I can't find this file to try

Apologies -here are a bunch on XAML libraries.  

Its been a while since I've looked at the library generator - I remember there were some issues around passing arrays that I wanted to fix.  I'll have a fresh look at that over the next couple of days, and then just release what I have so we've got something to work with!

Thanks @MattyD for the new "XamlLibs"

I've been trying to create a WebView using what you said in your previous post, but I'm also getting the error -2147467259 Unspecified Error (E_FAIL) right after this line of code:

Local $pControl = IWebViewFactory4_CreateInstanceWithExecutionMode($pCtrl_Fact, $mWebViewExecutionMode["SameThread"])

Since I'm in the dark on this, ... I can only stay tuned ... 🙂

Hey Gianni,

quick update, it looks like the native "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Webview" class is not supported within Xaml islands - but we *might* be able to drop in the external "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.WebView2" control. This is part of WinUI2 I believe.

Its a bit of a rabbit hole - there's WinUI2 and  WinUI3, which seems to be quite different.  As I understand it, WinUI3 is still being developed, but its supposed to provide controls for both Win32 and UAP apps. So that might negate the need for islands, and could be the better option in the long run I guess. (albeit we'll likely need dependencies or a runtime etc.)... Either way I'll throw a bit of time at this, it'll be interesting to see what we can tap into.
