Display HTML pages in WPF application without WebBrowser

We have an application that transmits data responses over a radio in the form of an HTML page that is then displayed on a mobile device. The mobile application is beign rewritten in WPF.

We need to display this HTML page in an area of our UI. I have used the WebBrowser control and it displays the page fine. However, the WebBrowser gives you no ability to customize. I have two main stumbling blocks preventing us from using the WebBrowser control for our implementation.

We need to provide particular functionality on a right-click on the control. I cannot get the built in context menu of the WebBrowser control to not display.

We need to customize the scroll bars, which you cannot do with the WebBrowser. We deploy on touch screen devices, so thoroughout our appplicaiton we have fatter scroll bars and additional features for scrolling that the WebBrowser control doesn't allow for.

I'd like to find an alternative.

There is a project/product call Awesomium, which is based on Chromium/WebKit. It is a commercial product, which used to be open-source.

For .NET/WPF it uses the AwesomiumSharp wrapper.
