I’m trying to use google maps in my wpf c# project, I’ve installed Adobe Flash player but cannot for the life of me find the shockwave player object reference or when I add a new item in the toolbox find in, both in the COM lists.
I’ve searched everywhere for a answer and have got nothing.
Any ideas?
Problem SOlved!! had to download and install flash using internet explorer 😀
Shockwave player is different than Flash player. You need to install the Shockwave Player.
Update
According to this very detailed, step-by-step guide for hosting Google Maps in a WPF application, you cannot directly use Shockwave in a WPF application since WPF can’t host ActiveX controls.
However, you can create a Windows Forms app that contains the ActiveX control, then use the WindowsFormsHost control to host the Windows form in the WPF app.
Update 2
If flash or shockwave is installed by a browser other than IE, the OCX will not be installed in the system and thus will not be available in the project.
To resolve this, either run IE and install these items or go to this Adobe page and seleect the IE versions of the applications.
