I am having problems when I am trying to host a XAML page in vista sidebar. The page loads fine in IE, but when I try to load it in vista sidebar, a black background is shown. When I move the mouse over a button placed on the XAML page, the black surface flickers and I can see the button through the flicker.
The XAML source (test.xaml):
<Page xmlns=" http://www.hide-link.com/ "
xmlns:x=" http://www.hide-link.com/ "
Title="Page1" Width="100">
<Button Height="50" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="50">foo</Button>
</Page>
The HTML source I am using for the gadget (HelloWorld.html):
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<style>
body {
width:130;
height:130;
padding:5;
margin:0;
background:white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe height="130"
width="130"
src="test.xaml" />
</body>
</html>
The gadget.xml file:
< xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" >
<gadget>
<name>Hello World!</name>
<namespace>Example.You</namespace>
<version>1.0</version>
<author name="Your Name">
<info url="www.example.com" />
</author>
<copyright>2006</copyright>
<description>My first gadget</description>
<hosts>
<host name="sidebar">
<base type="HTML" apiVersion="1.0.0" src="HelloWorld.html" />
<permissions>full</permissions>
<platform minPlatformVersion="0.3" />
</host>
</hosts>
</gadget>
Non-WPF gadgets work without problems. The html file loads fine in browser, the problem occurs only when I try to load it in the sidebar. The same with XBAP files instead of XAML.
