Is there a OpenForms Property in WPF? - wpf

In WinForms you can get a list of all open windows using Application.OpenForms? Is there a WPF version of that?

You're looking for Application.Windows.

Cant find DatePicker in WPF

I am using visual studio 2008.
I am learning WPF.
I want to have a Masked TextBox or DatePicker in WPF.

I have tried to Reset the toolbox but still cant find it.

The WPF 1.0 does not provide such controls.
I highly recommend you the WPF Toolkit.

WPF forms+ Winforms in MDI

We have an application which is using winforms. Now we want to upgrade it.
We are planning to use some WPF forms and some old winforms. and we also need to use MDI.
From MDIParent we need to open both winforms and WPF forms. And these forms need to be in tile format. I got to know that WPF doesn't support MDI.
Is there any other way to achieve this?
Using AvalonDock, can we display the forms in tiles format also. I know that it display in Dockable format.
why you want to upgrade your application to wpf and still use some of your old winforms and the mdi concept any further?(i dont like mixup both:))
for quick and dirty what about using your winform app and integrate wpf in it - if you want/have to?
EDIT:
if you want your WinForms in Wpf you can use
<WindowsFormsHost />
It should work with Avalon too. Here is an example for WindowsFormsHost.

How to get datagrid to show in toolbox

I am new to wfp and am looking for the datagrid tool, how do I add it to the toolbox. I have checked in the options and it all appears checked etc.
Thanks, R.
I think problem is in .Net version of project. 3.5 .Net does not support DataGrid in wpf, so, to solve this problem just change .net version of project. For example choose .net 4.0
Right Click the Toolbox. Select "Choose Items...". In the WPF Components Tab, in the Filter Textbox type DataGrid. From there you can add it to the Toolbox.
Yes 3.5 does not support wpfg windows controls just change project .net version to 4.0 and check.

WPF App - How to obtain a reference to the corresponding System.Windows.Forms.Form?

In my WPF Project I have a WPF Window. I want to use Sticky Windows Solution in my WPF Project. The library wants only one parameter: the System.Windows.Forms.Form object.
Does it exist any way to obtain a Form object starting from a WPF Window object?
No, it's not possible. A WPF Window has no inheritance relation with a Windows Forms Form. However it would probably be possible to adapt the code from the library to mentioned so that it works with WPF...
The approach others have mentioned of refactoring Sticky Windows Solution to support WPF forms sounds like your best option. If you really want to treat a WPF form as a Windows Form, maybe the below will help:
Would this work?
Host your WPF form in an ElementHost
control. (ElementHost enables a WPF element to be treated as a Windows Form control.)
Create a simple Windows Form
containing only this ElementHost
control.
Use a reference to this Windows Form in
your Sticky Windows Solution.
While it's not possible, the article and code does present enough information for you to create a WPF version.

How to develop an application looks like VS.NET in WPF?

I want to develop Error List Control present in VS.NET into my application using WPF
Help me
Thank u!!!!!!!!1
have a look at AvalonDocks
The error list in Visual Studio is essentially a DataGrid. Check out the DataGrid control in the WPF Toolkit. If you are using 4.0, DataGrid is part of the framework.
