A WindowsFormsHost cannot be rotated. To suppress this error, handle the LayoutError event and set ThrowException to false

Question

I have VLC ActiveX Plugin control inside of WPF.

<Grid> 
    <WindowsFormsHost  HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" Visibility="Hidden"   Name="windowsFormsHost1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ClipToBounds="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="True"  /> 
 </Grid> 

And when I try to apply some animation I am facing this error:

A WindowsFormsHost cannot be rotated. To suppress this error, handle the LayoutError event and set ThrowException to false. 

Any clue how we can fix it?

Answer 1

That error is pretty straight forward. You simply can't rotate or resize WinFormsHost controls. See here.
