Description

We would like to know with a simple function call whether the web viewer is currently busy loading a website.

Without implementing necessarily ourselves with navigation started/finished callbacks.

it's a simple flag and I think other browsers offer it. e.g. IE WebBrowser had a status property for this and WKWebView on macOS has an isLoading property.

or is there something like this already otherwise?

Research direction

Start by checking whether WebView2 already exposes a loading-state API or only navigation started/finished callbacks, as described in the issue. Compare the requested behavior with the cited IE WebBrowser status property and WKWebView isLoading property; done means the available approach or a proposed simple loading-state call is clearly documented.
