Hi Marco,

Interesting... Seems they created a wrapper around MS CEF/Webview2 link.
They mention it works ONLY asynch - must read the pieces on West-Wind again.
AFAIR switched Rick over from synch to asynch but had intermittend problems,
which had NOT surfaced in synch mode, but synch created too many wait states.

Have you checked it out ? If so, please share a bit...
Same goes for everybody else playing with that -
although I wonder if they had tougher use cases than Rich with his
Markdown Monster and Websurge.

If somebody needs some web/JS automation done with that,
and is not under pressure of delivery ASAP:
I am tempted to test capabilities and danger areas there,
as I had a ball automating old Trident for more than a dozen years
around W2K but then spent a few years coding in insurance and banking.

And current stuff is drab enough to thirst for some other areas
just to keep coding and researching muscles tuned.

thx for the tip - now 3 possible ways to skin such cats.
