[Problem/Bug]: Provide a way to focus the Find popup

[pushkin-]

What happened?

I start a Find session:

CoreWebView2FindOptions findOptions = focusedWindow.ActiveWebView.CoreWebView2.Environment.CreateFindOptions();
focusedWindow.ActiveWebView.CoreWebView2.Find.StartAsync(findOptions);

If I'm focused in the main window, I want Ctrl+F to focus on this popup, so I intercept ctrl+f and call StartAsync again.

Nothing happens, and the popup isn't focused.
Though focus is getting lost which makes this particularly bad. If I remove that second call to StartAsync, focus stays where it was.

(Was about to make a separate issue, but will keep it with this one; if StartAsync doesn't actually move focus to the Find popup or [as is the case in my code where I'm playing around with different workarounds] if StartAsync doesn't even show the Find popup, it would be preferable to not move focus away from where it was since I can now get into a state where focus is gone and tabbing around doesn't restore it)

This works fine in browsers

Importance

Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.
Changing to Important due to the focus issue I mention above.

Hi @pushkin-
I was trying to run on the app that you shared but when I tried opening it on visual studio 2022 it was not opening and was stuck at Loading So, I tried this with a win32 app. I started the find session using StartAsync and then moved the focus to webview2 control. On clicking ctrl+f on webview2 control, I'm able to get the focus back on find popup. I see you have mentioned the same thing regarding F3 in a similar bug. I tried with f3 also and it also seems to work for me on win32.

Assuming that the main window that you have specified in the description might be the window hosting webview control, I clicked on the title bar of the win32 app and intercepted the key events, disabled AcceleratedKeys and called FindNext in case of f3, and FindNext seems to work for me but yeah as you mentioned the focus doesn't went back to Find popup.

Were you doing the same thing? If yes, please specify the difference in the behaviour.

@chetanpandey1266 Yes, I'm doing the same thing as far as I can tell.

Could you maybe try on a WinForms app in case there's some difference there? Not sure why the app wasn't opening for you.

F3 only works when I'm already focused in the Find popup. If I focus on the main webview2 control, then it doesn't work. Here is the relevant code I'm working with (I intercept Ctrl+F, F3, Shift+F3, and call this API):

public void DoFind(ShowPageSearchPopupOpts? options)
{
	Window win = GetFocusedWindow(); // can just replace with the main window
	CoreWebView2FindWrapper findInterface = win.ActiveWebView.CoreWebView2.Find;
	if (options?.Continue == true)
	{
		if (options.Forward == true) // F3
		{
			findInterface.FindNext();
		}
		else // Shift+F3
		{
			findInterface.FindPrevious();
		}
	}
	else
	{
		CoreWebView2FindOptions findOptions = win.ActiveWebView.CoreWebView2.Environment.CreateFindOptions();
		findOptions.FindTerm = string.Empty;
		findInterface.StartAsync(findOptions); // Ctrl+F
	}
}
