Members

get_AreDefaultContextMenusEnabled

The AreDefaultContextMenusEnabled property is used to prevent default context menus from being shown to user in webview.

public HRESULT get_AreDefaultContextMenusEnabled(BOOL * enabled)

Defaults to TRUE.

            BOOL allowContextMenus;
            CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->get_AreDefaultContextMenusEnabled(
                &allowContextMenus));
            if (allowContextMenus) {
                CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->put_AreDefaultContextMenusEnabled(FALSE));
                MessageBox(nullptr,
                L"Context menus will be disabled after the next navigation.",
                L"Settings change", MB_OK);
            }
            else {
                CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->put_AreDefaultContextMenusEnabled(TRUE));
                MessageBox(nullptr,
                    L"Context menus will be enabled after the next navigation.",
                    L"Settings change", MB_OK);
            }

get_AreDefaultScriptDialogsEnabled

AreDefaultScriptDialogsEnabled is used when loading a new HTML document.

public HRESULT get_AreDefaultScriptDialogsEnabled(BOOL * areDefaultScriptDialogsEnabled)

If set to false, then WebView won't render the default javascript dialog box (Specifically those shown by the javascript alert, confirm, prompt functions and beforeunload event). Instead, if an event handler is set by SetScriptDialogOpeningEventHandler, WebView will send an event that will contain all of the information for the dialog and allow the host app to show its own custom UI.

get_AreDevToolsEnabled

AreDevToolsEnabled controls whether the user is able to use the context menu or keyboard shortcuts to open the DevTools window.

public HRESULT get_AreDevToolsEnabled(BOOL * areDevToolsEnabled)

It is true by default.

get_AreRemoteObjectsAllowed

The AreRemoteObjectsAllowed property is used to control whether host objects are accessible from the page in webview.

public HRESULT get_AreRemoteObjectsAllowed(BOOL * allowed)

Defaults to TRUE.

            BOOL allowRemoteObjects;
            CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->get_AreRemoteObjectsAllowed(&allowRemoteObjects));
            if (allowRemoteObjects)
            {
                CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->put_AreRemoteObjectsAllowed(FALSE));
                MessageBox(
                    nullptr, L"Access to remote objects will be denied after the next navigation.",
                    L"Settings change", MB_OK);
            }
            else
            {
                CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->put_AreRemoteObjectsAllowed(TRUE));
                MessageBox(
                    nullptr, L"Access to remote objects will be allowed after the next navigation.",
                    L"Settings change", MB_OK);
            }

get_IsBuiltInErrorPageEnabled

The IsBuiltInErrorPageEnabled property is used to disable built in error page for navigation failure and render process failure.

public HRESULT get_IsBuiltInErrorPageEnabled(BOOL * enabled)

Defaults to TRUE. When disabled, blank page will be shown when related error happens.

            BOOL enabled;
            CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->get_IsBuiltInErrorPageEnabled(&enabled));
            if (enabled)
            {
                CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->put_IsBuiltInErrorPageEnabled(FALSE));
                MessageBox(
                    nullptr, L"Built-in error page will be disabled for future navigation.",
                    L"Settings change", MB_OK);
            }
            else
            {
                CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->put_IsBuiltInErrorPageEnabled(TRUE));
                MessageBox(
                    nullptr, L"Built-in error page will be enabled for future navigation.",
                    L"Settings change", MB_OK);
            }

get_IsScriptEnabled

Controls if JavaScript execution is enabled in all future navigations in the WebView.

public HRESULT get_IsScriptEnabled(BOOL * isScriptEnabled)

This only affects scripts in the document; scripts injected with ExecuteScript will run even if script is disabled. It is true by default.

        // Changes to settings will apply at the next navigation, which includes the
        // navigation after a NavigationStarting event.  We can use this to change
        // settings according to what site we're visiting.
        if (ShouldBlockScriptForUri(uri.get()))
        {
            m_settings->put_IsScriptEnabled(FALSE);
        }
        else
        {
            m_settings->put_IsScriptEnabled(m_isScriptEnabled);
        }

get_IsStatusBarEnabled

IsStatusBarEnabled controls whether the status bar will be displayed.

public HRESULT get_IsStatusBarEnabled(BOOL * isStatusBarEnabled)

The status bar is usually displayed in the lower left of the WebView and shows things such as the URI of a link when the user hovers over it and other information. It is true by default.

get_IsWebMessageEnabled

The IsWebMessageEnabled property is used when loading a new HTML document.

public HRESULT get_IsWebMessageEnabled(BOOL * isWebMessageEnabled)

If set to true, communication from the host to the webview's top level HTML document is allowed via PostWebMessageAsJson, PostWebMessageAsString, and window.chrome.webview's message event (see PostWebMessageAsJson documentation for details). Communication from the webview's top level HTML document to the host is allowed via window.chrome.webview's postMessage function and the SetWebMessageReceivedEventHandler method (see the SetWebMessageReceivedEventHandler documentation for details). If set to false, then communication is disallowed. PostWebMessageAsJson and PostWebMessageAsString will fail with E_ACCESSDENIED and window.chrome.webview.postMessage will fail by throwing an instance of an Error object. It is true by default.

    ComPtr<ICoreWebView2Settings> settings;
    CHECK_FAILURE(m_webView->get_Settings(&settings));

    CHECK_FAILURE(settings->put_IsWebMessageEnabled(TRUE));

get_IsZoomControlEnabled

The IsZoomControlEnabled property is used to prevent the user from impacting the zoom of the WebView.

public HRESULT get_IsZoomControlEnabled(BOOL * enabled)

Defaults to TRUE. When disabled, user will not be able to zoom using ctrl+/- or ctrl+mouse wheel, but the zoom can be set via ZoomFactor API.

            BOOL zoomControlEnabled;
            CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->get_IsZoomControlEnabled(&zoomControlEnabled));
            if (zoomControlEnabled)
            {
                CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->put_IsZoomControlEnabled(FALSE));
                MessageBox(
                    nullptr, L"Zoom control will be disabled after the next navigation.", L"Settings change",
                    MB_OK);
            }
            else
            {
                CHECK_FAILURE(m_settings->put_IsZoomControlEnabled(TRUE));
                MessageBox(
                    nullptr, L"Zoom control will be enabled after the next navigation.", L"Settings change",
                    MB_OK);
