Hi again,
what is the difference between providing arguments in the New_c.WebView2(...) compared to BindTo(...)?
I.e. adding userDataFolder and additionalBrowserArguments seems only have to affect in BindTo(), and also it seems that even the arguments are optional I can't just provide the additionalBrowserArguments without also specifying a userDataFolder. If userDataFolder is left empty or as an empty string, BindTo will fail.

None ...Quote:

I have corrected that timeout-difference in the cConstructor-call to 8sec now (to match with BindTo).
All the Params are just "routed through" to BindTo, as they come in via New_c.WebView2 -Quote:

If userData is left empty, the BindTo-call will internally not "leave it that way", but initialize it to:Quote:

Perhaps certain commandline-arguments only work with certain UserDataFolder-Paths
(which might also depend on the OS-version you are using - I've heard of Users who have had problems on Win7)...
As for your earlier question... I think "finding the right HTML5" (and Css- or style-attributes)
is in the responsibility of the Users of this control-binding (to not blow this thread here "out of proportion") -
and would suggest to post your HTML-questions in a better matching Forum (or SubForum on this site).

@Olaf, thanks for reply!
My earlier question was regarding basic authentication. If it was possible to get a callback from cWebView2 and provide user name and password in order to prevent the Sign in prompt (if a site uses basic authentication). E.g. something like GetCredentials(ByVal Url As String, UserName As String, Password As String, Cancel As Boolean).Quote:

There's also a lot of different "auth"-related params for the commandline... you might want to experiment with.
And finally, there's (since 6.0.9) a new method:
- NavigateWithWebResourceRequest (which has an optional param: Headers_CrLfSeparated As String)
which will allow you to specify headers like e.g.: "Authorization: Basic <your base64-encoded credentials>"

Yes, passing username:password in the url is how I now currently solved it, but that is not a preferable solution from a security perspective.
Instead username/password should not be provided unless the site requests for it, and with a callback I can check if I have the proper credentials for the url, and in that case provide them or otherwise set cancel = true which will bring up the default Sign in prompt. Just a proposal for a nice feature for the future :-)
Thanks again

When I execute the js command,
WV.AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated jscode
WV.jsRunAsync "GetLinks", "div.picList > ul > li>a" '. error Unable to read in WV_JSAsyncResult. .
if changed to
WV.AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated jscode
sleep 1000
WV.jsRunAsync "GetLinks", "div.picList > ul > li>a" '.
execution succeed. Is there a better way without sleep?
Also execute WV.ExecuteScript "document.querySelector('#app > div > section > aside > span').click();" sometimes the webpage is not executed successfully. So I will modify it to
WV.ExecuteScript "document.querySelector('#app > div > section > aside > span').click();"
sleep 1000
WV.ExecuteScript "document.querySelector('#app > div > section > aside > span').click();"
sleep 1000
WV.ExecuteScript "document.querySelector('#app > div > section > aside > span').click();"
Is there any good way to wait for js to finish executing synchronously?
How is the jsCallTimeOutSeconds function used?
Hi Olaf,
Thank you for such a great contribution. I was able to achieve most of the task that I need to.
However, I am unable to handle below scenarios:
1. Handle multiple downloads: I want to enable this by default to allow multiple file download (disable multiple file download confirmation). This is because I perform very lengthy process which ends with downloading multiple files which is currently blocked after downloading first file.
2. Default file download location: How to specify default file download location?
I tried to play with %appdata%\EBWebView\Default\Preference file that stores this settings. However, this file is overwritten automatically by some process every few seconds which causes reversal of my changes.
Also, I see that WebView2 has DownloadStarting event that allows to achieve some part of above, but I do not see that available in cWebView2.
Hi Olaf,
if you have any plans of extending the cWebView2 events (e.g. DownloadStarting) then also the DocumentTitleChange is of interest. I have solved it now by adding the following code in the DocumentComplete event:
m_webView.ExecuteScript "document.addEventListener('DOMSubtreeModified', function(e){if(e.target.nodeName === 'TITLE') vbH().RaiseMessageEvent('OnTitleChange',e.target.text)})"
This is maybe not the most efficient solution, but at least it works.
In addition I'm also very interested in getting access to "CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions". Its property "AdditionalBrowserArguments" can be applied in the constructor and BindTo method, but is is possible to access the "Language" and "AllowSingleSignOnUsingOSPrimaryAccount" properties?
Finally in order to solve my earlier WinInet issues there seems to be a solution by copying cookies from WinInet to WebView2, but it would the require access to the "CoreWebView2CookieManager" object. Any plans to make such extensions of the cWebView?

Hi again Olaf,
one more question. I found a bug when adding an object using the AddObject() method which I guess internally calls the "AddHostObjectToScript". It seems that you can't access an attribute named "length" of such object. The solution I found was to add the following line for the created javascript proxy object:
var myobject = window.chrome.webview.hostObjects.sync.myobject; // myobject with a "length" attribute added with cWebView2.AddObject()
alert(myobject.length); // will always display 0
// adding the following solves the issue
myobject._forceRemoteProperties.add("length"); // myobject is actually a proxy object in javascript
alert(myobject.length); // now shows the correct value of myobject.length
As I don not know the implementation details, is this a bug in cWebView2.AddObject() or something I should report in github for CoreWebView2.AddHostObjectToScript()?

Hello avinash7 and Bearfot
Olaf seems to rarely respond to requests to add functionality to RC6. It's probably to avoid putting pressure on himself. The task he has set himself is indeed hudge.
In a recent conversation, he told me he hoped to integrate Webview2 download management in version 6.0.10 of RC6. I look forward to this version to continue my developments. I even check every day if the new version is posted on his site!
We'll have to be patient :)
Thanks again to Olaf for his fantastic work !
The AddHostObjectToScript issue is confirmed bug in webview2 (issue #2185) so this can be ignored.
Access of the cookie manager can also be skipped as this seems not solve my issue.
Other things just nice to have, so no remaining issues from me.
Sorry Olaf and saturnian if it looked like creating pressure. I posted here to see if there is anything already available and can be leveraged to achieve what I wanted to do. This is because I see that Olaf has surfed breadth and depth of this area!Quote:

I have successfully used the WebView2 in the VB6 IDE without issues... BUT, when I go to MAKE my project, it fails to compile with the following error:
Unexpected error occurred in code generator or linker. --View error messages?
I click on Yes and get a text tmp file that contains this error:
C:\<MYFOLDER>\<MYFORM>.frm(6624) : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR

Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++
Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information
If I comment out any lines where I'm doing this:
Set wv5 = New_c.WebView2
or this:
If wv5.BindTo(... blah, blah... ) then
Then the program compiles fine. Obviously, it doesn't *work* correctly because these lines are commented out.
Again, if I just Run the program in the VB6 IDE, then it works great.
Please help.
Maybe it's a question about the RC6 path.Quote:

If it runs in the IDE, then there is nothing wrong with the registration of RC6 -Quote:

I'd start trying to fix this, by ensuring Admin-Mode for the IDE -
and try to "open, and compile to" from/to local Folders on local Disks...
(also making sure, that "compiling Debug-info into your Executable" is deactivated in the IDEs compiler-settings)

The particular form I'm adding this to is the "main" form for a pretty large program that has been my project for the last 13 years. It is on the edge of having more controls than VB6 allows, so I thought perhaps having to declare WV (with events) was pushing it over the limit. I don't know if it's possible, but it would be wonderful if we could have an ARRAY of WV (with events). I'm not sure if these declarations "count" towards the VB6 limits or not, but either way, this would allow an array of WV that match an array of PicBoxes that "host" the WVs that I want to use the in program (there are several). This is exactly how I'm implementing this with the Webbrowser controls that I'm trying to replace.
Anyway, I went "back to basics" and tried to compile the sample program and it compiled right up without problems AND it actually works when Run, both in the IDE and the EXE.
So, I *moved* these statements:
Set wv5 = New_c.WebView2
If wv5.BindTo(FZwv(5).hwnd, , "C:\<myfolder>\EdgeWebView") = 0 Then
... to the Form_Load event (as in the Demo program) and the program now *does* Compile, but it does *not* work. For some reason, in my program, it seems to want me to do the BindTo again in order to work correctly...
Perhaps, this is because the PicBox isn't really visible YET in the Form_Load event? Does the PicBox actually *have* to be Visible in order for the BindTo to work correctly? The main form isn't yet visible in the load event, it's busy loading... AND the user has yet to actually do anything that will make the WV/PicBox visible in the program, as this is an option for the user to turn this on or off.
Again, Thanks for all your work on this and other tools over the years.
That's right! The window to whose hwnd the WebView is bound must be visible. This can be quite tricky with modal windows.Quote:

In my sample code, I do something like this: https://www.vbforums.com/showthread....mo-application
It appears that the entire project is not based on normal VB6 forms. Without a total rewrite, are there some snippets of code that I could possibly use to get passed the Visible requirement, or to trick it into working?Quote:

Please take another look at the first line in my original Demo-Codes Form_Load (and the comments I made there).

The real problem is that the program won't *compile*. So, I tried different settings on the VB6 compiler dialog -- it appears that the only way I can get it to compile is to change it to Compile to P-Code. Any other setting I tried with a working program, would generate the compiler error in the original post.
Only time will tell if I'm able to keep these settings and distribute without causing other unknown issues, but I'm going to give it a try.
Thanks again for helping me out. If there's anything else I can provide that might help solve the issue, just let me know.

The DOM is there, but you have to interact with it in js now...Quote:

.AddNL " var f = document.forms[0]"
.AddNL " f.elements['user_name'].value = usr"
.AddNL " f.elements['user_password'].value = pwd"
.AddNL " f.submit()"
.AddNL "}"
wv.AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated .ToString
End With
Only the usage of this function - e.g. via:
wv.jsRun "submitLoginForm", "myUsrID", "myPwd"
has to be done after the document was loaded (e.g. from within Navigation_Complete or Document_Complete)

It is persistent (on that bound wv-instance) for all subsequent navigations -Quote:

Selector-Strings are extremely powerful (they allow to search for any attribute, parent/child-relation and so on...)
At the end of the day, there's no way around doing all your "DOM-stuff" in javascript ...
but it has to be said, that this usually requires less lines of code, compared to VB6/IE-COMbased-DOM-parsing.

I currently need 10 WebView controls to replace the webbrowser controls in the form. They are an array, so it seems to be ok with these, but I will have to see if there's anything that can be deleted from the form in order to truly replace all of them.
I don't have a clue what would go into doing this, but I'd like to think everyone would benefit from it.

The RC6.cEventCollection might be what you are looking for. I've adapted Olaf's original demo to show how you can use the cEventCollection with cWebView2 bound to a control array of PictureBoxes:Quote:

Let me know if you have any questions though.

Public Property Get WV() As cWebView2

So it just boils down to a bit of work inside the UC (for the Event-Definition and -ReDelegation).Code:Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Load()
Visible = True 'always ensure Visibility of the TopLevel-Window first
ucWV(0).WV.NavigateToString "<h1>Hello World</h1>" 'Ctl at Index 0 navigates to a String

Private Sub ucWV_DocumentComplete(Index As Integer) 'example for Ctl-Array-based Event-Handling
With ucWV(Index).WV
Debug.Print .jsProp("Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName('h1')).map(e=>e.innerText).join(',')")
End With

Though in the end this should be quite elegant and robust.

Also, I was trying to add a "Busy" flag, as I didn't see how I can do this:
1. Navigate somewhere
2. wait until WV is actually there and complete
3. continue
So, in my main program, I basically set a global Boolean for *each* WV as WVbusy=true, just before I WV.navigate, then in the NavigationCompleted event, I reset the global WVbusy back to false.
Since I'm "extending" the WV, I didn't know how/if I could extend it this way?
Thanks!
I programmed an ocx encapsulating the RC6's Webview2 for my own purposes. It is available here, for those interested.
It is a version which will evolve with the improvements of the RC6 and which is delivered as it is, without any guarantee. But in my software, it works perfectly. Thanks again to Olaf!

While opening the application for the 1st time after starting computer, application crashes with below details in the event viewer. From 2nd time onwards, no issues at all on same computers. This happens for both installed EXE or running project from VB6 IDE. We have kept 30 seconds timeout for BindTo method (WV.BindTo(picWV.hWnd, 30)). Timeout doesn't seem to be the issue as application crashes immediately. All computers have Evergreeen WebView2-Runtime installed which is updated automatically as well as properly registered required RC6 related DLLs in single folder. This happens on multiple computers. We are opening both EXE as well as VB6 IDE with Run as Administrator, if that matters.

Then re-start your machine and check the little Executable, how it behaves "at first Startup, shortly after booting the machine".
If that works, then the error is in all likelihood *not* caused by the WebView2-lib (or the wrapper).

Thanks for this!! I have downloaded and I'm trying it out. My first problem is how to set it up to call the .JSrun with Parameters? I'm converting the code from using the WebView2 directly and it's complaining:Quote:

I All,
I am not able to use the RC6 WebView2 from outside VB6. In VB6 (in the IDE and compiled) everything works correctly. The same if I use the "saturnian" control (an ocx encapsulating the RC6 WebView2). The problem is when I want to use the WebView2 from, for example, PowerBuilder. I've been using RC without problems in PB for a long time, but I can't get the WebView2 to work. When I call BindTo , the PB IDE crashes (the same in a compiled version) with the same error it gives to "avinash7" (error in ntdll.dll").
I have tested the AntView control (https://antview.dev/downloads/) which I believe uses the same mechanism (WebView2Loader.dll) and everything works correctly, both in VB6, PowerBuilder, even in an Excel userForm.
If I use the saturnian control in PowerBuilder, I get the error (just instantiate the control):
Attachment 184685
For what it's worth, in PowerBuilder's object browser, I can see all RC6 classes except "cWebView2":
Attachment 184686
However, the error does not occur when creating the cWebView2 object, but when calling BindTo (or when creating it by passing the hWnd parameter).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
@saturnian
Does your ActiveX control allow the setting of the userDataFolder ?
Can't seem to find it in VB6 Object Browser.
Thanks
For the moment no. But if you are using a Fixed Version of WebView2, the user directory data is in the installation folder of this version (by default: C:\ProgramData\OrdoWebView2\Microsoft.WebView2.FixedVersionRuntime\Data\EBWebView)Quote:

But this cannot be changed on the fly. You must use one OrdoWebView2 control per user, modify the EdgeFixedPath property and launch the Init method.

Is there any plans to include all properties as detailed here in particular:
IsPasswordAutosaveEnabled
IsGeneralAutofillEnabled
Thanks
just ran across this, it's exactly what i've been looking for, so thank you.
i have a question, hopefully someone can help.
i've figured out mostly everything i need, but i need help with 2 things.
1) outputting the entire html of the website into a textbox. i was able to use WV.jsProp("document.body.innerHTML") but it only captures part of the html, and i need the entire source of the page.
2) scan entire page for elements such as ID, NAME, HREF, and display them in a textbox. basically, with the webbrowser control i would do this:
For X = 0 To WebBrowser1.Document.All.Length
strID = WebBrowser1.Document.All.Item(X).Id
If Not strID = "" Then txtIDs.Text = txtIDs.Text & "(" & X & ") " & wB.Document.All.Item(X).Id & vbNewLine
Next X
so basically that just loops through every element on the page, checks if it has an ID, and if so it displays it in a textbox. then you can replace Id with name or href. i need to re-create that same thing here. does anyone know how to achieve this? thanks!

edit:
i figured out #1 i think. if anyone else is having the same issue, try using WV.jsProp("document.documentElement.outerHTML")
With the WebView2 you should get more familiar with its JS-interface ...Quote:

For example, if you add the following js-function (via WV.AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated):
You can then use this js-routine from VB (with a "Selector-Filter-Expression"-param) e.g. this way:Code:WV.AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated New_c.ArrayList(vbString, _
"function getByExpression_id_tag_val_name_href(sExpr){", _
" var resArr = []", _
" for (var e of document.querySelectorAll(sExpr).values()){", _
" resArr.push({id:e.id, tag:e.tagName, val:e.value, name:e.name, href:e.href})", _
" }", _
" return JSON.stringify(resArr)", _
"}").Join(vbLf)
Debug.Print WV.jsRun("getByExpression_id_tag_val_name_href", "[id]:not([id=''])")
The blue marked Expression-String above, filters for:
- all Elements which contain the ID-attribute (the leading [id] -part)
- and of those with an id-attribute, ignore the ones which have an empty string in it (the not([id=''] -part)
These Selector-Expressions are extremely powerful - just google for examples...

Does anyone have an example of how to use NavigateWithWebResourceRequest with HTTP Basic Auth?
Hi everyone
I just wanted to know is there any equivalent method in webview2 for the followings:
suppose mdocDocument is declared as an HTMLDocument
set mhtmInput1 = mdocDocument.createElement("Input")
mdocDocument.appendChild mhtmInput1
set mhtmCoords = mdocDocument.getElementById("coords")
mdocDocument.parentWindow.event
mdocDocument_onClick
mdocDocument.parentWindow.Blur
Thanks in advance
The HTMLDocument and the corresponding interface do not exist here. You have to program this code (a function) in JavaScript and either integrate it statically into the page or add it dynamically via VB. You can call the function from your programme at any time (also parameterised). See also: AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated, jsRun, jsRunAsync and ExecuteScript.Quote:

Hi Olaf
The problem "Runtime Error 53: Error in FindFirstFile: ErrNum: 3, The system cannot find the path specified." persists.
I had to clean install my windows 10, registered RC6.dll and today installed WebView2. WebView version 103.0.1264.71 installed into the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EDGE\Application", your program looks for the "EdgeWebView" folder.
Solution? Should I rename this folder?
Regards
Hi Olaf
Solutions sometimes can be quick: I did what I should have done before posting.
I copied the "Edge" folder and renamed the copy "EdgeWebView" - now my program runs smooth!

Hi !
Thank you for this great tool !
I am looking for a way to change the WebView2 default User-Agent.
I know that I can send a request with NavigateWithWebResourceRequest and set the User-Agent via the headers but I need that all the resources of the page are loaded with the same User Agent. In .net the solution is to call this method :
var settings = new Web.CoreWebView2.Settings;
settings.UserAgent = "XXXXX";
Is there a way to do this ?
There's a ton of settings possible via optional commandline-string (which you can pass along in the Bind-Method) -Quote:

Hi @Olaf,
One more question : I can't access the documenturl property sometimes (it's blank).
I've read in previous posts that you have a workaround for this problem and that you'll need to update the DLL.
Is it possible to access this property with a temp fix using JSPROP for example ?
Thanks,
can anybody share with me how to get webview2 cookies vb6
Please study (or at least search through) the postings of the discussion-thread you're currently in...Quote:

Can this tool(webview2) replace selenium to emulate user behavior on the webpage?
In my understanding, Selenium was written as a generic Test-Tool which can "work against multiple Browser-engines".Quote:

So, if you currently use Selenium for your own testing-purposes with success,
why change it to something "less capable" and "less generic".
Just my $0.02...
