beforenavigate2

I have a BHO that is supposed to intercept the DISPID_BEFORENAVIGATE2 events when Windows Explorer is browsing the local disks. It works well in XP and Vista, but stopped working in Windows 7 RC. Turns out, Windows 7 RC stopped sending the DISPID_BEFORENAVIGATE2 events when the local folders are browsed! It does send other events to my BHO (such as DISPID_DOWNLOADBEGIN, etc.), but I need DISPID_BEFORENAVIGATE2. Can anyone confirm this and/or offer a possible workaround? Thanks! Paul Accisano Well, it's over a year late, but here's a workaround: Simply set an API hook on IShellBrowser:

As far as I understand, WPF's Brwoser control is a wrapper of the ie Active-X control. The later has a BeforeNavigate2 Method, while I don't find this in the WPF WebBrowser control. Is there a way I can work around this? Thx! Marc Yes. The WebBrowser control of WPF is really braindead. On top of that it is even sealed. You have to use the WebBrowser control of Windows.Forms and embed it in a WindowsFormsHost. Additionally you have to derive a class from WebBrowser and do some COM magic in it. Make a UserControl like this: <UserControl x:Class="MP.Assistant.WpfClient.DialogContentControls
