I just started learning WPF, and I've been trying to add this WPF control to a regular WinForm.
I know I can use Forms.Integration.ElementHost to host WPF controls in a WinForm. But as StatusStrip takes Items and not Controls it's marking the ElementHost as incompatible.
Do I need to replace the entire StatusStrip with WPF ToolBar for this to work?
You can use ToolStripControlHost to add any control to the strip. For example for an element host which hosts a wpf user control, you can use this code:
var host = new ToolStripControlHost(this.elementHost1);
this.statusStrip1.Items.Add(host);

I just wondering about my windows Application. When i re-size windows form that time my Form controls should re-size. Can any body tell me how to do this in Vc++
Each one of your controls has an anchor property, set this property on each control to their relative position on the form then when you resize the form the controls will move and stay "Aligned"
i hope this is what you are referring to, and that this helps
I have a user control and I'm adding to a WinForms panel in an ElementHost. I'm resizing my user control at runtime and want to bind its size with parent ElementHost.
Is this possible? Please provide solution if any.
Set DockStyle.Fill property for ElementHost's Dock property.
How can I add a Web Browser control to a tabItem in WPF at runtime?
tabItem.Content = new WebBrowser();
If you want multiple controls in the TabItem, you'll need to use a Panel, just like you would in XAML.
I have made one custom user control (search text box), which basically consists of one dock panel, and in the panel there are two controls: textbox and button.
I have set some default appearance for this control, which consists of setting a border on the user control, and setting no borders and no background on the textbox, and I have created a custom style for the button. So far this control looks the way I want, and is working correctly.
The problem arises when I want to allow themes for my application. When I put custom styles for basic windows controls (Button, TextBox, ListBox, etc), they are displayed properly with the new theme. But I don't know how to make a template for my custom control. Any attempt ended up in the control not showing at all at runtime.
What exactly must be done in the new template for this control? Do I need to make a template for the User control, and for the textbox and the button controls also?
You are mixing up user controls and custom controls here. What you described above is a user control, and you cannot apply new templates to it.
i want to set the CommandTarget property of menu item to the TextControl which is written in win form
or just tell me any way which can execute the command lets say cut copy paste on the control which is written in win form user control and added to xaml through WindowsFormsHost
You cannot set WPF properties on WinForms objects.
You have to hook the events on WinForms controls the WinForms way.
