Is there a StatusBar Message Event ?

[vecerilek]

I'm using webview2 without statusbar (CoreWebView2.Settings.IsStatusBarEnabled = False).
Is there any event for StatusBar Message change?
I want to use my own status bar which do not overlap the webpage.
Thanks.

Not currently. You can probably semi-implement this yourself by injecting script which detects when links are being hovered or something like that. It's a reasonable ask though, so I'll add it to our backlog (though I think it will be low priority so probably won't get added for a while).

Hi @vecerilek, after some investigation I have a couple of follow up questions/concerns:

• Have you tried something like this in javascript? My suspicion is that you would be able to setup a script to track hovering over a link, and simply checking the window.status of the link, and outputting that via your own custom UI.

• Could you provide more context into why you're trying to display the status via your own UI? Is the current one intrusive/doesn't meet your theming?

Hi Jason,
I have my own statusbar for other purposes, so it seemed convenient to use it also for webview messages and avoid webpage overlapping. To be honest, actually I enabled your status bar and it's ok. You can cancel this request.
What bothers me more is getting favicon as I already submited as other feature request. Using Javasript or google api is just temporary solution for me.
Thanks a lot.
