SpellCheck Suggestions for Custom Context Menus

Enables host apps rendering custom context menus to asynchronously retrieve and apply spellcheck suggestions for misspelled words in editable fields.

New Interfaces:

ICoreWebView2ContextMenuRequestedEventArgs2 extends ICoreWebView2ContextMenuRequestedEventArgs

  • GetSpellCheckSuggestionsAsync(handler) : Registers a one-shot completion handler that fires exactly once with spellcheck suggestions. Fires immediately if suggestions are already resolved, or deferred until ready.
  • ApplySpellCheckSuggestion(suggestion) : Replaces the misspelled word in the focused editable field with the given suggestion. Handles cross-frame routing internally.

ICoreWebView2GetSpellCheckSuggestionsCompletedHandler

  • Invoke(errorCode, suggestions) — Callback delivering an HRESULT and an ICoreWebView2StringCollection of suggestion strings.

Usage flow:

  1. Host receives ContextMenuRequested
  2. Calls GetSpellCheckSuggestionsAsync with a handler
  3. Handler fires with suggestions -> host populates menu
  4. User selects -> host calls ApplySpellCheckSuggestion

No synchronous readiness query, the single async call covers both immediate and deferred resolution.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces a new API review spec to extend the existing WebView2 ContextMenuRequested customization flow with spellcheck support, enabling hosts that render custom context menus to surface and apply spellcheck suggestions.

Changes:

  • Adds a new spec describing custom-context-menu spellcheck scenarios and motivation.
  • Provides Win32 C++ and C# example flows for querying suggestions, handling async readiness, and applying a suggestion.
  • Proposes new Win32 COM interfaces (ICoreWebView2ContextMenuTarget2, ICoreWebView2ContextMenuRequestedEventArgs2) plus corresponding .NET/WinRT projections.
