Answer 1

Hi Advait,

Welcome to MSDN forum.

In case you haven't tried that, you can host a WindowsForms control in WPF. For more information please see WPF and Windows Forms Interoperation.

Have a nice day!

Hi Min,

 Not sure how the WindowsForms control is useful when I am trying to host something like a WebKit (Browser control) or GeckoFx kind of browser control...Can you please elaborate?

Answer 3

Hi Advait,

I might be missing something here but I thought WebKit.NET is a WindowsForms control library and maybe you would like to host its controls in WPF.

The point is that some of DLL used in the WebKit.NET must be registered on GAC to work on WPF, even if you're using WindowsFormHost.

The problem is some of those DLL can't be registered.

"The module "WebKit.Interop.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "WebKit.Interop.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."

I gonna keep investigating. I will post any progress here.
