How to add windows forms control in WPF
I will describe how we can use windows forms controls in WPF application.
I’ll assume I have a WPF Application and I want to use DateTimePicker Control, how I can do that in WPF Application?
1- Create WPF Application.
2- Add Stackpanel control.
3- in Solution Explorer Add Reference for:
- System.Windows.Forms
- WindowsFormsIntegration
using WindowsControls = System.Windows.Forms; using WindowsIntegration = System.Windows.Forms.Integration;
The below method will Add DateTimePacker Control in WPF:
private void AddDateTimePacker(int x)
{
for (int i = 0; i < x; i++)
{
WindowsIntegration.WindowsFormsHost host = new WindowsIntegration.WindowsFormsHost();
WindowsControls.DateTimePicker dateTime = new WindowsControls.DateTimePicker();
dateTime.Name = "DateTimePicker" + i;
dateTime.Left = 0;
dateTime.Top = 0;
dateTime.Text = string.Empty;
//Add control to stack panel
host.Child = dateTime;
stackPanel1.Children.Add(host);
}
}
