Thanks for replying, but I think you may misunderstand me: I'm trying to use a custom element, whose resources are normally in the Application object, not insert the application itself into the ElementHost.

Fortunately, I've found an answer:

Short version:

• Set build action for App.xaml to Page
• In the code behind for App.xaml create a default constructor that just calls InitializeComponent()
• When the WinForms app starts up, just create an instance of the App class.

And then it's all good: my WPF control appears as it should.

Now, why is it I only find the answer after I've posted to StackOverflow?

Thanks again,
