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

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.

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.
There are many applications out there that are displaying html content using XAML controls rather than displaying a web browser. Does anyone know if there is control used for this? If no control is available, what's the best way to do this?
I found this article but that seems to be overkill... Or is it?

I would like to keep the exact format of a web page (i.e. text, images, formatting, etc...) but I'd like if possible at all not use the web browser.
I have a pivot that requires 4 websites to be displayed but it would seem very heavy to create 4 web browser, not to mention I'd like to add different touch functionality that I'm struggling to do using the web browser.
I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
There is no XAML controls for windows phone, except WebBrowser Control (WebView in WP8.1), which can display HTML as it is.
Your article describes exactly what you have to do, to display HTML in some other XAML controls (RichTextBox for example).
You have to parse HTML to XAML format. You can use thrid party components for this (HTML agility Pack http://htmlagilitypack.codeplex.com/) or implement your own parsing.
Also, I don't think, that combining WebBrowser control with Pivot (or Panorama) is a good idea, because it just consumes to much memory and there could be problems with scrolling and touch interaction.
The simple path I think is to reconsider your navigation model and use webbrowser control to display HTML. Maybe you can provide one WebBrowser and 4 links on top to switch between souces.
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..
Is possible to make the .Net Webbrowser control render form elements, like buttons, input text, with winform elements appearance? Using the visual styles of OS to look like an native Windows application not an page displayed in IE?
It is not possible configure or to supply custom rendering for buttons and input controls in IE - without CSS you get what browser decided to use as default.
It is possible to style buttons/input elements with CSS pretty much whatever way you want.
I am not entirely sure what you want to get. Possible you can render the entire form as it is in the broswer. WPF let you embed winform in the browser:

It is not possible as #Alexei Levenkov Informed.
But I recommend you to have look over this link where the web browser is created with C#.
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.
