WPF ViewControl Error

Anonymous — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 09:58:31 GMT

Hi,

I'm brand new to NavisWorks development and I'm having an issue getting the ViewControl to work in a WPF application. I've tried to use the sample app in the SDK and also build my own from scratch. Both give the following error:-

The name "ViewControl" does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Controls;assembly=Autodesk.Navisworks.Controls".

I'm using Windows 10 64 bit with the anniversary update and the 2017 version of the SDK.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

I guess you hit a the related issue that is mentioned in the other post, i.e. Viewer control in release 2017 cannot work. The issue has been addressed and a fix would be probably available with SP1.

In another word, it should not be a problem with WPF, but Viewer control itself.

hi please Try this:

use in xml code :

and in c# code:

after

var viewControl = new Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Controls.ViewControl();
viewControl.Name = "viewControl";
viewControl.Dock= System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
mFormsHost.Child = viewControl;
viewControl.DocumentControl = " your Document for example oDoc"
