You need to add the
WindowsFormsIntegrationnamespace to your project. For more info, google "WPF Winforms integration". There are many good examples out there..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Well, I don't know what you want to do (and I don't really care), so you're going to have to come up with your own google phrase. The one I provided is merely a starting point. Besides that, if you're not actually co-mingling winforms controls on a WPF form (or the other way around), there really is no magic involved that I can think of. Just create the winforms form and be done with it.

It's very simple to read and very simple to understand (or do not make this kind of answer). This is a very specific problem and google will not help. And abhinav the WindowsFormsIntegration.dll cannot help you for your problem. Just try to listen Application.Current.Activated and Deactivated event to change the TopMost value of the form. I guess it can be a good beginning...
Need help ? Ask me :)
