WebView2 file download notification box

Question

I have what seems like a stupid problem. I have been working on a WebView2 app for a couple of days now. Prior to today, when I would download a file within the app, I would get the usual download notification box in the lower left. Now I'm getting this popup window on the upper right. I don't know what has changed. I've gone back to old code in which I didn't see this behavior and it does it there also. I need to move it back to the lower left. Does anyone know what I have done or how to change this back? Thanks for any help. Kevin.

Answer 1

I suggest you take full control of the dialog (I don't think you can easily just move it).

You do that by subscribing to the CoreWebView2.DownloadStarting event: CoreWebView2.DownloadStarting.

The CoreWebView2DownloadStartingEventArgs has a property DownloadOperation (see CoreWebView2DownloadOperation giving you access to the progress.

Here you can totally define, what should happen, in your case showing a progress dialog.
