As a short term solution I\'m trying to jam a windows form \'usercontrol\' into a WPF application. I see in the WPF application view that I can add a \'custom windows form

Add a reference to System.Windows.Forms and WindowsFormsIntegration to your Project

xmlns:WinForms="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
xmlns:WindowsFormsIntegration="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms.Integration;assembly=WindowsFormsIntegration"

And place Windows forms host in the window.

Now in C# code

using Forms = System.Windows.Forms;
.........................
Forms.FlowLayoutPanel flpPanel = this.wfhDate.Child as Forms.FlowLayoutPanel;
// Initialize your Forms contol here.
flpPanel.Controls.Add( yourControl );
