WebView control (XAML) sample

This sample demonstrates how to use the XAML WebView control.

Specifically, this sample shows how to

  • Load different types of content into the WebView

    • Navigate the Webview to a URI with the Navigate method.
    • Load string content into the WebView with the NavigateToString method.
    • Load a file from the app package into the WebView using the ms-appx-web protocol.
    • Load a file from the app's file system storage into the WebView using the ms-appdata protocol.
    • Custom loading of HTML and support files (such as CSS, script, and images) with the NavigateToLocalStreamUri method and an implementation of the IUriToStreamResolver interface.

  • Obtain information about the WebView

    • Show a progress ring and Stop button during loading.
    • Update the Backward and Forward buttons based on the WebView navigation history.
    • Obtain a screenshot of the current WebView content with the CapturePreviewToStreamAsync method.

  • Interact with the WebView

    • Call a JavaScript function in the WebView and obtain the result with the InvokeScriptAsync method.
    • Receive information from WebView-hosted script by handling the ScriptNotify event.
    • Respond to requests from the WebView to enter full screen.

  • Support the Share contract by using the CaptureSelectedContentToDataPackageAsync method to obtain the current selection of the WebView.
