Mahapps.Metro Flyout appearing behind Winforms chart

Question

I have been using MahApp.Metro for a few project now, and WinForms charts too, and also combined them. So nothing new on that front in this project, except :

The placement of the chart. And this is causing an issue where the Mahapps.Metro Flyout menu i have opens BEHIND the chart. See Screenshot.

Is there any way to solve this? i have searched a bit and found nothing. In CSS it would be a simple z-index setting... but in C# i have no idea.

Any help appreciated.

XAML as requested :

            </winformchart:Chart.ChartAreas>
        </winformchart:Chart>
    </WindowsFormsHost>
  </Grid>
</GroupBox>

Sure i'll include the XAML for that part, really is basic, and nothing out the ordinary, which is why i didn't bother at first. — Louis M., Mar 03 '16 at 15:42
Have a look at this. http://stackoverflow.com/q/9920480/1456174 — Kapitán Mlíko, Mar 03 '16 at 15:57
So can't be done and no workaround. That's ... unfortunate, since i need to completely rethink my entire design. But at least i know where i stand now so thx — Louis M., Mar 03 '16 at 16:18

That's a known issue when mixing WinForms and WPF and is not related to MahApps.Metro. Just search for Airspace here at StackOverflow.
