WebView2 Extender Update

[JTaylor]

I got to wondering if I could create an Extender and a registerable COM DLL in the same file.  Turns out I can.   You can now use the wbOmniWV2.dll as an Extender or register it via regsvr32 and use it with any environment that allows you to do something like 

     db = ObjectCreate("WV2.BrowserObject")

at least I am making that assumption.   Haven't tried very many :-)

You could make your extender self-registering. We have done that with one or two of our nonpublic extenders.

I will have to look into this option.  Thanks.

Also, in case anyone doesn't know, this Extender allows you to embed a WebBrowser into a dialog.  You can also skip the embedding option as well.  It can be visible or not, in case you want browsing without the browser taking up space, nice for quiet scraping. It also allows for DOM access and HTML, XML and JSON parsing.
