XAML Object Element Usage
<InlineUIContainer>
  Child
</InlineUIContainer>

A UIElement element (i.e. a Button) may be embedded directly in flow content by enclosing it in a InlineUIContainer (see example below).

An InlineUIContainer may directly host no more than one UIElement child. However, the child element hosted by an InlineUIContainer may host children of its own.

The following example shows how to use the InlineUIContainer elements to host UIElement elements within flow content.

XAML
<FlowDocument ColumnWidth="400">
  <Paragraph Background="GhostWhite">
    <Run>
      A UIElement element may be embedded directly in flow content
      by enclosing it in an InlineUIContainer element.
    </Run>
    <LineBreak/>
    <LineBreak/>
    <InlineUIContainer>
      <Button>Click me!</Button>
    </InlineUIContainer>
    <LineBreak/>
    <LineBreak/>
    <Run>
      The InlineUIContainer element may host no more than one top-level
      UIElement.  However, other UIElements may be nested within the
      UIElement contained by an InlineUIContainer element.  For example,
      a StackPanel can be used to host multiple UIElement elements within
      an InlineUIContainer element.
    </Run>
    <InlineUIContainer>
      <StackPanel>
        <Label Foreground="Blue">Choose a value:</Label>
        <ComboBox>
          <ComboBoxItem IsSelected="True">a</ComboBoxItem>
          <ComboBoxItem>b</ComboBoxItem>
          <ComboBoxItem>c</ComboBoxItem>
        </ComboBox>
        <Label Foreground ="Red">Choose a value:</Label>
        <StackPanel>
          <RadioButton>x</RadioButton>
          <RadioButton>y</RadioButton>
          <RadioButton>z</RadioButton>
        </StackPanel>
        <Label>Enter a value:</Label>
        <TextBox>
          A text editor embedded in flow content.
        </TextBox>
      </StackPanel>
    </InlineUIContainer>
  </Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>

The following figure shows how this example renders.
