Expose windowFeatures passed into window.open in IWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventArgs

[michael-russin]

Please expose the following parameters in IWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventArgs so the application hosting the new window can honor the settings passed from JavaScript into the window.open() call

• height
• width
• x
• y
• fullscreen
• location bar (address bar) visible
• menu bar visible
• scrollbars visible
• status bar visible
• toolbar visible

It would be similar to how CEF exposes CefPopupFeatures in CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforePopup

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! Do you need all of the windowfeatures values? What are you planning to do with them? Thanks!

[michael-russin]

We just need x, y, height and width. We have a application that shows multiple web views hosting different web pages. One of them is scrolling news headlines and when a user clicks on a story link the web page passes size and location information for the story popup. We currently handle the new window event to provide a parent window that matches our application style and we use the position and size information to place the window.

As a workaround, you can patch window.open():

//Patch window.open to get dimensions
(function (nativeOpen) {
  window.open = function (u, t, p) {
  //Parse parameters here
  return nativeOpen(u, t, p)
}
})(open)

The window features is now exposed to the NewWindowRequested event. Please see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/reference/win32/0-9-538/icorewebview2experimentalnewwindowrequestedeventargs for reference. Please note that this API addition is currently experimental and let us know if this works for you. Thanks!

This doesn't seem to have been exposed for Winforms?

[yildirimcagri-msft]

We don't support exposing the experimental APIs to WinForms and WPF yet, however it's in our internal backlog. Feel free to create a separate GitHub issue if you'd like to track this. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll wait, we don't have anything dependant on it.
