I am tired of Windows Forms...I just am. I am not trying to start a debate on it I am just bored with it. Unfortunately we have become dependent on 4 controls in DevExpress XtraEditors. I have had nothing but difficulties with them and I want to move on.

What I need now is what the closet replacement would be for the 4 controls I am using. Here they are:

LookUpEdit - this is a dropdown that filters the dropdown list as you type.

MemoExEdit - this is a textbox that 'pops up' a bigger area when it has focus

CheckedComboBoxEdit - this is a dropdown of checkboxes.

CheckedListBoxControl - this is a nicely columned list box of checkboxes

This is a LOB app that has tons of data entry. In reality, the first two are nice but not essential. The second two are essential in that I would either need to replicate the functionality or change the way the users are interacting with that particular data.

I am looking for help in replicating these in a WPF environment with existing controls(codeplex etc) or in straight XAML. Any code or direction would be greatly appreciated but mostly I am hoping to avoid any commercial 3rd party WPF and would instead like to focus on building them myself(but I need direction) or using Codeplex
