As you have already said: this only works in WPF.
So why would you expect it suddenly to start working in WinForms because you have brought a WPF control in? That's like saying: I put diesel in my car, so it is now a diesel engine. Last week it ran on unleaded, but now the engine has magically changed...

Not like that, zoom property in only working for the wpf controls and not for the windows controls. My app is on windows form. So how to do it

So if I write a WPF control where all the controls have a lime green background and import it into my WinForms app, would you expect all the WinForms controls to suddenly become lime green?

Krishna, the windows form controls are still going to use windows forms when the application runs, and the WPF controls will use WPF. Having WPF on a form with Windows Forms controls will not cause the Windows Forms controls to magically use WPF. It just doesn't work that way.

+5 for the patience, Griff.

I have less patience is such cases, see my comment below and other answer to (doubled) question by OP.

5 for patience from me as well. I tried to answer to OP's previous question, not explicitly (because it was not clear, did OP want WPF, forms or both, wanted exact answer, but OP ignored my questions). At least of these questions is a good candidate for removal (because of doubling, first of all) I don't see proper cooperation as well.
