I personally don't know anyone who is using WinForms with MFC. I'm not sure
why. My "belief" is that WinForms will be less interesting when WinFX is
fully released and supported since the WPF will likely be more popular.
From what I know WinForms makes the same Windows as MFC so I can't imagine
anything be more or less possible.

We had some problems (I posted earlier about overlapping windows that may
be
transparent, draw order etc). Well we got the drawing working more or
less
but there is quite a bit of flicker.

I was curious if we switched to WinFroms if perhaps things might work
better. Our app is an unmanaged MFC app (we don't really use any of the
Doc/View support).

I've started reading and researching mixing of WinForms with MFC. I'm
curious if I replace the CView with CWinFormsView and then create child
windows of the type CWinFormsControl if this may help. But I'm not
finding
much info on this. I downloaded one sample app I found but really need
more
information.

Are many folks mixing MFC and Winforms? Any good links or info anyone
might
be able to point me towards?

What I would like is to use most of our existing code base, but now where
we
create all our child windows (for objects on our page), create Winforms
instead and use GDI+ for our drawing...

Thanks for any help

James
