Hello,
I want to open a dialog before downloading a file which asks if the file should be downloaded or opened directly. Is that possible?
Best regards
Marius Kramer

Hi,
You can try to handle ShouldForceDownload event and set e.ForceDownload to true in your event handler to force the browser to treat the page as a download. Note that this event is fired for both the top frame and iframes.
Thanks!

Hi,
thank you for your quick response.
I don’t want to force the download, but I want to give the user the possibility to open it without downloading the file.
regards

That's what force download is for. If a page can be directly opened by the browser, it will be displayed (opened) instead of being downloaded --- unless you force it as a download in this case. So if you force download, it will be downloaded, if you don't, it will be opened.

okay ... monday was a lie :D ...
now I've solved the problem ...
using something like this:
private void BeforeDownload(object sender, BeforeDownloadEventArgs e)
{
e.ShowDialog = false;
}
private void DownloadCompleted(object sender, DownloadEventArgs e)
{
if (File.Exists(@e.Item.FullPath.ToString()))
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@e.Item.FullPath.ToString());
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Unable to open file: " + @e.Item.FullPath.ToString());
}
}
thanks :)
