C#
// Declare the ElementHost variable ElementHost elementHost = null; // Wire up the Load event this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load); private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Create the ElementHost control elementHost = new ElementHost(); elementHost.AutoSize = true; elementHost.Size = panel1.Size; elementHost.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; panel1.Controls.Add(elementHost); PdfViewer wordEditor = new PdfViewer(); elementHost.Child = wordEditor; elementHost.Margin = new Padding(0, 0, 0, 0); elementHost.Region = new Region(); elementHost.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White; }
