GLWpfControl

A native control for WPF in OpenTK.

(Probably) faster than GLControl, and solves the airspace problem.

Getting started:

1. Install via NuGet

2. In your window, include GLWpfControl.

       <Window 
           ...
           xmlns:glWpfControl="clr-namespace:OpenTK.Wpf;assembly=GLWpfControl"
           ... >    

3. Add the control into a container (Grid, StackPanel, etc.) and add a handler dethod to the render event.

       <Grid>
           ...
           <glWpfControl:GLWpfControl 
               x:Name="OpenTkControl" 
               Render="OpenTkControl_OnRender"/>
           ...
       </Grid>

4. In the code behind add to the constructor, after the InitializeComponents call, a call to the start method of the GLWpfControl.

   public MainWindow() {
           InitializeComponent();
           // [...]
           var settings = new GLWpfControlSettings
           {
               MajorVersion = 3,
               MinorVersion = 6
           };
           OpenTkControl.Start(settings);
   }

5. You can now render in the OnRender handler.

   private void OpenTkControl_OnRender(TimeSpan delta) {
       GL.ClearColor(Color4.Blue);
       GL.Clear(ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit);
   }

For additional examples, see MainWindow.xaml and MainWindow.xaml.cs in the example project.
