WPF with Skyline Globe

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Is it possible to build a WPF application with Skyline Globe since the latter can only be embeded as an ActiveX control?
if yes, can anybody share any experience in developping such application?

I really appreciate that.

	To add TerraExplorer activex to a wpf application do the following: Add a regular window form, UserControl class (for example MyCtrl). In the UserControl from designer add the TerraExplorer activex control. In the WPF page add a tag: <WindowsFormsHost> for this example I will use <WindowsFromsHost Name="_host"/> In the code part of the WPF you can now set the WindowsFromsHost element child as the UserControl using following api: _host.Child=new MyCtrl()

	Sorry I'm pulling up an old thread, but has anyone had success implementing the Skyline Controls in WPF as stated above? I am concerned about performance drawbacks or if it is negligible. -Rick

	see explanation below. You can create a user control that contains the ActiveX. Than you should add the user control to wpf's windowform container. From there it works perfectly. If you are working with TE5.x you might need to add a SetParam(7000,2) at initialization.
