Question

I am using WinForms, i have added a WebBrowser control and would like to able to intercept a context menu firing event for the IE browser since the browser control is an instance of IE.

I mean, i want to intercept the right click menu item click for the browser it self, i said to my self since it’s an IE instance and it’s inside my application, there got to be a way to do it.

I tried to look at the events of the browser control, but nothing there is nothing that would help me.

Thanks.

Here is an example of canceling WebBrowser context menu. This will help you move on:

// wb = WebBrowser control instance name
// attach to the DocumentCompleted event
wb.DocumentCompleted += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(wb_DocumentCompleted);

void wb_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    // when the document loading is completed, attach to the document context showing event
    wb.Document.ContextMenuShowing += new HtmlElementEventHandler(Document_ContextMenuShowing);
}

void Document_ContextMenuShowing(object sender, HtmlElementEventArgs e)
{
    // cancel showing context menu
    e.ReturnValue = false;
    // take a look at the 'e' parameter for everything else, you can get various information out of it
}
