I am developing an application using webview2. after set the source to new System.Uri("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/"+stocksymbol) the first time in the application run, there is a popup windows from yahoo requesting to logon.
the first thought I had to to find the proper element to close it but no id or name available for the relevant buttons.
@G. Gunn - fs, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, I noted that you have a string type variable called stocksymbol. How did you define it? Based my test, there is no popup window if I used the code webView21.Source = new Uri("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/");.
thank you for replying;
string stocksymbol="msft";
... from user input
stocksymbol=usrInptTbx.Text;
webView21.Source = new Uri("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/" + stocksymbol);
I have never login nor open finance.yahoo.com website on the pc.
@G. Gunn - fs, have you input some text in the textbox?
@Jack J Jun yes "msft"
@G. Gunn - fs, thanks for the feedback, based on my test, I reproduced the same problem with you. It is the design of the website. It seems that it is hard to stop it showing directly. However, I find that the pop window will disappear after you click on Maybe Later one time**.**
@G. Gunn - fs, It seems that there is no supported method in webview2 to stop it from displaying popup window. I recommend that you could request a feature in GitHub.

they use class names for everything. the popup is just on overlay. you could server for the div with class "YDC-Overlay", and remove or hide the div.
thanks to @Bruce (SqlWork.com)
it appears the overlay class "YDC-Overlay" appears only with navigatestring on first invocation and causes exception.
I changed the code to set webVu.Source to the yahooQot+stocksymbol.
Since I have trouble getting the html from webVu, the code uses reslt from webresponse to parse for what are needed.
Too bad webview2 does not have easy direct access to html. the webVu.Text tends to be null and maybe possible only on certain events. Complicated.
for now forego efficiency for simplicity and settle for additional features, acceptable performance and meet deadline.
