WebBrowser Control - Prevent Right-Click

Question

In my application, I have a form that contains a browser control in which I display an SSRS report. I would like to prevent the user from right-clicking in the browser control and being shown the popup menu. Ideally I'd like the right-click to do nothing. Is there a way I can accomplish this?

Solution 1

You can set the IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled equal to false. You will probably also want to set AllowWebBrowserDrop equal to false too so they cant drag a url into the app and have it load.

        webBrowser1.IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled = false;
        webBrowser1.AllowWebBrowserDrop = false;

Solution 2

for any case, winform or wpf:

     private void WebBrowser_LoadCompleted(object sender, System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e)
        {
            ((WebBrowser)sender).InvokeScript("eval", "$(document).contextmenu(function() {    return false;        });");
}

Solution 3

For WPF ===>

wbBrowser.ContextMenu.IsEnabled = false;

Solution 4

Set the IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled property to false.

Works for the Winforms WebBrowser, not the WPF version.

The WPF version seems to be chiefly underfeatured. I personally end up using Forms' WebBrowser through a WindowsFormsHost control almost every time.

@Kaganar Only problem with that approach is you're limited to something like IE 5/6-level capabilities for the HTML renderer, unless you set up registry entities to tell IE to use a later version like 10/11 when your app plug into ieframe.dll.

This is sort of the best answer, as the most elegant one (stackoverflow.com/a/21699086/592212) has problems (at least I've experienced crashes), when WebBrowser (WPF) was included in custom control. Requires jQuery thought.

works perfectly, without requiring any changes to either the loaded page or application's own design or registry :)

This works only if you assign first a ContextMenu, otherwise it is null by default. The question is about preventing context menu from the displayed web page, not this WPF context menu.
