Can I host Wpf Ribbon control inside my Winform Application?

Question

I have a RibbonControl built in WPF .

My question is, can I host Wpf Ribbon control inside a Windows form application and it is a bad thing or bad design to do this?

Answer 1

It can be done with ElementHost

From my experience, the performance are not good but I used it to host a very complex control so maybe with lighter controls it will function better. Here is your solution: http://tech.pro/tutorial/799/wpf-tutorial-using-wpf-in-winforms
