Hi,
I am facing focus issue with the WinformHost control. I have a webbrowser control hosting Microsoft office documents using WinForm usercontrol. I need to display this WinForm control using WPF window as WebBrowser in WPF is having limited capabilities compared with WinForm's one (ours is WPF application). I am using WindowsFormsHost control in WPF for this. Everything works fine until focus shifts to some other window (for eg. ALT + TAB). While returning back to the application, I could see the Focus is lost (that is obvious) but I couldn't get focus back onto the office documents again. Nothing happens while clicking the document being hosted in the webbrowser now. Please let me know if anyone has any workaround/fix for this.

Thanks.

Why? WPF has its own System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser.

I can't use WPF WebBrowser control as it doesn't provide interfaces to talk to the COM components (Interop Excel, Word) which I require for attaching ActiveX documents (like MS Office documents).
