Navigate('bing.com')useNavigateToString()and load some HTML with javascriptwebviewWindow->NavigateToString(LR"( <html><head> <script> window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', ()=>{ document.body.querySelector('div').textContent = 'Goodbye'; }; </script> </head> <body> <div>Hello</div> <div>World</div> </body> </html>)"); - Run the app and open the developer
- There is no script available on the
Sourcestab

Research direction
Start with the Win32 WebView2GettingStarted solution and reproduce the issue by replacing Navigate('bing.com') with NavigateToString() using the HTML and JavaScript shown. Inspect the developer tools Sources tab and compare the behavior with a normal navigation. Done means the inline script loaded through NavigateToString is visible and debuggable there.
