Vista - WPF and MDI?

Hey,

Can we develop application that supports MDI or Document view
architecture using WPF?

I am looking forward to creating a child form for a parent Page/Window.


Fast response with some sample will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mahesh

WPF does not (and as far as I know will not) have "native" support for MDI
in its first release. Here are some links that discuss this:

(bottom line: there are better approaches that classic MDI, you could use
winforms interop)

Mahesh,

We have a WPF child windowing system called virtual desktop which was
developed to allow multiple windows in browser applications (XBAP).

Screenshot:

The source code will be part of the "Embed SDK" ($29) available
shortly.
