WebBrowser Control not displaying

[Grimes]

Hi I am having trouble displaying a WebBrowser control in my WPF application. The control seems to be invisible. The WebBrowser is on my main form. The main form has a non rectangular shape, so it basically is a PNG image I use as the background, which also has a alpha channel. To enable the alpha channel I had to set the 'AllowsTransparent' property to true, but when I do this the WebBrowser Control turns invisible. I can see that it is only invisible since the mouse pointer still changes when I move my mouse over it, but the control it self is invisible. I have changed some settings and I have seen that this is definitely caused by the 'AllowsTransparent' setting. I don't want to change this setting since turning it off removes the alpha channel from my PNG background. Any help or ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated. Maybe there is another way to use the alpha channel or some other WebBrowser control. thanks in advance

After searching the web, I found a way to fix this. I just thought that I need to add it here to maybe help the next guy (or gal). The solution I found best is to use a wrapper around the WebBrowser control. Here is an example webbrowser-control-on-transparent-wpf-window There were other possible solutions but they either did not work or had bugs. here is a link to one of them: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/17fc75f6-db97-43ef-8ce5-f1aecaa15f86
