I have a simple WPF application MyWPF.exe,
namespace MyWPF
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Button is clicked");
}
}
}
I want to load this "MainWindow" in my Winform application, I tried like below, I am getting exception when creating instance as "System.InvalidOperationException: Window must be the root of the tree. Cannot add Window as a child of Visual."
String path = @"D:\Test\MyForm\MyWPF\bin\Debug\MyWPF.exe";
System.Reflection.Assembly myExeApp = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(path);
System.Type MyWPFType = myExeApp.GetType("MyWPF.MainWindow");
var MyWPFInstance = (System.Windows.Window)myExeApp.CreateInstance("MyWPF.MainWindow");
ctrlHost = new ElementHost();
ctrlHost.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
ElementHost.EnableModelessKeyboardInterop(MyWPFInstance );
ctrlHost.Child = MyWPFInstance ;
this.Controls.Add(ctrlHost);
Is it possible or am I missing something? The entire exception is as below,
System.InvalidOperationException: Window must be the root of the tree. Cannot add Window as a child of Visual.
