+WPF Airspace - WebView2CompositionControl
+===
+
+# Background
+For a long time, the WebView2 WPF control has had airspace issues, where the WebView2 control will always
+be the top-most control in the WPF app. Any WPF element in the same location as the WebView2 control will
+end up below the WebView2 control and be "invisible" to the end-user. This issue stems from the fact that
+our WPF control uses the WPF HwndHost to host the Win32 WebView2 control, and HwndHost has a long-standing
+issue with airspace. This issue has existed for over a decade, and you can read more about in-depth efforts to fix
+it in general in WPF here:
+https://dwayneneed.github.io/wpf/2013/02/26/mitigating-airspace-issues-in-wpf-applications.html
+
+Solving this issue for WebView2 necessitates moving away from the HwndHost and the windowed hosting model
+of WebView2, and instead use visuals to host the WebView2. To avoid compatibility issues and introducing
+new regressions in the existing control, we decided to create a new WebView2 WPF control, called the WebView2CompositionControl.
+
+# Examples
+In this example we create a WebView2CompositionControl in exactly the same way we would a regular
+WebView2 control in WPF. Additionally, we place a pink Label that appears ABOVE the WebView2CompositionControl.
+If you were to instead do this with the regular WebView2 control, the Label would be hidden behind it.
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+
+# API Details
+If you are building a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) app and using the WebView2 control, you
+may find that your app runs into "airspace" issues, where the WebView2 control will always show up
+on top and hide any WPF elements in the same location, even if you try to specify the WPF elements
+to be above the WebView2 control (using visual tree order or the z-index property, for example). To
+solve this issue you should use the WebView2CompositionControl.
+
+The WebView2CompositionControl is a drop-in replacement
+for the standard WPF WebView2 control - both the WebView2 control and the WebView2CompositionControl
+implement the [Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf.IWebView2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.web.webview2.wpf.iwebview2?view=webview2-dotnet-1.0.2739.15)
+interface, as well as derive from FrameworkElement (`FrameworkElement -> HwndHost -> WebView2`, and
+`FrameworkElement -> Control -> WebView2CompositionControl`). So anywhere you use
+WebView2, you can instead change to a WebView2CompositionControl without changing your
+code.
+
+We chose the name "WebView2CompositionControl" because it matches our naming convention
+for visual hosting WebView2, which uses the CoreWebView2CompositionController instead
+of the CoreWebView2Controller.
+
+# Appendix
+At a high level, the WebView2CompositionControl instantiates a CoreWebView2 in much the same way as
+the regular WebView2 control, but connects to it and controls it using the CoreWebView2CompositionController
+instead of the CoreWebView2Controller. The composition controller is given a WinComp visual to draw into,
+and this visual is used to create a GraphicsCaptureSession. When frames from this capture session are
+captured they are they rendered into a WPF Image element that's part of the control.

+Full public/protected API:
+```cs
+///
+/// Visual hosting version of the WebView2 control.
+///
+///
+/// This control is effectively a wrapper around the [WebView2 COM
+/// API](https://aka.ms/webview2). You can directly access the underlying
+/// ICoreWebView2 interface and all of its functionality by accessing the
+/// property. Some of the most common COM
+/// functionality is also accessible directly through wrapper
+/// methods/properties/events on the control.
+///
+/// Upon creation, the control's property will be
+/// null. This is because creating the is an
+/// expensive operation which involves things like launching Edge browser
+/// processes. There are two ways to cause the to
+/// be created:
+///
+///
+/// Call the method. This is
+/// referred to as explicit initialization.
+///
+///
+/// Set the property (which could be done from
+/// markup, for example). This is referred to as implicit initialization.
+/// Either option will start initialization in the background and return
+/// back to the caller without waiting for it to finish.
+/// To specify options regarding the initialization process, either pass
+/// your own to or set the control's property prior to initialization.
+///
+///
+///
+/// When initialization has finished (regardless of how it was triggered or
+/// whether it succeeded) then the following things will occur, in this
+/// order:
+///
+///
+/// The control's event
+/// will be invoked. If you need to perform one time setup operations on
+/// the prior to its use then you should
+/// do so in a handler for that event.
+///
+///
+/// If initialization was successful and a Uri has been set to the property then the control will start navigating to it in
+/// the background (i.e. these steps will continue without waiting for the
+/// navigation to finish).
+///
+///
+/// The Task returned from will
+/// complete.
+///
+///
+///
+/// For more details about any of the methods/properties/events involved in
+/// the initialization process, see its specific documentation.
+///
+/// Because the control's is a very heavyweight
+/// object (potentially responsible for multiple running processes and
+/// megabytes of disk space) the control implements to provide an explicit means to free it.
+/// Calling will release the
+/// and its underlying resources (except any that are also being used by other
+/// WebViews), and reset to null. After has been called the cannot be
+/// re-initialized, and any attempt to use functionality which requires it
+/// will throw an .
+///
+/// Accelerator key presses (e.g. Ctrl+P) that occur within the control will
+/// fire standard key press events such as OnKeyDown. You can suppress the
+/// control's default implementation of an accelerator key press (e.g.
+/// printing, in the case of Ctrl+P) by setting the Handled property of its
+/// EventArgs to true. Also note that the underlying browser process is
+/// blocked while these handlers execute, so:
+///
+///
+/// You should avoid doing a lot of work in these handlers.
+///
+///
+/// Some of the WebView2 and CoreWebView2 APIs may throw errors if
+/// invoked within these handlers due to being unable to communicate with
+/// the browser process.
+///
+///
+/// If you need to do a lot of work and/or invoke WebView2 APIs in response to
+/// accelerator keys then consider kicking off a background task or queuing
+/// the work for later execution on the UI thread.
+///
+/// This control extends in order to host the image
+/// displaying WebView's content using template. This has some
+/// implications regarding the control's input and output behavior as well as
+/// the functionality it "inherits" from and .
+///
+/// The content of is rendered by an .
+/// By default, of WebView2CompositionControl
+/// is set to true. This can prevent the from becoming blurry at certain dimensions,

In particular, WebView2 overrides HwndHost.BuildWindowCore, HwndHost.DestroyWindowCore, and HwndHost.TabIntoCore. WebView2CompositionControl overrides the IKeyboardInputSite properties/methods.
+2. WebView2 uses windowed HWND hosting and the CoreWebView2Controller, whereas WebView2CompositionControl uses visual hosting and the CoreWebView2CompositionController. As such the WebView2CompositionControl needs to handle and forward appropriate input to the composition controller, instead of input going directly to the WebView2 HWNDs. To do this it overrides an extra set of input events, such as OnMouseDown/Up/Move/Wheel/DoubleClick, and OnTouchDown/Up/Move.
