Adding WPF Windows to an existing Windows Form Project
Last week I was working on
one window application. In this application we have to add WPF window to
existing Window form project
Following code describes
how to add WPF window to existing Window form project
There are 2 ways we can add
WPF window to existing window form application
1.
Using Designer Side
1.
Add
reference to System.Windows.Forms and WindowsFormsIntegration.
Select System.Windows.Forms
Once these two references
are added, we have access to all windows forms controls and access to the
components that will allow us to embed them in WPF.
2. In the WPF Tool Box, we
can see WindowsFormsHost control
Drag and Drop the WindowsFormsHost Control in WPF Window.
Our XAML is going to be extremely simple:
|
<Window x:Class = "Window1" > xmlns= "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="278" Width="587" <Grid> <WindowsFormsHost Name="WindowsFormsHost1" > </Grid> </Window |
2.
Using Code Behnind file
|
using System;
using
System.Windows.Forms;
using
System.Windows.Forms.Integration;
var
wpfwindow = new WPFWindow.Window1();
ElementHost.EnableModelessKeyboardInterop(wpfwindow);
wpfwindow.Show();
|
In the above code The EnableModelessKeyboardInterop() call is
necessary to handle keyboard input in the WPF window if loaded from a non-WPF
host like WinForms.
Happy Programming!!
