using code , follow below steps. Add references to the following assemblies. WindowsFormsIntegration System.Windows.Forms using System.Windows.Forms; In the window_Loaded event , you can use any windows control private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { // Create the interop host control. System.Windows.Forms.Integration.WindowsFormsHost host = new System.Windows.Forms.Integration.WindowsFormsHost(); // Create the MaskedTextBox control. MaskedTextBox mtbDate = new MaskedTextBox( "00/00/0000" ); // Assign the MaskedTextBox control as the host control's child. host.Child = mtbDate; // Add the interop host control to the Grid // control's collection of child controls. this .grid1.Children.Add(host); }

In c# you can do like this: WindowsFormsHost host = new WindowsFormsHost(); winFormControlNamespace :WinformControl1 myControl = new winFormControlNamespace :WinformControl1(); host.Children.Add( myControl ); // Add control to the WPF element this .grid1.Children.Add(host); If you want a solution in XAML then here is the code: Grid x:Name = 'grid1' > WindowsFormsHost Name = "wfh" DockPanel.Dock = "Top" Height = "300" > :WinformControl1 Name = "myControl" /> WindowsFormsHost > Grid >
