Re: Context Menu for Embedded WebBRowser

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I don't remember how the WebBrowser control works. Doesn't it have some
means of notifying the application of various things? I'm not a Pocket PC
programmer, so I just embed the Internet Explorer ActiveX control in my
code, when I need a browser, and it tells me all kinds of things about
what's going on, most of them useless. The WebBrowser wrapping was designed
as a much simpler Web browser interface, so maybe it doesn't tell you that.
I can't think of any way, other than what you've already tried (you've tried
this with PIE, right? Making sure that you're trapping messages for all
windows up the stack from the immediate parent of the browser window?), to
figure out what else it might be doing; you don't get WebBrowser source
code...
