Windows Store Developer Solutions - Ten Things You Need to Know About WebView
Hi - I am Matt Small, a Sr. Escalation Engineer on the Microsoft Windows Store Developer Solutions team. I have been working on Windows 8 since before the Release Preview, and I have spent many hours working in the Store forums, primarily in the C# forum. I’ve seen a *lot* of posts on the C# forum regarding the WebView control and thought it would be good to compile the information we’ve collected regarding Webview. Since this article is rather long, I've indexed it for you:
- WebView is not a general-purpose browser
- WebView always renders on top of XAML
- WebView doesn’t do Flash. Or Silverlight. Or PDF. Or any other ActiveX control or plugin.
- How to invoke Javascript inside the displayed webpage of a Webview
- How to receive information from the WebView
- How to inject javascript into a WebView page
- How to clear the WebView cache
- How to embed a font into your app to be used by WebView
- Launching other apps from a link inside WebView
- How to get rid of those annoying JavaScript exceptions when debugging
..."
This is a really nice round-up of tips, issues, resolutions and just WebView good stuff...
