Solution 1

You need to use Winforms integration to make that work. Here's a link that might help.

If that doesn't help enough, google this phrase:

"activex control in wpf"

Thanks in advance,

Let's review. You said that John's advice did not help. Then you said you googled, and got the SAME advice John gave. You talk as if it was DIFFERENT advice, and say that also does not work. How can you have a 'project' when you've in the space of less than a day joined here, and asked three questions that are all very beginnerish ? I suggest if you're being paid for writing WPF code, you are a thief for taking their money. I suggest you need to learn some C# before you learn WPF, you need to learn to follow instructions, learn to assume that when everyone tells you something works and it doesn't for you, your own inexperience and inability are the problem, etc. You should also not push 'answer' to comment, see how I commented on your post instead of posting an answer, because I did not add to the answer to the question asked ?
