add_ContainsFullScreenElementChanged
Add an event handler for the ContainsFullScreenElementChanged event.
public HRESULT add_ContainsFullScreenElementChanged(ICoreWebView2ContainsFullScreenElementChangedEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
ContainsFullScreenElementChanged triggers when the ContainsFullScreenElement property changes. An HTML element inside the WebView may enter fullscreen to the size of the WebView or leave fullscreen. This event is useful when, for example, a video element requests to go fullscreen. The listener of ContainsFullScreenElementChanged may resize the WebView in response.
// Register a handler for the ContainsFullScreenChanged event.
CHECK_FAILURE(m_webView->add_ContainsFullScreenElementChanged(
Callback<ICoreWebView2ContainsFullScreenElementChangedEventHandler>(
[this](ICoreWebView2* sender, IUnknown* args) -> HRESULT {

return S_OK;
})
.Get(),
nullptr));
add_ContentLoading
Add an event handler for the ContentLoading event.
public HRESULT add_ContentLoading(ICoreWebView2ContentLoadingEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
ContentLoading triggers before any content is loaded, including scripts added with AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated. ContentLoading does not trigger if a same page navigation occurs (such as through fragment navigations or history.pushState navigations). This operation follows the NavigationStarting and SourceChanged events and precedes the HistoryChanged and NavigationCompleted events.
add_DocumentTitleChanged
Add an event handler for the DocumentTitleChanged event.
public HRESULT add_DocumentTitleChanged(ICoreWebView2DocumentTitleChangedEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
DocumentTitleChanged runs when the DocumentTitle property of the WebView changes and may run before or after the NavigationCompleted event.
// Register a handler for the DocumentTitleChanged event.
// This handler just announces the new title on the window's title bar.
CHECK_FAILURE(m_webView->add_DocumentTitleChanged(

&m_documentTitleChangedToken));
add_FrameNavigationCompleted
Add an event handler for the FrameNavigationCompleted event.
public HRESULT add_FrameNavigationCompleted(ICoreWebView2NavigationCompletedEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
FrameNavigationCompleted triggers when a child frame has completely loaded (concurrently when body.onload has triggered) or loading stopped with error.
// Register a handler for the FrameNavigationCompleted event.
// Check whether the navigation succeeded, and if not, do something.
CHECK_FAILURE(m_webView->add_FrameNavigationCompleted(

add_FrameNavigationStarting
Add an event handler for the FrameNavigationStarting event.
public HRESULT add_FrameNavigationStarting(ICoreWebView2NavigationStartingEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
FrameNavigationStarting triggers when a child frame in the WebView requests permission to navigate to a different URI. Redirects trigger this operation as well, and the navigation id is the same as the original one.
Navigations will be blocked until all FrameNavigationStarting event handlers return.
// Register a handler for the FrameNavigationStarting event.
// This handler will prevent a frame from navigating to a blocked domain.
CHECK_FAILURE(m_webView->add_FrameNavigationStarting(

add_HistoryChanged
Add an event handler for the HistoryChanged event.
public HRESULT add_HistoryChanged(ICoreWebView2HistoryChangedEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
HistoryChanged is raised for changes to joint session history, which consists of top-level and manual frame navigations. Use HistoryChanged to verify that the CanGoBack or CanGoForward value has changed. HistoryChanged also runs for using GoBack or GoForward. HistoryChanged runs after SourceChanged and ContentLoading. CanGoBack is false for navigations initiated through ICoreWebView2Frame APIs if there has not yet been a user gesture.
// Register a handler for the HistoryChanged event.
// Update the Back, Forward buttons.
CHECK_FAILURE(m_webView->add_HistoryChanged(

add_NavigationCompleted
Add an event handler for the NavigationCompleted event.
public HRESULT add_NavigationCompleted(ICoreWebView2NavigationCompletedEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
NavigationCompleted runs when the WebView has completely loaded (concurrently when body.onload runs) or loading stopped with error.
// Register a handler for the NavigationCompleted event.
// Check whether the navigation succeeded, and if not, do something.
// Also update the Cancel buttons.
CHECK_FAILURE(m_webView->add_NavigationCompleted(

add_NavigationStarting
Add an event handler for the NavigationStarting event.
public HRESULT add_NavigationStarting(ICoreWebView2NavigationStartingEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
NavigationStarting runs when the WebView main frame is requesting permission to navigate to a different URI. Redirects trigger this operation as well, and the navigation id is the same as the original one.
Navigations will be blocked until all NavigationStarting event handlers return.
// Register a handler for the NavigationStarting event.
// This handler will check the domain being navigated to, and if the domain
// matches a list of blocked sites, it will cancel the navigation and
// possibly display a warning page. It will also disable JavaScript on
// selected websites.

add_NewWindowRequested
Add an event handler for the NewWindowRequested event.
public HRESULT add_NewWindowRequested(ICoreWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
NewWindowRequested runs when content inside the WebView requests to open a new window, such as through window.open. The app passes a target WebView that is considered the opened window.
If a deferral is not taken on the event args, scripts that resulted in the new window that are requested are blocked until the event handler returns. If a deferral is taken, then scripts are blocked until the deferral is completed or new window is set.
For more details and considerations on the target WebView to be supplied at the opened window, see ICoreWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventArgs::put_NewWindow.
// Register a handler for the NewWindowRequested event.

PermissionRequested runs when content in a WebView requests permission to access some privileged resources.
If a deferral is not taken on the event args, the subsequent scripts are blocked until the event handler returns. If a deferral is taken, the scripts are blocked until the deferral is completed.

add_SourceChanged
Add an event handler for the SourceChanged event.
public HRESULT add_SourceChanged(ICoreWebView2SourceChangedEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
SourceChanged triggers when the Source property changes. SourceChanged runs when navigating to a different site or fragment navigations. It does not trigger for other types of navigations such as page refreshes or history.pushState with the same URL as the current page. SourceChanged runs before ContentLoading for navigation to a new document.

add_WebMessageReceived
Add an event handler for the WebMessageReceived event.
public HRESULT add_WebMessageReceived(ICoreWebView2WebMessageReceivedEventHandler * handler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
WebMessageReceived runs when the ICoreWebView2Settings::IsWebMessageEnabled setting is set and the top-level document of the WebView runs window.chrome.webview.postMessage. The postMessage function is void postMessage(object) where object is any object supported by JSON conversion.
window.chrome.webview.addEventListener('message', arg => {
if ("SetColor" in arg.data) {
document.getElementById("colorable").style.color = arg.data.SetColor;
}
if ("WindowBounds" in arg.data) {
document.getElementById("window-bounds").value = arg.data.WindowBounds;
}
});
function SetTitleText() {
let titleText = document.getElementById("title-text");
window.chrome.webview.postMessage(`SetTitleText ${titleText.value}`);
}
function GetWindowBounds() {
window.chrome.webview.postMessage("GetWindowBounds");
}
When the page calls postMessage, the object parameter is converted to a JSON string and is posted asynchronously to the host process. This will result in the handler's Invoke method being called with the JSON string as a parameter.
// Setup the web message received event handler before navigating to
// ensure we don't miss any messages.

If the same page calls postMessage multiple times, the corresponding WebMessageReceived events are guaranteed to be fired in the same order. However, if multiple frames call postMessage, there is no guaranteed order. In addition, WebMessageReceived events caused by calls to postMessage are not guaranteed to be sequenced with events caused by DOM APIs. For example, if the page runs
chrome.webview.postMessage("message");
window.open();
then the NewWindowRequested event might be fired before the WebMessageReceived event. If you need the WebMessageReceived event to happen before anything else, then in the WebMessageReceived handler you can post a message back to the page and have the page wait until it receives that message before continuing.
add_WebResourceRequested
Add an event handler for the WebResourceRequested event.
public HRESULT add_WebResourceRequested(ICoreWebView2WebResourceRequestedEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)
WebResourceRequested runs when the WebView is performing a URL request to a matching URL and resource context filter that was added with AddWebResourceRequestedFilter. At least one filter must be added for the event to run.
The web resource requested may be blocked until the event handler returns if a deferral is not taken on the event args. If a deferral is taken, then the web resource requested is blocked until the deferral is completed.
If this event is subscribed in the add_NewWindowRequested handler it should be called after the new window is set. For more details see ICoreWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventArgs::put_NewWindow.
Currently this only supports file, http, and https URI schemes.

AddHostObjectToScript
Add the provided host object to script running in the WebView with the specified name.
public HRESULT AddHostObjectToScript(LPCWSTR name, VARIANT * object)
Host objects are exposed as host object proxies using window.chrome.webview.hostObjects.{name}. Host object proxies are promises and resolves to an object representing the host object. The promise is rejected if the app has not added an object with the name. When JavaScript code access a property or method of the object, a promise is return, which resolves to the value returned from the host for the property or method, or rejected in case of error, for example, no property or method on the object or parameters are not valid.
Note
While simple types, IDispatch and array are supported, and IUnknown objects that also implement IDispatch are treated as IDispatch, generic IUnknown, VT_DECIMAL, or VT_RECORD variant is not supported. Remote JavaScript objects like callback functions are represented as an VT_DISPATCH``VARIANT with the object implementing IDispatch. The JavaScript callback method may be invoked using DISPID_VALUE for the DISPID. Nested arrays are supported up to a depth of 3. Arrays of by reference types are not supported. VT_EMPTY and VT_NULL are mapped into JavaScript as null. In JavaScript, null and undefined are mapped to VT_EMPTY.
Additionally, all host objects are exposed as window.chrome.webview.hostObjects.sync.{name}. Here the host objects are exposed as synchronous host object proxies. These are not promises and function runtimes or property access synchronously block running script waiting to communicate cross process for the host code to run. Accordingly the result may have reliability issues and it is recommended that you use the promise-based asynchronous window.chrome.webview.hostObjects.{name} API.
Synchronous host object proxies and asynchronous host object proxies may both use a proxy to the same host object. Remote changes made by one proxy propagates to any other proxy of that same host object whether the other proxies and synchronous or asynchronous.
While JavaScript is blocked on a synchronous run to native code, that native code is unable to run back to JavaScript. Attempts to do so fail with HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_POSSIBLE_DEADLOCK).
Host object proxies are JavaScript Proxy objects that intercept all property get, property set, and method invocations. Properties or methods that are a part of the Function or Object prototype are run locally. Additionally any property or method in the chrome.webview.hostObjects.options.forceLocalProperties array are also run locally. This defaults to including optional methods that have meaning in JavaScript like toJSON and Symbol.toPrimitive. Add more to the array as required.
The chrome.webview.hostObjects.cleanupSome method performs a best effort garbage collection on host object proxies.
The chrome.webview.hostObjects.options object provides the ability to change some functionality of host objects.
| Options property | Details |
|---|---|
forceLocalProperties |
This is an array of host object property names that will be run locally, instead of being called on the native host object. This defaults to then, toJSON, Symbol.toString, and Symbol.toPrimitive. You can add other properties to specify that they should be run locally on the javascript host object proxy. |
log |
This is a callback that will be called with debug information. For example, you can set this to console.log.bind(console) to have it print debug information to the console to help when troubleshooting host object usage. By default this is null. |
shouldSerializeDates |
By default this is false, and javascript Date objects will be sent to host objects as a string using JSON.stringify. You can set this property to true to have Date objects properly serialize as a VT_DATE when sending to the native host object, and have VT_DATE properties and return values create a javascript Date object. |
Host object proxies additionally have the following methods which run locally.
| Method name | Details |
|---|---|
applyHostFunction, getHostProperty, setHostProperty |
Perform a method invocation, property get, or property set on the host object. Use the methods to explicitly force a method or property to run remotely if a conflicting local method or property exists. For instance, proxy.toString() runs the local toString method on the proxy object. But proxy.applyHostFunction('toString') runs toString on the host proxied object instead. |
getLocalProperty, setLocalProperty |
Perform property get, or property set locally. Use the methods to force getting or setting a property on the host object proxy rather than on the host object it represents. For instance, proxy.unknownProperty gets the property named unknownProperty from the host proxied object. But proxy.getLocalProperty('unknownProperty') gets the value of the property unknownProperty on the proxy object. |
sync |
Asynchronous host object proxies expose a sync method which returns a promise for a synchronous host object proxy for the same host object. For example, chrome.webview.hostObjects.sample.methodCall() returns an asynchronous host object proxy. Use the sync method to obtain a synchronous host object proxy instead: const syncProxy = await chrome.webview.hostObjects.sample.methodCall().sync(). |
async |
Synchronous host object proxies expose an async method which blocks and returns an asynchronous host object proxy for the same host object. For example, chrome.webview.hostObjects.sync.sample.methodCall() returns a synchronous host object proxy. Running the async method on this blocks and then returns an asynchronous host object proxy for the same host object: const asyncProxy = chrome.webview.hostObjects.sync.sample.methodCall().async(). |
then |
Asynchronous host object proxies have a then method. Allows proxies to be awaitable. then returns a promise that resolves with a representation of the host object. If the proxy represents a JavaScript literal, a copy of that is returned locally. If the proxy represents a function, a non-awaitable proxy is returned. If the proxy represents a JavaScript object with a mix of literal properties and function properties, the a copy of the object is returned with some properties as host object proxies. |
All other property and method invocations (other than the above Remote object proxy methods, forceLocalProperties list, and properties on Function and Object prototypes) are run remotely. Asynchronous host object proxies return a promise representing asynchronous completion of remotely invoking the method, or getting the property. The promise resolves after the remote operations complete and the promises resolve to the resulting value of the operation. Synchronous host object proxies work similarly, but block running JavaScript and wait for the remote operation to complete.
Setting a property on an asynchronous host object proxy works slightly differently. The set returns immediately and the return value is the value that is set. This is a requirement of the JavaScript Proxy object. If you need to asynchronously wait for the property set to complete, use the setHostProperty method which returns a promise as described above. Synchronous object property set property synchronously blocks until the property is set.
For example, suppose you have a COM object with the following interface.
[uuid(3a14c9c0-bc3e-453f-a314-4ce4a0ec81d8), object, local]
interface IHostObjectSample : IUnknown
{
// Demonstrate basic method call with some parameters and a return value.
HRESULT MethodWithParametersAndReturnValue([in] BSTR stringParameter, [in] INT integerParameter, [out, retval] BSTR* stringResult);
// Demonstrate getting and setting a property.
[propget] HRESULT Property([out, retval] BSTR* stringResult);
[propput] HRESULT Property([in] BSTR stringValue);
[propget] HRESULT IndexedProperty(INT index, [out, retval] BSTR * stringResult);
[propput] HRESULT IndexedProperty(INT index, [in] BSTR stringValue);
// Demonstrate native calling back into JavaScript.
HRESULT CallCallbackAsynchronously([in] IDispatch* callbackParameter);
// Demonstrate a property which uses Date types
[propget] HRESULT DateProperty([out, retval] DATE * dateResult);
[propput] HRESULT DateProperty([in] DATE dateValue);
// Creates a date object on the native side and sets the DateProperty to it.
HRESULT CreateNativeDate();
};
Add an instance of this interface into your JavaScript with AddHostObjectToScript. In this case, name it sample.
VARIANT remoteObjectAsVariant = {};
m_hostObject.query_to<IDispatch>(&remoteObjectAsVariant.pdispVal);
remoteObjectAsVariant.vt = VT_DISPATCH;
// We can call AddHostObjectToScript multiple times in a row without
// calling RemoveHostObject first. This will replace the previous object
// with the new object. In our case this is the same object and everything
// is fine.

AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated
Add the provided JavaScript to a list of scripts that should be run after the global object has been created, but before the HTML document has been parsed and before any other script included by the HTML document is run.
public HRESULT AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated(LPCWSTR javaScript, ICoreWebView2AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreatedCompletedHandler * handler)
This method injects a script that runs on all top-level document and child frame page navigations. This method runs asynchronously, and you must wait for the completion handler to finish before the injected script is ready to run. When this method completes, the Invoke method of the handler is run with the id of the injected script. id is a string. To remove the injected script, use RemoveScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated.
If the method is run in add_NewWindowRequested handler it should be called after the new window is set. For more details see ICoreWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventArgs::put_NewWindow.
Note
If an HTML document is running in a sandbox of some kind using sandbox properties or the Content-Security-Policy HTTP header affects the script that runs. For example, if the allow-modals keyword is not set then requests to run the alert function are ignored.

AddWebResourceRequestedFilter
Adds a URI and resource context filter for the WebResourceRequested event.
public HRESULT AddWebResourceRequestedFilter(LPCWSTR const uri, COREWEBVIEW2_WEB_RESOURCE_CONTEXT const resourceContext)
A web resource request with a resource context that matches this filter's resource context and a URI that matches this filter's URI wildcard string will be raised via the WebResourceRequested event.
The uri parameter value is a wildcard string matched against the URI of the web resource request. This is a glob style wildcard string in which a * matches zero or more characters and a ? matches exactly one character. These wildcard characters can be escaped using a backslash just before the wildcard character in order to represent the literal * or ?.
The matching occurs over the URI as a whole string and not limiting wildcard matches to particular parts of the URI. The wildcard filter is compared to the URI after the URI has been normalized, any URI fragment has been removed, and non-ASCII hostnames have been converted to punycode.
Specifying a nullptr for the uri is equivalent to an empty string which matches no URIs.
For more information about resource context filters, navigate to [COREWEBVIEW2_WEB_RESOURCE_CONTEXT].
| URI Filter String | Request URI | Match | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
* |

Specify the format of the image with the imageFormat parameter. The resulting image binary data is written to the provided imageStream parameter. When CapturePreview finishes writing to the stream, the Invoke method on the provided handler parameter is run. This method fails if called before the first ContentLoading event. For example if this is called in the NavigationStarting event for the first navigation it will fail. For subsequent navigations, the method may not fail, but will not capture an image of a given webpage until the ContentLoading event has been fired for it. Any call to this method prior to that will result in a capture of the page being navigated away from.

ExecuteScript
Run JavaScript code from the javascript parameter in the current top-level document rendered in the WebView.
public HRESULT ExecuteScript(LPCWSTR javaScript, ICoreWebView2ExecuteScriptCompletedHandler * handler)
The result of evaluating the provided JavaScript is used in this parameter. The result value is a JSON encoded string. If the result is undefined, contains a reference cycle, or otherwise is not able to be encoded into JSON, then the result is considered to be null, which is encoded in JSON as the string "null".
Note
A function that has no explicit return value returns undefined. If the script that was run throws an unhandled exception, then the result is also "null". This method is applied asynchronously. If the method is run after the NavigationStarting event during a navigation, the script runs in the new document when loading it, around the time ContentLoading is run. This operation executes the script even if ICoreWebView2Settings::IsScriptEnabled is set to FALSE.
