BUG: The BeforeNavigate2 Event of WebBrowser Control Does Not Fire If Hosted in a Visual C# .NET ApplicationThis article was previously published under Q325079 For a Microsoft Visual Basic .NET version of this
article, see
311298
(http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=311298/EN-US/
)
. If you sink the BeforeNavigate2 event of the WebBrowser control in a C# .NET application, the
event does not fire. To work around this problem, hook up event handlers to the
non-default source interface, in this case, the DWebBrowserEvents interface.
This means you have to implement the DWebBrowserEvents and its methods (of
which there are 17).
public void BeforeNavigate(string URL, int Flags, string TargetFrameName, ref object PostData, string Headers, ref bool Cancel)
{
MessageBox.Show("C# DWebBrowser::BeforeNavigate event fired!", "DWebBrowser Event");
}
public void PropertyChange(string Property){}
public void NavigateComplete(string URL){}
public void WindowActivate(){}
public void FrameBeforeNavigate(string URL, int Flags, string TargetFrameName, ref object PostData, string Headers, ref bool Cancel){}
public void NewWindow(string URL, int Flags, string TargetFrameName, ref object PostData, string Headers, ref bool Processed){}
public void FrameNewWindow(string URL, int Flags, string TargetFrameName, ref object PostData, string Headers, ref bool Processed){}
public void TitleChange(string Text){}
public void DownloadBegin(){}
public void DownloadComplete(){}
public void WindowMove(){}
public void WindowResize(){}
public void Quit(ref bool Cancel){}
public void ProgressChange(int Progress, int ProgressMax){}
public void StatusTextChange(string Text){}
public void CommandStateChange(int Command, bool Enable){}
public void FrameNavigateComplete(string URL){}
COM classes advertise that they support events by implementing an
interface named IConnectionPointContainer, and by returning connection point
objects by means of this interface. Connection point objects, which implement
IConnectionPoint, are provided by the connectable objects, representing a
collection of events. The System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace
defines common COM interfaces, such as IConnectionPointContainer and
IConnectionPoint. These definitions can be confusing because each interface has
been renamed with the prefix "UCOM" added. The "U" indicates unmanaged; "COM"
indicates that the interface is originally defined in COM. Under
InteropServices, the IConnectionPointContainer and IConnectionPoint interfaces
are defined as follows:
- UCOMIConnectPointContainer
- UCOMIConnectionPoint
Although the names of the interfaces are different, COM
recognizes no difference between a "UCOM" interface and its corresponding
unmanaged definition. When developing code, you must do the
following:
- Obtain the IConnectionPointContainer interface.
private UCOMIConnectionPoint icp;
UCOMIConnectionPointContainer icpc = (UCOMIConnectionPointContainer)axWebBrowser1.GetOcx();
- Obtain the IConnectionPoint interface for a specified IID
(event interface they want to subscribe to) by using the IConnectionPointContainer::FindConnectinPoint method.
Guid g = typeof(DWebBrowserEvents).GUID;
icpc.FindConnectionPoint(ref g, out icp);
Using the IConnectionPoint interface Advise and Unadvise methods, clients can hook and unhook callback interface pointers.
A client calls IConnectionPoint::Advise with the IUnknown pointer to itself, and then Advise passes back an integral cookie that uniquely identifies the
connection. On a successful return, Advise contains the connection cookie. The pdwCookie value must be unique for each connection to any particular
instance of a connection point. - Use the IConnectionPoint::Advise method to establish a connection between the connection point
object and the client's sink.
icp.Advise(this, out cookie);
- Use the IConnectionPoint::Unadvise method to disconnect a connection between the connection point
object and the client's sink.
Visual C# .NET Sample Code: Paste the following code into a Visual C# .NET Windows form
module:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using SHDocVw;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace wbcs
{
/// <summary>

UCOMIConnectionPointContainer icpc = (UCOMIConnectionPointContainer)axWebBrowser1.GetOcx(); // ADDed
Guid g = typeof(DWebBrowserEvents).GUID;
icpc.FindConnectionPoint(ref g, out icp);
icp.Advise(this, out cookie);
}
/// <summary>
/// Clean up any resources being used.
/// </summary>
protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
{
if( disposing )
{
// Release event sink
if (-1 != cookie) icp.Unadvise(cookie);
cookie = -1;
if (components != null)
{
components.Dispose();
}
}
base.Dispose( disposing );
}

BeforeNavigate2 Event of WebBrowser Control Does Not Fire
Steps to Reproduce the Behavior- Start Visual Studio .NET.
- Create a new Visual C# .NET Windows Application
project.
- Right-click in the Toolbox window, and then click Customize Toolbox.
- On the COM Components tab, select the Microsoft Web Browser check box.
Notice that the WebBrowser control is added
to the Controls tab in the toolbox that you chose to customize from. - Drag the WebBrowser control from the toolbox to the Visual C# .NET form.
AxWebBrowser1 is the default name.
- Double-click the form to open the code window for the Form1_Load method. Add the following code for the Form1_Load method:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
object oURL = "http://www.microsoft.com";
object oEmpty = "";
axWebBrowser1.Navigate2(ref oURL, ref oEmpty, ref oEmpty, ref oEmpty, ref oEmpty);
}
- To display the events for the object, in the AxWebBrowser1 Properties window, click Events, and then follow these steps:
- In the list of available events, click the BeforeNavigate2 event to create an event handler.
- In the box to the right of the event name, type the
name of the handler TestBeforeNavigate2, and then press
ENTER. The Code Editor appears; the code for the form is displayed, and an
event handler method is generated in the code.
NOTE: the Events Properties Window toolbar is available only when a
form or control designer is active in the context of a Visual C# .NET
project.
- Add the following code to the AxWebBrowser1
BeforeNavigate2 event handler method event:
private void TestBeforeNavigate2(object sender, AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_BeforeNavigate2Event e)
{
MessageBox.Show ("BeforeNavigate event fired!");
}
- On the Debug menu, click Start to run the code. Alternatively, you can press F5 to run the
code.
Notice that the WebBrowser control opens the Microsoft Web
site. However, notice that the BeforeNavigate2 event does not fire before it browses to the Microsoft Web
site.
