Hosting a Win32 HWND in WPF Sample
[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
This sample shows how to put an hwnd inside a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application.
This sample demonstrates a specific feature of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and, consequently, does not follow application development best practices. For comprehensive coverage of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft .NET Framework application development best practices, refer to the following as appropriate:

Building the Sample
Install the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) and open its build environment command window. On the Start menu, point to All Programs, Microsoft Windows SDK, and then click CMD Shell.
Download the sample, usually from the software development kit (SDK) documentation, to your hard disk drive.
To build the sample from the build environment command window, go to the source directory of the sample. At the command prompt, type MSBUILD. This will build the solution file, which references project files in two subdirectories.
To build the sample in Microsoft Visual Studio, load the sample solution or project file and then press CTRL+SHIFT+B. You may need to deliberately target WPFApplication1.exe as the executable to run during the debug session, which is done through project settings dialogs.
Running the Sample
To run the sample from the build environment command window, execute the WPFApplication1.exe file in the Bin\Debug folder contained in the WPFApplication1 source subdirectory.
To run the compiled sample with debugging in Visual Studio, press F5. You may need to deliberately target WPFApplication1.exe as the executable to run during the debug session, which is done through project settings dialogs.
