I've created a silverlight 4.0 OOB application. Inside a menu of the application I've a WebBrowser where I load some predefined webPages. The issue is that those Pages have some links that open a new Internet Explorer instance. I would like to prevent openning that new window, because my application should be the only one running in the computer. I can´t find any event that could give me the information of my app loosing the focus. I don´t know if I can also capture this in the webBrowser.
thanks for the repply!!
UPDATE:
I've found a workaround, In my case I'm sure that the default browser is Internet Explorer, so changing Internet options the problem dissapears. In Internet Options / Privacy / PopUp blocker / Settings, I've set the blocking level to "High" and have unchecked the "show notification bar" checkbox.
Sounds like some of the links in the webpage have a target="_blank" set on them.

Hi I could do with some help / more experienced eyes.
I have a WPF application which I have started automating some UI tests for using winappdriver, upon further investigation it has embeded html in it - webview, and can fire off requests to open the default browser with app related content - such as help files.
Has anyone had experience in working with this? For example:
open the WPF app,
click on help button on the WPF app which will open a browser and
then continue the test to ensure that the correct help page has been launched with the correct content in relation to the WPF page it was fired from.
Presumably this can be done in my case with chrome driver (winappdriver cannot see the content on the webpage). I have tried using selenium's window handles, but it's like the driver can't see the already open browser page. So I am at a bit of a loss and really not sure what to do.
In previous roles I was used to using Ranorex, which does both windows and web based UI automation. So I have never had any experience using multiple driver types to do the one test.
We have an account on Vimeo where we display some videos for specific viewers. They are privates and we customize the ui's player to disable the share's options. The only thing that the viewer can do it's play the video.
Moreover, we defined a only one specific domain where the videos can be integrated. So we have some webpages on this domain where we integrate the videos.
In a webbrowser like Firefox, Chrome or Edge, if we go on a webpage hosted on this domain, there are no issue to display and play it. But if we use the WPF webbrowser, the webpage can be display with the video, but the Vimeo's player show a message that we can read the video because of privacy settings that we defined.
Why in a browser like Firefox or other, I don't have any issue or message to play the video from a webpage on my domain (what we want) and in the WPF webbrowser, the Vimeo's player don't allow me to play the video on the same webpage in my domain ?
Thank's for help.
The WPF WebBrowser control uses the Internet Explorer ActiveX control embedded within its window. So, it has the same limitations as the installed version of Internet Explorer. By default, it will be using IE 7 compatibility so more modern JavaScript may not work quite right.
You can force the control to use a more modern rendering engine either by using a fixed DOCTYPE in the HTML (but obviously, you don't control Vimeo's HTML) or for any launch of your executable on the machine by setting a registry key as described in this Microsoft article: Browser Emulation
You will need to add an entry for your .exe name. For example, if your application is myviewer.exe, it would be something like this to get IE 11 rendering.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Internet Explorer
Main
FeatureControl
FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
myviewer.exe = (DWORD) 00011000
I can't figure out what is causing this issue on the BlackBerry Z10 where the mobile menu that I created for disinherited.com won't properly function as links.
The menu items won't click through to their href's or show their dropdown menus(javascript).
It works well on a number of other browsers and devices. This is just one that won't work.
Anybody have any suggestions as to what browser compatibility issues I might be missing?
The "About Us" link doesn't do anything for me (even on Desktop browsers).
I would guess that there might be some CSS (a layer maybe) that is interfering with the click/action event. I would suggest connecting remote web inspector to see what exactly is going on.
Did you know that BlackBerry 10 has some of the best remote web debugging capabilities?
Plug your device in via USB
Enable Settings -> Developer Mode
Open http://disinherited.com in the BlackBerry browser
from your desktop browser, open http://169.254.0.1:1337
You are connected to the live content, running on the BlackBerry, from your desktop browser. From there, you can inspect, debug, profile what your website is doing.
There is a web page with a silverlight control, when we use browsers like IE, chrome etc, they are all working.
We develop a desktop program, embed a WebBrowser control to a win form, and navigate to the web page, the silverlight object is not initializing, only shows the silverlight logo, just like the silverlight has not yet installed, but actuall it has installed and working.
Is it the limitation for silverlight or there should be some kind of security settings in IE or the WebBrowser control?
I run silverlight in browsers as well as in a 'client' application (WPF, using a webbrowser type control). I can tell you in my project works without any issues, I've not had to change any settings apart from one - as I run it local host, IE prompts me about running in intranet mode.
You should use fiddler to see the exact URL that is being used in the navigation and to see if there are any errors returning from the web server.
I know it's not exact help, but I can confirm it should work. Hopefully that can help narrow your search a little.
I am using Windows 7 Ult., IE9, Chrome. I have just installed Silverlight 5 and am trying to develop an app using DevExpress DXMap control and Silverlight. However, I am having issues with Silverlight it seems. When I go to this site (http://www.silverlight.net/learn/overview/what's-new-in-silverlight-5/introduction-to-silverlight-5-3d) to watch a video on the Silverlight 3d feature, the video player which I believe is a Silverlight control loads, but then disappears. When I run the app with the DXMap control, the page loads a blank area with only the zoom control, navigation pad, and scale visible.
I have tried finding a solution to this problem, but have not been successful. Any suggestions?
Okay, I found out what was the issue. I thought that not checking the "Host the silverlight application in a new web site" option (since I never had a website as yet) would let the application load on its own, but I had to enable the "Host the silverlight application in a new web site" option to get it associated with a test page.
