Displaying WPF window ontop of directX game

Question

I know that this question was asked before but i dont know if its me or this question was not answered properly, maybe because im new to programming... anyways i'm creating this application where i'm suppose to display a WPF window over directX games, the window will display normal data like a list or something. can anyone help me by guiding or even posting the code?

Typically, you'd go the other direction: display a DX window / control inside of the WPF application. — 3Dave, Aug 15 '15 at 12:20

SwapChainBackgroundPanel is a XAML element for developing full-screen, primarily DirectX-focused apps. Unlike SurfaceImageSource and VirtualSurfaceImageSource, SwapChainBackgroundPanel is a XAML element rather than an ImageSource; it inherits from the XAML Grid layout panel and enables apps to create and fully control a full-screen DirectX swap chain, on top of which all other XAML content is overlaid
