"The WPF Designer has been architected from the ground up to provide many
levels of reuse, from building blocks to reusing the designer itself, and
we foresee having this functionality in future versions of Visual Studio."

the answer sounds more like "probably in the future" as opposed to just
"no!"

You do know that the WPF Designer is under the control of the Visual Studio
IDE Group while the WinForms Designer is contained in the .NET framework.
I'll believe the IDE group likely will provide the WPF Designer to Borland
on the same schedule as they provided the CF Forms Designer. ;-)

That said, the Work Flow Designer is hostable, go figure ...
