I know that I must use an ElementHost
to display a WPF control in a WinForm, but as the WPF control is third party software and it only comes with an XML file a
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.TextEditor textEditor = new ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.TextEditor();
textEditor.ShowLineNumbers = true;
textEditor.FontFamily = new System.Windows.Media.FontFamily("Consolas");
textEditor.FontSize = 12.75f;
string dir = @"C:\Temp\";
#if DEBUG
dir = @"C:\Dev\Sandbox\SharpDevelop-master\src\Libraries\AvalonEdit\ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit\Highlighting\Resources\";
#endif
if (File.Exists(dir + "CSharp-Mode.xshd"))
{
Stream xshd_stream = File.OpenRead(dir + "CSharp-Mode.xshd");
XmlTextReader xshd_reader = new XmlTextReader(xshd_stream);
// Apply the new syntax highlighting definition.
textEditor.SyntaxHighlighting = ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.Highlighting.Xshd.HighlightingLoader.Load(xshd_reader, ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.Highlighting.HighlightingManager.Instance);
xshd_reader.Close();
xshd_stream.Close();
}
//Host the WPF AvalonEdiot control in a Winform ElementHost control
ElementHost host = new ElementHost();
host.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
host.Child = textEditor;
this.Controls.Add(host);
}
