Calling Win32 APIs from WPF applications

Windows Presentation Foundation and Win32 interpolation can work as different approaches. You can either host a Win32 application in a WPF application, a WPF application in a Win32 application, or call a Win32 API from WPF by importing the specified system DLL. These are often useful when you have already invested a lot in Win32 applications and now you would like to build a rich WPF application by utilizing the existing code.

In this recipe, we will learn how to call a Win32 API from a WPF. We will use a simple example to launch a browser window and then activate/refresh the browser window from our WPF code.
