    Resolved [RESOLVED] WPF and control suites

    I have Control Suites like Janus, and that I believe is for WinForms. Now, can I still use them for WPF or should I wait for versions that will work with it?

    They will not work out of the box but you can "host" windows controls in WPF.

    Also, looking at it the other way around you can also host WPF controls/features within existing winforms projects. Obviously you cannot do things like animate existing winforms controls etc but just thought I'd mention it in case thats a better option for you.

    That is true and a good way to dip your feet in WPF! To be honest I doubt it will be long before Janus gets a WPF option.

    Cool, also you may find that as people learn styles more it may be a better alternative to paid for controls!

    Re: [RESOLVED] WPF and control suites

    I was thinking that exact same thing the other day when I was making my own control in WPF. I think if WPF takes off then people making a lot of money from developing custom controls are going to have to start getting more creative and generally improve the products they provide
