Description

What happened?

This is my code:

void CWebBrowser::ShowFullScreen(const CString strFilePath)
{
	if (m_pImpl->m_webView)
	{
		CRect rctSize;
		CWnd::GetDesktopWindow()->GetWindowRect(rctSize);
		rctSize.DeflateRect(10,10);
		CString strJS;

		strJS.Format(L"window.open('%s', 'customWindow', 'width=%d, height=%d, top=%d, left=%d')",
			strFilePath.IsEmpty() ? GetLocationURL() : EncodeFilePathToUrl(strFilePath),
			rctSize.Width(), rctSize.Height(), rctSize.top, rctSize.left);

		m_pImpl->m_webView->ExecuteScript(strJS,
			Callback<ICoreWebView2ExecuteScriptCompletedHandler>(
				[](HRESULT error, PCWSTR result) -> HRESULT { return S_OK; })
			.Get());
	}
}

It works fine but:

  1. The maximized popup window is modeless. So i can still independently use my app. Ideally it should be modal.
  2. If I shut my app down (and thus webview2) this popup remains on screen. Ideally it should shutdown automatically.

Advice welcome.

Importance

Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.
