Is there a Web Browser control for IE Edge for Visual Studio 2019

Question

I recently came across MS WebView2 which is said to embed IE Edge into Windows Form project in Visual Studio. But I found the component really difficult to use. I was wondering if I could anyhow use a Web Browser component in my Windows Form Project and use IE Edge as default browser engine instead of Internet Explorer in the Web Browser. I believe a Web Browser control is not yet released for IE Edge. Is there any in the pipeline?

Earlier I've tried to embed IE Edge into Java Swing application. But I didn't succeed. So I am looking for a Visual Studio option to do it.

Answer 1

No. There is no such thing as IE Edge. Internet Explorer (IE) is separate from Edge. WebView2 says nothing about Internet Explorer.

I assume that what you are actually asking is how to use WebView2 in Java. I suggest asking in a forum where Java is the specified subject.

Answer 2

But I found the component really difficult to use

What is "difficult" ?
There was WebView1 but WebView2 is now the official control for Edge

It is very simple to use :

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
    {  
        webView21.Source = new System.Uri("http://www.google.com", System.UriKind.Absolute);             
    }
