I have to create x64 wpf app with webbrowser included, the app should rotate/scale to face all four edges of the touch capable screen that will be built into the table. Suggest me some alternatives to native wpf web browser control. tutorials much appreciated.
if you need to rotate things, Awesomium (as mentioned in #Noeratto's comment) is the only real game in town

We are developing a WinForm application. We have different resolution monitors when designing win form on low resolution and viewing on high resolution, the positions are changed and they appear merged. Could anyone suggest how to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance
We are using VS2102 For development. And Framework is 4.0
If you are starting with development on Windows Desktop you can also explore on WPF, it has a higher initial learning curve than WinForms, but is far more extensible.
If you are still going for WinForms, take a look at dynamically controlling the sizing from this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/6575311/5788393
For last 2 weeks we were developing a 3d application using Babylon js. When we tried to embed this app inside a WPF application using the WebBrowser control, we were not able to move the 3d object. We tried Chromium browser as well and there it was working fine but it was slow. Can anyone help me to get the solution?
This is because WPF uses a IE based WebView which does not support WebGL
So a lot, if not most of all Media Players have a "fullscreen" mode. My application has a WebBrowser control and also an embedded Windows Media Player control. Now the problem here is that the fullscreen mode is literal. It actually covers my whole screen.
Is it possible to somehow modify the behavior of my application so that all "fullscreen" modes only stretches to the bounds of my application. Basically only "fullsceens" inside my application?
Any hints or suggestions are welcome!
Only idea that I could come up with it somehow fool windows thinking that my application is a monitor. But maybe that's taking it too far?
No way, sir.
"Full screen" is "full screen" and it is managed by OS to cover all the screen.
If you need to adapt the video size based on parameter you can't work on full screen.
I want to use a trackball in my C# .NET application. But I do not want the trackball to be used by Windows as a mouse. When I connect both a trackball and a mouse the are both given control of the cursor.
So there are essentially two questions:
How can the trackball be removed/disabled/coaxed into giving up control of the cursor?
After doing this how can I access the trackball movement information from my C# .NET application.
Thank you!!
Ash
PS: I specifically want trackball support, but am hoping that joystick support will be similar as I may expand to this functionality in the future. Since the joystick does not default to having control of the cursor I can see how this may be different...perhaps easier?
I would think you need to install a special driver that would not identify the mouse as a mouse, but as an input device that streams the movement.
The windows driver kit might help. It says they have a HID device example.
I highly recommend Edward Tse's SDG Toolkit (Single Desktop Groupware Toolkit). I used it several years ago for an application that required multiple mice and monitors.

Well i am developing an application whose interface requires an animated slide show
and by animated slide show i means UI components placed together change their positions after regular intervals in a sliding (animated) fashion. Let me illustrate my idea with the following image,
(source: deviantart.com)
in the image above there are three columns of UI components that i want to slide, what i could do is simply write a module to change x,y coordinates of the components that would give the animated slide effect but that does not work fine, because it is heave takes time in processing and all plus the coding will be complex and layer adjustment and all.
is there any slide show component on which instead of image i can place UI components
What are the other options i have or what is the right way to do it. Please need help.
Sounds like are looking for a carousel feature for you component. Winforms were not intended to be animated. Fortunately some companies have worked on products that support animaiton in this area but most are moving to the Silverlight and WPF platforms for those updated features. As a reader of MSDN Magazine I often come accross some interesting advertisements of Winform components that are quite interesting. Please take a look at this link. The cost of the product is quite high.
Telerik Sample Applications using Carousel feature in Win Forms
Also check out the following link to MSDN. It explains how you can reference the silverlight component as a COM object.

In this scenerio it could also be possible to embed a flash player with a flash animation, using one of the many (commercial and free) xml-based slideshows avaible for flash. This one for example http://www.flshow.net/.
