Is it possible to use WebView2 in Activex?


Can we use WebView2 inside an instance of Activex? Is there any embodiment that I can consult while I develop mine? We want to avoid the possible costs in the company in advance otherwise.


Solution

  • It should be possible to use WebView2 in ActiveX, but it is not directly supported.

    The WebView2 nuget package includes a COM interface based API, but it does not implement ActiveX support. It should be possible to implement an ActiveX control on top of this, but I don't know of any public implementation. Searching on github for WebView2 and ActiveX I do see one project that may be helpful but I have no knowledge on it.
