CADability dotNET

Using CADability in a WPF based application

CADability.CADControl is a Windows.Forms.Control which also can be used in a WPF based application. First you must add a reference to CADability in you application. Make sure all CADability DLLs (all DLLs in the CADability installation directory) are accessible to your application.
You must also add references to System.Windows.Forms and to WindowsFormsIntegration.
Now you have to modify the xaml file of your application: Add the following two namespaces to the properties of the "Window" element of the xaml file:
CopyXML
```
xmlns:wf="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
xmlns:cad="clr-namespace:CADability;assembly=CADability"
```

Add a WindowsFormsHost element to the Grid element in your xaml file.

CopyXML

<WindowsFormsHost HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="811" Height="583" Margin="12">
  <cad:CADControl x:Name="CADControl1" ShowMenu="False" ShowControlCenter="True" ShowToolBars="True" Dock="Fill" FrameCreated="CADControl_FrameCreated"></cad:CADControl>
</WindowsFormsHost>

Provide a name for the control (like x:Name="CADControl1" ) to be able to access it in your code.

Example

CopyXML

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication3.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:wf="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
        xmlns:cad="clr-namespace:CADability;assembly=CADability"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="646" Width="857">
  <Grid>
    <WindowsFormsHost HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="811" Height="583" Margin="12">
      <cad:CADControl x:Name="CADControl1" ShowMenu="False" ShowControlCenter="True" ShowToolBars="True" Dock="Fill" FrameCreated="CADControl_FrameCreated"></cad:CADControl>
    </WindowsFormsHost>
  </Grid>
</Window>
