Hey ,
I'm currently working on a WPF application that is build upon the Smart client software factory.I'm using your xamribbon , editors and datagrid throughout the application.
I was wondering if there will be something like the infragistics Composite ui application block made available for the WPF infragistics.

Hello Greetz,
It is my understanding that NetAdvantage for WPF does not require an extensibility kit in order to work with CAB. There is MSDN documentation about the new extensions for CAB which support WPF:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480482.aspx
In order to use NetAdvantage for WPF with CAB (for WinForms) you will need to use a WPF layer:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc540739.aspx
NetAdvantage for WPF are standard WPF controls and should not require any extra support. Please let us know if you do find any problem using NetAdvantage with any of Microsoft's initiatives to support WPF with CAB.
Thank you
We recently upgraded to the latest version of CAB (April 2008) which support WPF enabling Windows Forms application and allows incremental inclusion of WPF UIElements.
We are having trouble getting this to work with NetAdvantage for WinForms + CAB.
A WPF enabled CAB application extends a new class named WPFFormShellApplication that extends Microsoft.Practices.CompositeUI.WinForms.FormShellApplication.
The IGFormShellApplication also extends FormShellApplication which creates the problem. Do you have an updated FormShell implementation IGWPFFormShellApplication (say) that solves this?
Or is there another solution?
Cheers.
I don't think you're asking about the same thing. If you want to use CAB then there are 2 projects included in the NCEK - one that includes all the original classes and the winforms application shells and another project which references the original winforms NCEK project and also includes a custom shell that includes the WPFControlSmartPartStrategy and the IPWFUIElementAdapter just as the MS CAB project's wpf shell does. You would use the latter.
What is the status of this? I am looking for a way to utilize WPF controls inside CAB in the same way as provided by the CAB Extensibility kit, but I use Infragistics workspaces from NCEK.
We have a working sample with the latest version of CAB. I will post a link to it here soon.
