Missing features

While XPF makes a best attempt to implement all WPF APIs, there are still some places where this is difficult or impossible.

The following features are available, but with limitations:

  • FlowDocument
    • Paginated documents are not supported
    • PageHeader/PageFooter are not supported
    • Floater is not supported
    • There are some limitations on tables such as row/column spans not being supported

The following features will be available later but require significant engineering effort:

  • WebBrowser
  • Viewport3D and related 3D APIs

The following features are unlikely to be supported due to platform restrictions:

  • Multiple UI threads (multiple Dispatcher instances)
  • HwndHost / HwndSource
  • XPS - this relies on a Windows operating system component
