How can I adapt this code to use put_ChannelSearchKind instead of a folder when initialising with Win32?

@ajtruckle You might just need to point your app to use the Canary WebView2 by following steps here. Initialize your webview2 with CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions.ChannelSearchKind

I would like to adapt my code to use this concept. At the moment I have:

void CWebBrowser::InitializeWebView()
{
	CloseWebView();

	CString subFolder = GetInstallPath();
	CString appData = GetUserDataFolder();

	auto options = Microsoft::WRL::Make<CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions>();
	CHECK_FAILURE(options->put_AdditionalBrowserArguments(L"--allow-file-access-from-files"));

	HRESULT hr = CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions(
		subFolder,
		appData,
		options.Get(),
		Callback<ICoreWebView2CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentCompletedHandler>(
			this,
			&CWebBrowser::OnCreateEnvironmentCompleted).Get());

	if (!SUCCEEDED(hr))
	{
		CString text;
		if (hr == HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND))
		{
			text = L"Cannot found the WebView2 component.";
		}
		else
		{
			text = L"Cannot create the webview environment.";
		}

		ShowFailure(hr, text);
	}
}

I am not sure how to tweak this to use the put_ChannelSearchKind(COREWEBVIEW2_CHANNEL_SEARCH_KIND value) property instead of the folder.

I want to temporarily set it to COREWEBVIEW2_CHANNEL_SEARCH_KIND_LEAST_STABLE.

Start from the Win32 InitializeWebView function shown in the issue and read the linked ICoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions7 documentation for ChannelSearchKind. Check how the options object is passed to CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions. Done means the initialization uses the requested channel-search setting instead of relying on the folder argument.
