Allow easy access to DOM/HTML

[ukandrewc]

I've just started writing one to compliment this implementation: https://github.com/michael-russin/webview2-control

But wondering if it's worth waiting if you have plans for one.
Thanks

Hey I just saw your projects on nuget yesterday but haven't had a chance to look into them yet. Thanks for trying it out! Did you run into any interesting issues etc?

We are planning on producing a WPF & WinForms controls sometime by the first half of next year with a dev preview earlier than that.

Just to clarify, they aren't my projects ;-)
Sorry, but my question is: do you plan to have DOM classes that are accessible from .Net?
Thanks

[david-risney]

Oh I see. If I understand what you're planning, no. Similar to the EdgeHtml WebView (and unlike the mshtml WebView/WebControl), we don't plan to expose the DOM via our API and instead it should be accessed via script.

Thanks David, for clarifying.
Ideally we'd like to see access similar to mshtml, but I'm sure we'll create our own, or cope with JS ;-)

I'm really keen to see the Winforms control, as early as possible.
Our application is built on the mshtml control, which needed replacing a year ago ;-)
I need to create a .Net wrapper around the DOM, so would like to get started on that ASAP.
If there's anything that can be done to start work sooner, that would be great.
Thanks very much
Andrew
