Does WebView Control support design mode?

Question

I found that, WebView control (For Windows 8 Metro style app) is the one that works same as the Web Browser control for Windows Form. Can I turn 'DesignMode' = ON of this Web View control ?

Answer 1

You can't use the MSHTML.dll in a Metro App and the WebView does NOT support HTML Editing.

So what is left is building it yourself or finding someone who did it for you. At the moment I am not aware of anyone having built an HTML editor for Metro apps.

A work-around might be to try and use TinyMCE in a HTML5/javascript Metro App. The author of this article has tried it but hasn't succeeded yet.
