In a recent update to the WebBrowser control an issue was fixed for webview state;

* Fixed moving a WebView from one parent window to another parent window does not retain WebView state issue;

I'm curious if there is any possibility that we could serialize out and deserialize in WebView state so that it can be utilized in more complex scenarios?

Hi,

No. There is no way for you to serialize WebView state. The fix involved was in fact a "delay destroy" feature ---- when the parent window of a WebView is destroyed, instead of destroying the WebView immediately, we schedule the destruction with a time delay. If within that delay the user put that WebView back onto the screen (into another parent window), then the scheduled destruction will be canceled. This logic wasn't working properly in older build and it has been fixed in our last build.

Thanks!
James
