WPF control and windows normal control

In a WinForms project there are a number of controls such as MenuStrip, OpenFileDialog, SaveFileDialog.

After a quick look, I can't seem to see the equivalents for these controls in the WPF toolbox.

Is there any way to gain access to these or do they exist in another form?

There are a number of different resources you can use for finding the type of control you need.

Have you looked in the WPF Toolkit?

Have you investigated any third party control vendors?

(Telerik, DevExpress, ComponentOne, Infragistics)


Here's an excellent link comparing the WinForms and WPF control equivalents.

You'd probably recieve a more detailed answer if you gave specifics as to which control you're looking for.

you can add a winforms host into the project but which controls are you after as the wpf does have a decent amount of controls and generally does more in the ui department (but pays in speed usually)
