OpenFileDialog not found in Visual Studio 2019 toolbox

Question

Hello, I created a wpf project in Visual Studio with IronPython. For some reason, I don't a OpenFileDialog in my toolbox, I even go to "Choose ToolBox Item" to see if I have it. Turns out I do have it but it still not appear in my toolbox after I put a check mark on it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

This feature is probably available in case of other kinds of projects (Windows Forms, for example). In WPF you can use the dialog programmatically. (Short example in C# and VB: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/wpf/app-development/dialog-boxes-overview). You can find some samples for IronPython too, but use Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog instead of System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog.
