Adding Custom Windows Controls on WPF User Control

I have a WinForms User Control (a toolbar) which i would like to add on a WPF user Control, is there any way to do this?

like i want a WinForms User Control (the toolbar) along with other WPF Controls (datagrid) on a new WPF User Control

I saw a couple of samples that show Windows Forms hosted in a WPF Control. But that is not what i want to see.

You can check out my answer to a similar question here:

This will also show you how to fix a tabbing issue with windows controls that are sitting inside wpf views.

This is pretty easy to pull off. There is a handy little thing known as WindowsFormHost all you have to do is declare it in your control's XAML, and nest your forms control inside of it, like so:

<UserControl>
...
<Grid>
  <WindowsFormsHost>
    <forms:MyFormsToolbarControl/>
  </WindowsFormHost>
</Grid>

...

WindowsFormHost lives inside of the normal WPF toolbox so it shouldn't be hard to locate. Meanwhile there is an example of how to produce the equivalent XAML in code at this location...
