How to catch a click on webbrowser :(

[Aleyna[]]

Hi

I want to catch the clicks for a special hyperlink on a webbrowser component
in order to activate the print setup section of my program. I cannot use
javascript because I must handle the printable document, in fact, create it
dynamically using program. I got stuck here, how can I do that?
Can I use a special javascript command that sends browser any message and
warn it or something like that?
Any idea?


appreciate any help...
Thanks

The HTML page hosted in WebBrowser component can call back the application.
You need to add a little thing in the HTML file to handle the onclick event
of the special link:
Like this:
<a href="whatever" onclick="window.external.Test('called from script
code')">CLICK ME</a>

When clicked, the page will call your apps Test method passing the string as
a parameter.
This way you can make callbacks from the page to your app.
Just remember to set the ObjectForScripting property to this
(webBrowser1.ObjectForScripting=this.

Interesting!

I have a similar need: I need to access the DOM element a user identifies
with the mouse. (Background: user is interested in certain parts of a
webpage and wants to have the data extracted). Is there a possibility to
find the element in the DOM the mouse is over or clicked etc, without
adding anything to the page?

Tnx!
