How to place winform chart control in WPF view?
I am trying to use winforms charts which have a lot of chart controls, but I am unable to use those controls in the wpf view. I have axml code:
<Window x:Class="WPFCharts.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:charts="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Charting;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit"
Title="MainWindow" Height="440.789" Width="863.158" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<Grid Name="grdgraficos">
<TabControl VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<TabItem Header="WPF Controls">
<Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5">
<charts:Chart Name="pieChart" Title="Pie Series Demo" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<charts:PieSeries DependentValuePath="y"
IndependentValuePath="campo" ItemsSource="{Binding}"
IsSelectionEnabled="True" />
</charts:Chart>
</Grid>
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="WinForms Controls">
<Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5">
<WindowsFormsHost Name="wfhGraficoWinForm" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" />
</Grid>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
</Grid>
</Window>
And I have this code. By the time this is the first solution, in the future I will use the MVVM pattern:
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart miGraficoWF = new System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart();
System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Series miSerieWF = new System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Series();
miSerieWF.ChartType = System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.SeriesChartType.Bar;
miGraficoWF.Series.Clear();
miGraficoWF.Series.Add(miSerieWF);
miSerieWF.Points.AddY(2);
miSerieWF.Points.AddY(5);
miSerieWF.Points.AddY(1);
wfhGraficoWinForm.Child = miGraficoWF;
}
However, the control is not displayed.
If I create a winform project and use the same code, the graph is displayed, so I believe the code that creates the chart is correct, and the problem is that I don't know how to show the winform control in a wpf view.
Thank.
