I am doing a project in C# where users may specify an equation and have the app solve it. I want to use the Math Input Panel for the user to specify the equation, but the problem is that I dont know how to render the equation in the WPF app after the user presses Insert, since normal textboxes and textblocks wont display it.
I have read up thoroughly on how I need to do this, but have come up short. I realize that I need my app to support MathML so that the equation can be displayed, but that’s just it… How do I make my app support MathML so that I can display it?!
So basically the user will see the equation that he has just written with the Math Input panel, and then I want to convert (behind the scenes) the equation to MathML so that I can write a parser to solve it.
Thanks in advance… I’m really desperate 😉
I just want to post my answer for clearity.
I read somewhere that you can display an equation using a browser control, but Internet Explorer doesn’t support MathML. For this reason, I tried to figure out if there was some kind of other browser control (like a firefox version) that i could use. After trying and failing at that, I stumbled upon MathPlayer from http://www.descci.com.
MathPlayer adds MathML support to IE en because of that, I was able to render equations in WPF using the browser control and style it using CSS.
