winrt method

Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.WebView.InvokeScriptAsync

-description

Executes the specified script function from the currently loaded HTML, with specific arguments, as an asynchronous action.

-parameters

-param scriptName

The name of the script function to invoke.

-param arguments

A string array that packages arguments to the script function.

-returns

An asynchronous operation object from which, on successful completion, you can retrieve the string result of the script invocation (or an empty string if the result of the script is not a string).

-remarks

To prevent malicious code from exploiting your app, be sure to call this method to invoke only scripts that you trust.

The invoked script can return only string values. If the return value is not a string, an empty string is returned. For example, WebView.InvokeScriptAsync("eval", "1==1") returns an empty string rather than true, unless you use toString: WebView.InvokeScriptAsync("eval", "(1==1).toString()").

Your app might appear unresponsive while scripts are running. Handle the LongRunningScriptDetected event to interrupt a long-running script.
