wbOmniWV2 - Embedded Browser

[JTaylor]

I have created a way to embed WebView2 into a Dialog.  Hopefully Tony won't tell me this was already doable via the COM Control :)   Once I do a little more with this with my production stuff and give time for feedback, assuming anyone is interested in giving it a try, I will fold into the main wbOmnibus package.

In any event, it also has DOM access to the browser.  My goal was to have a replacement for Internet Explorer as I used that a lot, and I am reasonably pleased with the results.  The "Test DOM" button only works on the Amazon page to which it browses or, I guess, some other book page on Amazon.

Please read the Help.  It is under the "WebView" section.   There are some quirks.  I included the executable for the demo script due to one of the quirks but, of course, it is always wise to compile your own.

Also, it might be a little slow the first time your run it as WebView2 creates some support structures.

Jim graciously allowed me to test privately. It is worth the look.

I also intended to mention that I am not sure how forgiving the DOM access is regarding poorly formed HTML.  If you have problems you might check that possibility first.


Thanks Stan.  It is a lot prettier now :-)

Interesting. WebView2 is already on our to-do list. But since the list is long it hasn't been gotten to yet.

If you know how I could initialize WebView2 without having to compile a script, that would GREATLY appreciated.  Development/Testing is very annoying.

Also, if someone downloaded this earlier and you seem to be missing a file, I posted an update to correct that problem.

Sorry.

Jim, I'll take a discussion of this with you offline to avoid crowding this thread with tangents.
