WebBrowser overlaps other controls in WPF? #356

Open sukesh-ak opened 4 years ago

sukesh-ak commented 4 years ago

I am looking to display some WPF controls as overlay on top of web browser control. The moment you add webbrowser control, all other controls on the Page seize to exist.

Is this a bug or how the control will be in future too?

has anything update?

novac42 commented 1 year ago

@SkyIsWhite we had a draft design and still working on implementation. Will update the status once there's further progress to next step.

Should we give up hope on this or is this ever gonna be solved? This is a major issue for us.

paulocesarborges commented 10 months ago

Any update in this matter?

champnic commented 10 months ago

We had a design review today to close on the general architecture, and reviewed an in-progress prototype displaying a button on top of a WebView2. We have a couple remaining issues to resolve with this, but overall the approach looks promising. I'll reach out when we have code available to try out in a prerelease SDK package. Thanks!

Hi everyone, has there been any progress on this task? I really need it for work. Thanks.

I really hope that this will work, because it is really inconvenient to hide webview2 separately. Looking forward to the pre-release version as soon as it is available. Thank you very much for your efforts!

@champnic is the fix specific to WebView2 or will it work for other Airspace issues with WPF? I'm trying to use the MediaElement from WindowsSDK and running into the same 'always on top' issues.

Hi Guys! any update in this matter? Happy 2024 everyone (unless this doesn't come out 🥲)

simon1689 commented 6 months ago

Please give us some update

victorhuangwq commented 6 months ago

This is still currently being worked on. We will update on this thread when it's available to be used in the pre-release SDK

paulocesarborges commented 4 months ago

any update?

Crypties commented 4 months ago

@victorhuangwq E.T.A. on availability through the pre-release SDK? Hopefully you can understand we're not asking too much after waiting for more than a decade on this issue. You lost this race against Duke Nukem Forever years ago and AGI-like LLM about 4 years ago, but you still got a shot at it with Half-Life 3 and the singularity, right? ;) Any encouragement at all?

paulocesarborges commented 4 months ago

@victorhuangwq @champnic @novac42 Any update?? Please, say yes.

champnic commented 3 months ago

The code continues to go through code review and testing. You can test out an earlier version of it here: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/286#issuecomment-1937013149

I would estimate it's available for further testing by you all in the next prerelease SDK, or the one after. It's a big rewrite of the control, so expect some to run into some bugs before we push it to the release SDK as well.

ChrisPulman commented 3 months ago

As this is a similar issue to the one I raised some years ago, I figured I should post a solution that may satisfy at least some of those suffering with this issue.

This topic are open for more than 4 years! 🚀🤠 Maybe in the next Olympics we can have the pre-release containing this correction!

In fact, the Microsoft web browser control is unstable even as a pdf browser in a separate WPF window, when deployed in different environments. I can't imagine that I would build some key functionality on this Microsoft component - even if they fix something there. Microsoft is interested in Azure and earnings from it. The development of Visual Studio (full of errors, slow), components (like this one) or Windows OS (it still has windows from Windows 7) has been secondary for decades.
