Global Mapper SDK WPF support

chhangk1

From what I've learned, GM SDK does not directly support WPF. Will it support WPF in the future ?

Hello,

There's no reason you can't use WPF. You just need to get a handle to the device context for the window to pass to the drawing functions of the GM SDK.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8656827/can-i-get-hdc-from-wpf-window-so-that-i-can-draw-to-it-with-gdi-api.

I hope that answers your question.

Yes. The GM SDK does not directly support WPF. However, there are neat tricks of using WPF with GlobalMapper and I have done it quite successfully in the past. You can use create a user control in WinForms and host it inside WPF using ElementHost.
