Specifying a target frame name when using NavigateWithWebResourceRequest

[TRCarbone]

I'm updating a WinForms application to use the WebView2 control instead of the WebBrowser control .

With WebBrowser, the code is calling Navigate with a target frame name. Now I need an equivalent using WebView2.

I'm constructing and navigating as follows:

var request = f.webView2.CoreWebView2.Environment.CreateWebResourceRequest("mytargeturl", "POST", streamofPostData, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
f.webView2.CoreWebView2.NavigateWithWebResourceRequest(request);

There does not seem to be a way to specify the target frame. Is this a feature that needs to be implemented?

Hey @TRCarbone - We have general work planned for an iframe object with a similar API surface to CoreWebView2 that you could call Navigate*() on. I've added this as a scenario to our backlog to track specifically adding NavigateWithWebResourceRequest() to that object. Thanks!

Thank you @champnic - Is there a rough timeframe for implementation?

[champnic]

Unfortunately not really. The basic implementation of an iframe object may be done this quarter, but we don't know yet when it will be fully implemented.

[TRCarbone]

@champnic do you have any more information on the progress on the iframe implementation?

We've just released a CoreWebView2Frame class with 1.0.865-prerelease SDK, but we're starting with adding APIs around running scripts and native <-> web interop.
