Yes, you can either host a System.Windows.Forms control in WPF window or host a WPF control in a form, but I would not advise to go any of these ways unless it is badly needed; this interoperability is extremely complex, due to very different nature of these libraries. It would be enough to say that WPF has little to do with Windows API; it is based on DirectX, its control don't use Windows message pumping and cannot directly interact with HWNDs…

You can find all the information if you start here:
