VB6 WebView2-Binding (Edge-Chromium)

[Schmidt]

Hopefully, this is something simple. Trying to simply set the Background Color of the webview2 page.
There is a property for it, but I can't seem to find where it is in the cWebView2 class.

There is not specific property for it on the WV2 ...

The WV2-interface is generally much more "spartan", compared to the old IE-control -
which IMO is a good thing - because the less you have to learn (about the MS-WebView2).

Instead the focus now shifts from built-in COM-methods -
to "easy reachable js-Methods- and -Properties, inside the Browser-engine"

One has to be relatively proficient with JavaScript, to make good use of the WebView2
(and that's a skill, many developers these days already have).

Below is a code-snippet, which uses javascript-property-syntax - to influence the backcolor of the document.body.

Option Explicit
 
Private WithEvents WV As cWebView2

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Me.Visible = True 'ensure visibility of this "Parent.hWnd"
  
  Set WV = New_c.WebView2(Me.hWnd) 'bind to the hWnd
  
      WV.NavigateToString "<p>Hello World</p>" 'create a simple document from string-input
      
      WV.jsProp("document.body.style.background") = "red" 'set the body.style.background-pop to red color
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Resize()
  If Not WV Is Nothing Then WV.SyncSizeToHostWindow
End Sub
