Question

for some reason i used a WPF Window in my application. so i want to ask how can i set WPF window parent to my MDI Form?

Answer 1

The following code should give you the ability to set the owner of the wpf dialog to your win form.

public static void SetOwner(System.Windows.Forms.Form owner, System.Windows.Window wpfWindow)
    {
        WindowInteropHelper helper = new WindowInteropHelper(wpfWindow);
        helper.Owner = owner.Handle;
    }

Answer 2

There is an open-source MDI implementation for WPF that you might want to look at. It may be a good bit of work and re-structuring of your code, but if you absolutely must have MDI, then that may be the best way to go forward with this - MDI for WPF.
