HI,

In our project, we are using explicit calls of WPF MDI nature application. Here I want to reuse the existing C# Winforms form.

I am able to show the form as frmMain.show();, but it is coming as good as a window dialog. I would like to call as a child form to Parent WPF form. Please help me to proceed further. I can't replicate the whole C# Winforms work in WPF again. Please help me.

Regards,
Janak.

There's no support for MDI in WPF - at all.
