How to get the clicked element using webview2 in windows forms

I have a query in windows. forms I am new to this.
I have developed a form where users can open any website from it and upon right click of any element I am displaying the element name, id, and few attribute values in a data grid. For this, I have used webbrowser control.
However, I was facing some errors for a few of the sites so I tried to move to webview2. But here comes the issue
Earlier I used to get the element using the below code
HtmlElement element = webbrowser1.Document.GetElementFromPoint(e.ClientMousePosition);
But now I am unable to retrieve an element by using webview2.
Can someone please help me with this?

You will need to use JavaScript. You will need async methods.
Then, you can get the element by passing a javeScript string.
Point p = e.ClientMousePosition;
string jElement = await webBrowser1.ExecuteScriptAsync($"document.elementFromPoint({p.X},{p.Y})");
The result is JSON. You will need to parse the result to get the element name.
I am trying to figure out the same thing.

Find and click a link with text - Coded UI

I am trying to create a test that finds a specified link on a web page and clicks it. What I am attempting to do is search for the link by specifying the name/text of the link. Is there a way to create a hyperlink object solely by specifying this?
I can do the following to find the link by specifying the href property like this:
BrowserWindow browser = BrowserWindow.Locate("Window Title");
var hyperlink = new HtmlHyperlink(browser);
hyperlink.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlHyperlink.PropertyNames.Href, "link.com");
Mouse.Click(hyperlink);
But I want to do the same thing by specifying the text/name of the link.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I solved it...
This finds the link based on the text:
hyperlink.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlHyperlink.PropertyNames.InnerText, "text");

How to display a website only in the default browser

I'm currently having an issue after a click on an hyperlink inside a wpf Page.In my RequestNavigate or Click (both have the same behavior in this situation) event I do the usual Process.Start(hyperlink.NavigateURI).The problem is that this event opens the webpage both in the default browser (the behavior I'm looking for) and in my wpf Page object as well which I don't want.I was wondering if there was any workaround for this issue? Thanks in advance.

You need to set e.Handled = true to say you have already handled the hyperlink
See Example using Hyperlink in WPF

The reason your current page also loads with the Url is because you are using a Hyperlink. Try using either a Hyperlink with no Url, a button or a styled Label

Use text box in another page to edit code of a button?

I'm creating a web browser. On the "mainpage" it has a button that takes you to the homepage, i'd like to give the user the option of changing the home page on "page1" (settings). on page1 I have "textBox1"(where the user enter desired homepage) and "button1" (set). Could you help me set this up? Is there a way where doing that action can change the source of webBrowser1?

First I would suggest you to download this Programming Windows Phone 7 ebook and explore it to learn Windows phone programming before asking StackOverflow.
Coming to your question,
Create a Settings class in the project and Add a static string property named something like "HomePageUri". Then in your Page1, add the source uri to that "HomePageUri".
Then in your main page, in the OnNavigatedTo event update the WebBrowser's source or you can bind the WebBrowser's source directly to the "HomePageUri" property
Good luck

Gecko usage in C# (geckofx)

There are some things that I didn't find how to do using geckofx:
Get the URL of a clicked link.
Display print preview window.
Does this functionality exist in geckofx? If not, what's the best way
to achieve it in a C# project that uses GeckoWebBrowser to display html pages?
Thanks

To get url of clicked link you can use:
void domClicked(object sender, GeckoDomMouseEventArgs e)
{
if(geckoWebBrowser1.StatusText.StartsWith("http"))
{
MessageBox.Show(geckoWebBrowser1.StatusText);//forward status text string somewhere
}
}
To show print dialog box you can use:
geckoWebBrowser1.Navigate("javascript:print()");

OnNaviagted event should give you the link, and look for the print interfaces nsIPrintingPromptService::ShowPrintDialog in Geckofx.

geckoWebBrowser.url
That will give you the url at any point I believe where geckoWebBrowser is the name of the control, however as pointed out you'll be able to get it from the document completed and navigated events using e.url .

For printing, see this forum thread. Make sure to read it all before starting. Essentially you'll have to patch and recompile GeckoFX.
