Description

With the CHtmlView class I was able to select all the text and copy to the clipboard like this:

void CChristianLifeMinistryHtmlView::CopyToClipboard()
{
    ExecWB(OLECMDID_COPY, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, nullptr, nullptr);
}

void CChristianLifeMinistryHtmlView::SelectAll()
{
    ExecWB(OLECMDID_SELECTALL, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, nullptr, nullptr);
}

I am trying to find out how to do the same with the new WebView2 API.
