Windows窗体中的WPF

Question

Hi guys,

I'm working on new project that based on Windows Forms C# pattern. One of the window in my software, need to be designed by WPF, is there any way to use WPF window inside Windows Forms project?

I mean, when i'm calling to new window i use this code:

Windows w = new Windows();
w.Show();

but when i'm trying to it on the WPF class it's throwing me an error that it's not supported.

Can i do something like that with the WPF window?

If you find yourself in need to open a WPF Window from a WinForms program:

1. Create/Add a new project of type "WPF Custom Control Library"
2. Add a new Item of type "Window (WPF)"
3. Do your thing with the WPF Window
4. From your WinForms app, create and open the WPF Window.

code snippet:

WPFWindow.Window1 wpfwindow = new WPFWindow.Window1();
ElementHost.EnableModelessKeyboardInterop(wpfwindow);
wpfwindow.Show();

However ensure you have the following using statements:

using System; //Given 
using System.Windows.Forms; //Given
using System.Windows.Forms.Integration; //Not so Given.
