AxMSComctlib and MSComctlLib Evolution

Hello, thanks for reading!

I am upgrading a old app from Vb6 to VB.net (WPF application), and I would like to know what became the AxMSComctllib and MScomctlLib, did they had an upgrade and changed name? did they got integrated in another wider library? did them features were implemented in .net native features and so these libraries got deleted?

To give some context, the app i am upgrading is using the AxListView (and other graphic element) from the AxMSComctllib and ListItem from MSComctlLib and i wonder if it's similar to the ListItem object and the ListView object from WPF or if assuming so would bring problems later on

Thanks for reading

    ListView/ListItem is the ListView Common Control , which is Winforms system.windows.forms.listview, different from WPF system.windows.controls.listview

    Hello, thanks for answering,
    Then I will study how to use the system.windows.forms objects and try to replace my AxMSComctllib and MScomctlLib elements with those :)
