In my WebView control, when I click on an RSS Feed subscription link, I can capture it as follows:

WebView2_BeforeRequestLoad() -> "https://gettingthingsdone.com/gtd-times/rss2"

In a regular Browser, clicking on a link gives me the choice of opening the link with a default program. In the EO Webview, it opens up the Source Code in a new page.

I can stop the loading of this Source Code with a WebView.StopLoad() command, but that doesn't accomplish what I want it to do, which is to open the URL with an app.

I can have my code do a Process.Start("https://gettingthingsdone.com/gtd-times/rss2") and it will ask for a default app in my default Windows browser. But, I'd like to be able to do that in my EO WebView.
Code: Visual Basic.NET 

    





How do I capture this event in my EO WebView and open it with a default RSS program?

		    Hi,

You pretty much does it the way you described: handling BeforeRequestLoad and then call Process.Start. 

I am not sure what you meant by "In a regular browser, clicking on a link gives me the choice of opening the link with a default program". If you open the above link in Google Chrome browser, it will load the page and display the source of the page. Because EO.WebBrowser is based on the same Chromium browser engine Google Chrome use, it would have the same behavior.

Thanks
