Winform application? I ask because in general I feel that it takes to much time for me create a new WPF application with a basic interface that looks decent. Decent in the sense that if I create a new Winforms application and throw some control...

Looking for a free spell checking solution, I thought I was so smart in doing this but I guess not. I have created a windows form based application and I want the form to add a user specified amount of user controls (with textboxes) on to a panel. The user can then click some button and the controls on this panel are cleared and new one...

I'm showing WPF content in a WinForms Form (via ElementHost) and trying to work out some sizing logic. I've got it working fine when the OS is running at the default 96 dpi.
