I have a habit of getting real excited about ish and end up showing off things that are not finished. A handful of people where curious about how I got a win32 control to composite into WPF. I spent a couple hours refactoring the source for some readability.
This will make it so you can put any Win32 control into WPF compositing engine. This means reflections, transformations and 3D! More work needs to be done to make it interactive while transformations and 3D are being used.
Please remember this is just proof of concept code that was slapped together. I am well aware of all the bugs in it! :).
Here's the code to download:

Re: Composited Win32 in WPF prototype source-code
I don't know if it's a bug, but it's a very wierd effect.
It seems that even if that app is behind a window, it grabs onto the mouse cursor, taking the capture away from the window on top.
For instance, while on this page, I have that app running in the background. If a certain part of the app is directly behind this comment box, I can't click in the comment box.

Re: Composited Win32 in WPF prototype source-code
Great Work! I used this part in combination with 3DTools and got great results, however I'm interested in getting rid of initial frame and viewing only result window on the screen. Are you still working on this? I'd like to help if you want...

Re: Composited Win32 in WPF prototype source-code
It was a little jerky for me, but for the cost of a couple more % CPU cycles I was able to get VERY smooth performance by not calling start on the rendering timer and instead adding the following code to the InitializeRendererTimer() method.
CompositionTarget.Rendering += new EventHandler(CompositionTarget_Rendering);
The CompositionTarget_Rendering method just calls RenderWinformControl(), and the result is exceptionally smooth scrolling. At least for me.
