Is there any control in WPF which can host a WPF window? If not now, are
there any plans to improve WPF to implement window hosting.
Related question: is it not possible to build a MDI application in WPF.

If there is a WPF newsgroup, please direct me there.

Thanks,
Dean S

Thanks for the links, I read them thoroughly.

However, I am not looking for a "hybird" WPF/WinForm solution, but rather a
pure WPF solution.

I want to host a WPF window inside another WPF window. I want to host a WPF
window as a "control" in a WPF window, much like a button is hosted in a WPF
window. This may not be possible today in WPF, but that is what I am trying
to determine.

I do this all the time in Windows Forms. Without this capability, WPF is
mostly useless to me.
