Currently in OE10 and OE 11, an ABL Form inherits from Progress.Windows.Form. Progress.Windows.Form inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Form (WinForm). It adds IForm properties (ProWinHandle, NextForm, PrevForm) to allow for some interoperability with the Progress Windowing system. We want to use more WPF Forms instead of WinForm. WPF Forms/usercontrols are more modern .net forms and provide us the capabilities to have a much more modern and better architected user interface using things like the MVVM design pattern. While we use and still use visual studio tools in .net to design WPF user controls, we currently host them in a dotnet ElementHost winform control on a Progress ABL Form. It would be nice to get rid of this ElementHost winform layer and have a native WPF framework. We are _not_ looking at a design enhancement for WPF. We are just looking for something like Progress.Windows.WPFForm.
