I am loading an HTML file into a WebView and it's automatically prompting to download a SWF file. Is there any way in the latest version to disable the prompt and not even initiate the download at all? Or at least a way to cancel the download after it starts?

Hi,

Yes. You can cancel the download through BeginDownload event:

If you need to cancel the download, you would need to call DownloadItem.Cancel method to cancel the download.

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I tried that but when I run multiple applications (each with one engine) on similar HTML files, I'm still occasionally getting prompted with the download dialog.

Hi,

We are not aware of any problem about this feature. If you continue to have problem, please try to isolate the problem into a test project and send the test project to us. See here for more details:

We will be happy to investigate further as soon as we have that.

Thanks!

I was able to stop the download by putting these two lines in the BeforeDownload handler:
Code: C#
e.Item.Cancel();
e.ShowDialog = false;

and putting this line again in the DownloadUpdated handler:
Code: C#
e.Item.Cancel();
