How to deactivate "right click" on WPF Webbrowser Control?

Question

I can't seem to find an answer to this. Does anyone know?

Thanks

Answer 1

Here is the code of a utility class that allows you to deactivate WPF's WebBrowser context menu. It also allows you to suppress script errors (WPF WebBrowser control - how to supress script errors?) and change IE's DOCHOSTUIFLAG.

Usage sample:

public partial class Player : Window
{
    private WebBrowserHostUIHandler _wbHandler;

    public Player()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        ...
        _wbHandler = new WebBrowserHostUIHandler(MyWebBrower);
        _wbHandler.IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled = false;
    }
}

Utility code:

public class WebBrowserHostUIHandler : Native.IDocHostUIHandler
{
    private const uint E_NOTIMPL = 0x80004001;
    private const uint S_OK = 0;
    private const uint S_FALSE = 1;

    public WebBrowserHostUIHandler(WebBrowser browser)
    {
        if (browser == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("browser");

        Browser = browser;
        browser.LoadCompleted += OnLoadCompleted;
        browser.Navigated += OnNavigated;
        IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled = true;
        Flags |= HostUIFlags.ENABLE_REDIRECT_NOTIFICATION;
    }

    public WebBrowser Browser { get; private set; }
    public HostUIFlags Flags { get; set; }
    public bool IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled { get; set; }
    public bool ScriptErrorsSuppressed { get; set; }

    private void OnNavigated(object sender, NavigationEventArgs e)
    {
        SetSilent(Browser, ScriptErrorsSuppressed);
    }

    private void OnLoadCompleted(object sender, NavigationEventArgs e)
    {
        Native.ICustomDoc doc = Browser.Document as Native.ICustomDoc;
        if (doc != null)
        {
            doc.SetUIHandler(this);
        }
    }

    uint Native.IDocHostUIHandler.ShowContextMenu(int dwID, Native.POINT pt, object pcmdtReserved, object pdispReserved)
    {
        return IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled ? S_FALSE : S_OK;
    }

    uint Native.IDocHostUIHandler.GetHostInfo(ref Native.DOCHOSTUIINFO info)
    {
        info.dwFlags = (int)Flags;
        info.dwDoubleClick = 0;
        return S_OK;
    }

    uint Native.IDocHostUIHandler.ShowUI(int dwID, object activeObject, object commandTarget, object frame, object doc)
    {
        return E_NOTIMPL;
    }

    {
        return E_NOTIMPL;
    }

    {
        return E_NOTIMPL;

    {
        return E_NOTIMPL;
    }

    }

        return S_OK;
    }

    {
        pstrURLOut = null;
        return E_NOTIMPL;
    }

    uint Native.IDocHostUIHandler.FilterDataObject(IDataObject pDO, out IDataObject ppDORet)
    {
        ppDORet = null;
        return E_NOTIMPL;
    }

    public static void SetSilent(WebBrowser browser, bool silent)

Answer 2

Reference mshtml

using mshtml;

Then you can do this by accessing the document:

MainBrowser.Navigate("https://www.domain.com");

 MainBrowser.LoadCompleted += (o, args) =>
 {
    var doc = (HTMLDocumentEvents2_Event) MainBrowser.Document;
    doc.oncontextmenu += obj => false;
 };

Answer 3

From the internal WebBrowserSite class:

int UnsafeNativeMethods.IDocHostUIHandler.ShowContextMenu(int dwID, NativeMethods.POINT pt, object pcmdtReserved, object pdispReserved)
{
    // Returning S_FALSE will allow the native control to do default processing,
    // i.e., execute the shortcut key. Returning S_OK will cancel the context menu

    return NativeMethods.S_FALSE;
}

Hard-baked, you cannot override this. Putting the Winforms WebBrower inside a WindowsFormsHost would be a workaround, it's got a smarter implementation of this method that uses the IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled property and allows you to create your own context menu.
