In the following tutorial will be explained how create an View in Studio using Window Presentation Foundation. Complete code sample can be found here.

How to create a View in Studio

1. First step is to create a new project in Visual Studio using Trados Studio template.

2. Create a new user control

3. Create a new class which inherits AbstractViewController class. This class will be the entry point of the application.

Add the following annotation to newly created class :

Add the following code to the class:

How to use WPF in your plugin

The plugin template by default creates a Windows Forms project. That means the libraries which we need to use to create xaml views are not imported.

Add the flowing references to your plugin: PresentationFramework.dll, System.Xaml.dll, UIAutomationProvider.dll

After adding missing libraries we are ready to create user controls from Presentation Framework. Create a new User Control and name it for example MainViewControl.xaml.

What we have until now? A User Control which inherits from System.Windows.Forms and another one from Presentation Framework.

How to display the user control from Presentation Framework

If we take a look at GetControl() method from the class created before it returns a control from Windows Form. What we need to do is to display the WPF control inside of the Windows Forms control.

From Toolbox drag&drop an "ElementHost" to the user control from windows forms.(this element is found System.Windows.Forms.Integration).

Constructor of windows forms control should look like this:
