Created Bindable WindowsFormsHost, but child update is not being reflected to control

Question

I created ran into a problem where i want to bind a control to a windowsFormsHost control. But as we all know, the Child property is not a DP, so i created

Answer 1

Instead of creating a wrapper you could wrap the WindowsFormsHost in a ContentControl and set its Content property via a binding. That way you avoid the issue with the WindowsFormsHosts Child property not being a dependency property.

Something like this in XAML:

<ContentControl Content="{Binding MyWindowsFormsHost}" />

..and this in your code-behind:

public WindowsFormsHost MyWindowsFormsHost
{   
    get { return new WindowsFormsHost(){Child=myWinformsControl}; }   
}
