Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
WebView2 opens remote office documents in a separate independent window:
webview21.Navigate('https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2017/02/file-sample_100kB.docx')
For local documents, if I use SetVirtualHostNameToFolderMapping to map local path to https uri,
it opens viewer window for a moment and immediately closes it, then reports a connection error.
Describe the solution you'd like and alternatives you've considered
- It would be great to have an accessible from the code viewer for Office documents, like the PDF viewer.
- It would be great to open local office documents (with or without SetVirtualHostNameToFolderMapping usage).
