Hi all,

A small doubt in C# WPF forms. I have a radio spectrum active X control in C# and VC++. I am able to call the component and reflect the data into C# Winforms, but while trying to get the ACTIVE-X component in WPF - I am unable to proceed further ...

My project is half developed in WPF. I can't switch over to C# Winforms now... please guide me to proceed with WPF using ACTIVE X components.

P.S.: Those ActiveX components are developed by our organisation only.

Awaiting your reply.

Regards,
KVS.

Solution 1

ActiveX is an antiquated technology that was mainly used for web applications. AFAIK it will not port or be usable in WPF.

Solution 2

You might be able to enclose them in a WinForms control, and then include the WinForms control in your WPF app, but that's highly theoretical. Maybe google can help answer that, or you can just be a programmer and try it out.

BTW, why would you want to ruin your app by using Active-Xcrement?

Hi,
Thanks for your message. I tried to do like that earlier .. but I stuck at calling the ACTIVE-X C# windows form in WPF MDI Parent form. It is not allowing / not giving help to continue with that. Still looking .. :-(
