WPF Web Browser Control - c#

we are using
System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser
in my wpf application but that control is placed topmost(which is know for it), which leads to awkward UI.
in alternative to that we have used
System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser
the ui issue has been resolved. But it din't full fill the necessary functionality.
We need to copy a web page content into our wpf control without losing any format and it should highlight all links. In particular, we have to open a ie process with the link clicked.
Is there any wpf control for above requirement..

Calling a control from 3rd Party DLL

I am using a control from a dll in my html page as
<object id="ATT" width="100%" height="100%"
classid="CLSID:E20EC898-E4EE-4A20-A5A5-E10144FDC6BA"
codebase="AvtechMediaControl.cab#version=1,1,7,6" VIEWASTEXT>
</object>
But I want to access the same into my WPF application.
When I try to choose the DLL in the toolbox, i get the following error,
“The following controls were successfully added to the toolbox but are not enabled in the active designer”
I need a way to add it into my WPF project. I do not want to go with the webbrowser control.
ActiveX controls cannot be directly added to a WPF view, but then can be hosted inside of Windows Form control. And WPF can host WinForms controls. Microsoft has a walk through describing the process.
The short description of this is that you'll add a WindowsFormHost to you XAML view. The MSDN walk though shows this being done in the code behind, but the WindowsFormHost can be added in the XAML. Then you'll set the Child of the WindowsFormHost to the ActiveX control. This will have to be done in the code behind as there is no support for adding ActiveX controls in the XAML editor.
You also need to be aware of the behavior of a hosted control in WPF. No WPF content can overlap the hosted control. The hosted control will always draw over top of your WPF content.

What is the best control for rendering HTML content in WPF

My objective is to show the HTML content with style in my WPF application. I am getting a HTML content as response from a API. I need to show the content in a frame ( preferably textblock). I tried with webbrowser control of wpf where I faced many issues on formatting over the grid and I am not able to show transparent background for webbrowser control. I found the issue is due to this.
Sample HTML content :
<p>My <b>para<b></p><ul> <li>My list1</li> <li>My list2</li></ul>
I researched over the internet and found some control for wpf.
Awesomium
WPF Chromium
I am newbie to WPF C# and I don't have idea about how to use the controls in my wpf application. I tried with some sample application from here and here. However, It showing lot of error due to reference missing.
Also I tried with HtmltoXaml converter and WPF Rich box and found that it skips many of the content after rendering.
It would be really helpful for me if I get a simple sample wpf application working without error implemented with above mentioned controls or links that are useful.
Any new idea to overcome my issue also appreciated. Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.
If you need a html5 rendering browser, I'd recommend CEFSharp. It's nugettable, stable and is synced with the latest Chromium code.

Transparent Content in Webbrowser

My task is to show HTML content with half-transparent elements in WPF app. Transparency should go through Webbrowser and window. Webbrowser should not be half-transparent itself.
So i need a HTML content, and i need to see desktop through it.
Is there any way to do something like that?
Thank you.
P.S.: Sorry for my English.
Awesomium and Awesomium.NET is an HTML UI Engine that supports just that.
Check the WPF WebControl. You can set WebControl.IsTransparent to true, and load some content with say body { background-color: transparent; } (you can even specify a custom CSS to be applied to all loaded pages, using WebSession).
This isn't currently possible; this is due to the way that the Web Browser control is rendered. It isn't really a true WPF control but a WPF wrapper around a COM component. This limits the functionality available and also causes other problems, such as the lack of ability to float WPF controls over the top of it.
I believe there is a new WebView control coming for Windows 8.1 apps (demoed at Build 2013). This may provide more flexibility, although I'm not sure if this is a Windows 8.1 app thing or whether it will also be available to WPF apps as part of .NET 4.5.1.
The WPF Web Browser control is technically a wrapped WinForms WebBrowser Control, so it is rendered in the WinForms layer, which is always above the WPF layer.you can use Awesomium.NET Browser instead IE Browser or convert your Html code to Xmal code and show in Flow Document control.WPF Flow Document For Beginners

How Disable Styles & Images Of webBrowser Control (Windows App) Before Loading?

I Want To Disable Styles & Images Of webBrowser Control (in a Windows Applications) Before Loading?
mean i do n't want any style or image of a web site inside web browser's control.
Because Of More Speed
how can i disable them?
is there any property for do that?
thanks in advance
I don't think this is standard functionality of the bundled WebBrowser control.
This previous SO question about disabling images in a WebBrowser control suggests using this replacement WebBrowser control which provides the image disabling features you require.
This site provides the source code and a demo application. A comment on that site by ATS++ (Titled: Re:HOWTO Encorporate this into my own project.) shows how to use as a standalone WebBrowser control replacement.
But I haven't used it personally, so I am unable to provide any further details on it's workings.

how to drag and drop a browser control in the screen in wp7

I am developing an application where I need to drag and drop a browser in my wp7 screen.So
can any body tel me how can we drag and drop a web browser control in a wp7 screen
Code Examples will do good to me
Thank You
Just declare a web browser control in XAML. Designer drag-drop functionality is not the best approach if you are arranging controls on any container, other then Canvas.
Usage would be like this;
<StackPanel>
<WebBrowser .../>
</StackPanel>
If you are talking about allowing the user to be able to drag the control within the running app then you can't do this with the control directly and still allow touch manipulation of the content. You could do this by putting a transparent control over the top of the WebBrowser and making that draggable and duplicating the movements of this transparent control to update the WebBrowser's position.
Such behaviour in an app would likely be very unusual and I'd recommend testing such interaction with users thoroughly and also exploring other ways of achieving the same result.
The easiest way to handle drag and drop in the Web Browser control is to handle the Navigate event. You can also capture drop operations inside of the the actual HTML document using window.ondrop but if you need to capture full filenames the Navigate event on the control in the .NET host application is your best bet.
For more detail on how this work take a look at this blog post:
