I'm trying to integrate a new WPF control into an existing WinForms application and I'm using an ElementHost(Dock-Fill) to host the following XAML UserControl. (.NET 4)
When I set the WinForm to Maximised my entire operating system crashes. I have updated to the latest NVidia Drivers for my video card, but I still end up with a BlueScreen in nvlddmkm.sys. I have searched around for others that are experiencing crashes like this, but haven't found anything other than "update video card drivers".
The CustomerOrderReadyControl specified in the UserControl is in C#, but given it's just a basic UserControl that displays the Message I haven't included it, but if you think I should, please specify in the comments.
Is there a setting that I am missing that could be causing my Application to be causing the Machine to bluescreen when I maximise the Form? Are there any other ways that I could make this scenario work given that the existing application is very heavy GDI+ for the rendering of other parts of the application?
<UserControl x:Class="WPFDisplay.CustomerOrderDisplayControl"

<Grid Name="mainGrid">

<my:CustomerOrderReadyControl Grid.Row="0" x:Name="customerOrderReadyControl1"
Message="The Message" />
<Image Margin="0,0,6,7" Name="displayLogo" Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="302" Height="107" Stretch="None" IsHitTestVisible="False" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
The InitializeComponent sub in my WinForms is really this simple.
Private Sub InitializeComponent()
Me.ElementHost1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Integration.ElementHost()
Me.CustomerOrderDisplayControl1 = New WPFDisplay.CustomerOrderDisplayControl()
Me.SuspendLayout()
'
'ElementHost1
'
Me.ElementHost1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill
Me.ElementHost1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, 0)
Me.ElementHost1.Name = "ElementHost1"
Me.ElementHost1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(1058, 617)
Me.ElementHost1.TabIndex = 0
Me.ElementHost1.Text = "ElementHost1"
Me.ElementHost1.Child = Me.CustomerOrderDisplayControl1
'
'CustomerOrderDisplayForm
'
Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.SizeF(6.0!, 13.0!)
Me.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font
Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(1058, 617)
Me.Controls.Add(Me.ElementHost1)
Me.Name = "CustomerOrderDisplayForm"
Me.Text = "CustomerOrderDisplayForm"
Me.ResumeLayout(False)
End Sub
EDIT: Additional info.. If I host this control in a Pure WPF application and maximise the WPF Form, then it all works fine.
