Till now, it hasn't been possible +for the window/caption control buttons (minimize, maximize, restore, close) to +be rendered and controlled by the browser proccess. This API allows devs to tell +WebView2 that it should render it's own window control buttons. + +# Description +`IsWindowControlsOverlayEnabled` defaults to `FALSE`.
