WebView2WindowsFormsBrowser |
This is a hybrid application built with the Microsoft Edge WebView2 control.
The WebView2WindowsFormsBrowser is an example of an application that embeds a WebView within a Windows Forms application. It is built as a Windows Forms Visual Studio 2019 project and makes use of both C# and HTML/CSS/JavaScript in the WebView2 environment.
The API Sample showcases a selection of WebView2's event handlers and API methods that allow a Windows Forms application to directly interact with a WebView and vice versa.
If this is your first time using WebView, we recommend first following the Getting Started guide, which goes over how to create a WebView2 and walks through some basic WebView2 functionality.
To learn more specifics about events and API Handlers in WebView2, you can refer to the WebView2 Reference Documentation.
- Microsoft Edge (Chromium) installed on a supported OS. Currently we recommend the latest version of the Edge Canary channel.
- Visual Studio with .NET support installed.
- Latest pre-release version of our WebView2 SDK, which is included in this project.
Clone the repository and open the solution in Visual Studio. WebView2 is already included as a NuGet package* in this project.
- Clone this repository
- Open the solution in Visual Studio 2019**
- Set the target you want to build (Debug/Release, AnyCPU)
- Build the project file: WebView2WindowsFormsBrowser.csproj
That's it! Everything should be ready to just launch the app.
*You can get the WebView2 NugetPackage through the Visual Studio NuGet Package Manager.
**You can also use Visual Studio 2017 by changing the project's Platform Toolset in Project Properties/Configuration properties/General/Platform Toolset. You might also need to change the Windows SDK to the latest version available to you.
