Universal Windows App- How to disable scroll in WebView?
I ran into this problem while working with a partner. There no good solutions out there hence the blog post. We wanted to disable the scrolling in WebView in a Universal Windows 8.1 app (Windows & Windows Phone). This could be achieved by injecting a JAVA Script ( document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';). Working code is attached
XAML
<Grid>
<WebView
Height="400"
NavigationCompleted="theWebView_NavigationCompleted"
x:Name="theWebView" Source="https://blogs.msdn.com/ashish"
></WebView>
</Grid>
Code
private
async void theWebView_NavigationCompleted(WebView sender, WebViewNavigationCompletedEventArgs
args)
{
string returnStr = await
theWebView.InvokeScriptAsync("eval", new string[] {
SetBodyOverFlowHiddenString });
}
string SetBodyOverFlowHiddenString =
@"function SetBodyOverFlowHidden()
{
document.body.style.overflow =
'hidden';
return 'Set Style to hidden';
}
// now call the function!
SetBodyOverFlowHidden();";
