How to enable flash in webview on UWP?

Question

I used a WebView to browse a url, but it needs flash.

I tried

WebViewSettings ws = webView.Settings;
ws.IsJavaScriptEnabled = true;
         


        

Answer 1

Flash is not supported in UWP WebView.

In apps compiled for Windows 10, WebView uses the Microsoft Edge rendering engine to display HTML content. In apps compiled for Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, WebView uses Internet Explorer 11 in document mode. It does not support any Microsoft ActiveX controls or plugins like Microsoft Silverlight or Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

WebView doesn’t do Flash. Or Silverlight. Or PDF. Or any other ActiveX control or plugin.
