How to GetElementsByTagName WebView2 winForms ?

Question

Tia ;

With WebBrowser1 this works fine 
   var linkElements = this.WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("A");

But this doesn't work for webView2
   var linkElements = this.webView.Document.GetElementsByTagName("A");

Here is what I want to do
            foreach (HtmlElement link in linkElements)
            {
                if (link.GetAttribute("target") == "_blank")
                {
                    link.SetAttribute("target", "_self");
                }
            }

Pls , how should it be coded ?

Hello Vernon,

Thank you for taking time to post this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum.

I checked the class of WebView2 and found that WebView2 does not include a method which is equivalent to GetElementsByTagName() method to meet your requirement.

For your requirements, here is a similar issue: Coming from Webbrowser, Winforms DOM Document Access in WebView2… which may be helpful.

Sincerely,
Tianyu
