How to use WinForms/WPF as ActiveX control?

Question

I would like to use WinForms/WPF controls as if they were ActiveX controls.

Specifically I would like to host these controls inside SAP Business One or it may be outside of SAP B1.

Is this possible at all? If yes, I would like to see some examples.

Thanks in advance,

Yes, it's possible. The machine running SAP Business One will still need the .NET framework, of course, but yes, you can expose your controls as ActiveX objects.

Have a look at this article: WPF Vista Gadgets using ActiveX. Referenced in that article is a sample WPF ActiveX control. That should get you started.

The second link is broken. – Guge Oct 08 '13 at 18:29
Seeing as how that article is 7 years old, you can't blame them. The original article has a busted link as well. – Judah Gabriel Himango Oct 08 '13 at 20:03
