The WebBrowser
control in WPF is inherited from theUIElement
, but we cannot register event handlers in UIElement
events. Why is it? At WPF WebBrowser Mouse Events not working as expected, it is answered but I still cannot understand.
Anyway, hooking up handlers to the events provided by the document of the WebBrowser
can catch most mouse events but cannot use 'Back' & 'Forward' navigation button events. Since the internet explorer can do this, I think it is possible. Is there any way to solve this issue?
UPDATE:
In this question, 'Back' & 'Forward' navigation buttons
mean XButton1 and XButton2 in 5-button mouse system.
UPDATE2: I fixed this question with the Navid Rahmani's answer. I'd think someone will need this answer, so I attach main part. If finding any problem or more reasonable solution, please let me know.
//This code assumes the `WebBrowser` field named _webBrowser is already initiated.
