Using FlowChart .NET in WPF application -

Hello,

we would like to integrate diagramming functionality in our WPF client. This WPF client is to substitute our legacy C++ client where we use FlowChartX.
Now we basically have 2 options:
a) Use WPF version of FlowChart
b) Use FlowChart .NET (5.0)

a) Unfortunately we have a very strict release plan and thus using the WPF version of FlowChart that is currently being developed is not entirely "free of risks".

b) So we are thinking of using FlowChart.NET in our client and migrate to the WPF version later when a stable and complete WPF version is available.

My question is now: does anybody have any hands-on experience with integrating FlowChart.NET in a WPF application? Did it work well? Were there any bigger problems?

Thanks for your answers,
Michael

In the meantime we almost completed our implementation using FlowChart.NET 4.3.1 in our WPF application.

Basically we needed to host FlowChart inside a WindowsFormsHost from the System.Windows.Forms.Integration namespace.

It works like a charm. Sure we had to implement a few extra things to bridge the gap between WPF application and the WinForms FlowChart. E. g. we have a zoom slider in our application for zooming the content of a tab control. Normally we would use a ScaleTransform on the content. But in the case of a FlowChart instance being the content we had to provide an event to which our diagramming code could subscribe and change the FlowChart ZoomFactor accordingly.

Bottom line: We were very pleased to see that integration of FlowChart.NET in our WPF application was this painless.
