Description
What happened?
I'm hosting the WebView2CompositionControl in a WPF Usercontrol that itself is hosted in a Winforms ElementHost. The app is Winforms.
WebView2CompositionControl_Loaded crashes on startup with a null reference exception, I suspect it is this line...
Window.GetWindow(this).LocationChanged += WebView2CompositionControl_LocationChanged;
Since there isn't a parent WPF window when using an ElementHost. Maybe you can detect if the control is hosted like this and handle the LocationChanged in another way?
Switching to WebView2 WPF control works fine, but I'm unable to overlay controls.
Importance
Important. My app's user experience is significantly compromised.
