VB6 WebView2-Binding (Edge-Chromium)

Have just finished a Binding to the new WebView2-BrowserControl (based on Edge-Chromium).

I've included this Binding (all in a single Class, named cWebView2) in the new RC6-version of the RichClient-lib
(please download this new version 6 from its usual place, at vbRichClient.com first).

The new BaseDll-package of the RC6 now includes the official WebView2Loader.dll (version 1.0.674),
which the cWebView2-class then works against.

Please note, that the above Binding will currently require, that you install the larger:
"Evergreeen WebView2-Runtime" (not included in the RC6-BasePackage).
Here the official MS-DownloadLink for the evergreen-installer: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703

So, after ensuring the mentioned two prerequisites:
- the Dlls of the new RC6-package in a folder of your choice + a registered RC6.dll
- and the successfull installation of the "evergreen-WebView2-runtime" via the MS-download-link above

You should now be able to test this new Edge-Browser-Binding (even on Win7-OSes) via this little VB6-Demo:
WebView2Demo.zip

Please let me know, when something is not working as expected -
or when you want me to include a certain extra-functionality into the new cWebView2-class.

I want to "finalize" the new RC6-functionality at the end of the year (then switching Binary-Compatibility on).

Happy testing... :)
