Properties

AllowExternalDrop	The AllowExternalDrop property for the WebView. This property directly exposes AllowExternalDrop, see its documentation for more info. Getting this property before the CoreWebView2Controller has been initialized will retrieve the last value which was set to it, or true (the default) if none has been. The most recent value set to this property before CoreWebView2Controller has been initialized will be set on it after initialization.
CanGoBack	Returns true if the WebView can navigate to a previous page in the navigation history. Wrapper around the CanGoBack property of CoreWebView2. If CoreWebView2 isn't initialized yet then returns false.
CanGoForward	Returns true if the WebView can navigate to a next page in the navigation history. Wrapper around the CanGoForward property of CoreWebView2. If CoreWebView2 isn't initialized yet then returns false.
CoreWebView2	Accesses the complete functionality of the underlying CoreWebView2 COM API. Returns null until initialization has completed. See the WebView2 class documentation for an initialization overview.
CreationProperties	Gets or sets a bag of options which are used during initialization of the control's CoreWebView2. Setting this property will not work after initialization of the control's CoreWebView2 has started (the old value will be retained). See the WebView2 class documentation for an initialization overview.
DefaultBackgroundColor	The default background color for the WebView. This property directly exposes DefaultBackgroundColor, see its documentation for more info. Getting this property before the CoreWebView2Controller has been initialized will retrieve the last value which was set to it, or Color.White (the default) if none has been. The most recent value set to this property before CoreWebView2Controller has been initialized will be set on it after initialization.
DesignModeForegroundColor	The foreground color to be used in design mode.
Source	The top-level Uri which the WebView is currently displaying (or will display once initialization of its CoreWebView2 is finished). Generally speaking, getting this property is equivalent to getting the Source property and setting this property (to a different value) is equivalent to calling the Navigate(String) method.
ZoomFactor	The zoom factor for the WebView. This property directly exposes ZoomFactor, see its documentation for more info. Getting this property before the CoreWebView2 has been initialized will retrieve the last value which was set to it, or 1.0 (the default) if none has been. The most recent value set to this property before the CoreWebView2 has been initialized will be set on it after initialization.

Methods

BeginInit()	Implementation of the ISupportInitialize pattern. Prevents the control from implicitly initializing its CoreWebView2 until EndInit() is called. Does not prevent explicit initialization of the CoreWebView2 (i.e. EnsureCoreWebView2Async(CoreWebView2Environment, CoreWebView2ControllerOptions)). Mainly intended for use by interactive UI designers.
EndInit()	Implementation of the ISupportInitialize pattern. Invokes any functionality that has been delayed since the corresponding call to BeginInit(). Mainly intended for use by interactive UI designers.
EnsureCoreWebView2Async(CoreWebView2Environment, CoreWebView2ControllerOptions)	Explicitly triggers initialization of the control's CoreWebView2. See the WebView2 class documentation for an initialization overview.
EnsureCoreWebView2Async(CoreWebView2Environment)	Explicitly triggers initialization of the control's CoreWebView2. See the WebView2 class documentation for an initialization overview.
ExecuteScriptAsync(String)	Executes JavaScript code from the javaScript parameter in the current top level document rendered in the WebView. Equivalent to calling ExecuteScriptAsync(String).
Focus()	Attempts to set focus to the WebView2 Control. Equivalent to calling Focus(). Returns true if keyboard focus and logical focus were set to this element; false if only logical focus was set to this element, or if the call to this method did not force the focus to change.
GoBack()	Navigates the WebView to the previous page in the navigation history. Equivalent to calling GoBack() If CoreWebView2 hasn't been initialized yet then does nothing.
GoForward()	Navigates the WebView to the next page in the navigation history. Equivalent to calling GoForward(). If CoreWebView2 hasn't been initialized yet then does nothing.
NavigateToString(String)	Initiates a navigation to htmlContent as source HTML of a new document. Equivalent to calling NavigateToString(String).
Reload()	Reloads the current page. Equivalent to calling Reload().
Stop()	Stops all navigations and pending resource fetches. Equivalent to calling Stop().

Events

ContentLoading	A wrapper around the ContentLoading. The only difference between this event and ContentLoading is the first parameter that's passed to handlers. Handlers of this event will receive the WebView2 control, whereas handlers of ContentLoading will receive the CoreWebView2 instance.
CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted	This event is triggered either when the control's CoreWebView2 has finished being initialized (regardless of how initialization was triggered) but before it is used for anything, or if the initialization failed. You should handle this event if you need to perform one time setup operations on the CoreWebView2 which you want to affect all of its usages. (e.g. adding event handlers, configuring settings, installing document creation scripts, adding host objects). See the WebView2 class documentation for an initialization overview.
NavigationCompleted	A wrapper around the NavigationCompleted. The only difference between this event and NavigationCompleted is the first parameter that's passed to handlers. Handlers of this event will receive the WebView2 control, whereas handlers of NavigationCompleted will receive the CoreWebView2 instance.
NavigationStarting	A wrapper around the NavigationStarting. The only difference between this event and NavigationStarting is the first parameter that's passed to handlers. Handlers of this event will receive the WebView2 control, whereas handlers of NavigationStarting will receive the CoreWebView2 instance.
SourceChanged	A wrapper around the SourceChanged. The only difference between this event and SourceChanged is the first parameter that's passed to handlers. Handlers of this event will receive the WebView2 control, whereas handlers of SourceChanged will receive the CoreWebView2 instance.
WebMessageReceived	A wrapper around the WebMessageReceived. The only difference between this event and WebMessageReceived is the first parameter that's passed to handlers. Handlers of this event will receive the WebView2 control, whereas handlers of WebMessageReceived will receive the CoreWebView2 instance.
ZoomFactorChanged	The event is raised when the ZoomFactor property changes. This event directly exposes ZoomFactorChanged.
