hi fellows,
my question is quite generic in nature I am looking for the way to create a common control that I want to use in MFC, Winforms and WPF application I need something like a pop down menu to show some options.
I look for global hook using win32 that allow place control on top of other application, but that's not good. I know using interop we are able to show winform control in MFC and WPF but is there any other easy solution available.

I think is no option other than creating COM control ( Create a Win32 dll type control from MFC)?

There is a way using Interfaces, and loading assemblies at run-time, but it is complex, and I strongly suggest you don't go down that road, but, instead create separate UserControls for WinForms and WPF. MFC I am not familiar with.
