Custom UI Elements: WinForms, WPF, and...

I am just now beginning a plugin project that will be built on acad24. Initially I will be focusing on a custom palette element, but I will also eventually include custom dialog windows with my plugin. I just want to confirm that my current understanding of the UI customization support within acad24 is correct before I start developing these UI elements. Currently, it seems that all that we have to choose from is using Windows Forms or WPF for the development of custom UI elements like palettes and dialog windows within AutoCAD .NET. Is this correct?

Yes, you can either use Windows Forms or WPF.

You can see this little tutorial.
