Environment

Product Version2019.1.220
ProductRadWindow for WPF and Silverlight

Description

WindowsFormsHost is not displayed when set as the content of a RadWindow control.

Solution

To display the content of the WindowsFormsHost you need to make the RadWindow control non-transparent. This can be achieved by setting the attached WindowInteropHelper.AllowTransparency property to False.

C#
	public App()
	{
		var window = new MainWindow();
		RadWindowInteropHelper.SetAllowTransparency(window, false);
		window.Show();
	}
