Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a handler for the WebBrowser.Navigating event to cancel navigation when a Web page form has not been filled in. The WebBrowser.Document property is used to determine whether the form input field contains a value. This example requires that your form contains a WebBrowser control called webBrowser1.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    webBrowser1.DocumentText =
        "<html><body>Please enter your name:<br/>" +
        "<input type='text' name='userName'/><br/>" +
        "<a href='http://www.microsoft.com'>continue</a>" +
        "</body></html>";
    webBrowser1.Navigating += 
        new WebBrowserNavigatingEventHandler(webBrowser1_Navigating);
}

private void webBrowser1_Navigating(object sender, 
    WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e)
{
    System.Windows.Forms.HtmlDocument document =
        this.webBrowser1.Document;

    if (document != null && document.All["userName"] != null && 
        String.IsNullOrEmpty(
        document.All["userName"].GetAttribute("value")))
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(
            "You must enter your name before you can navigate to " +
            e.Url.ToString());
    }
}
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
    Handles Me.Load

    webBrowser1.DocumentText = _
        "<html><body>Please enter your name:<br/>" & _
        "<input type='text' name='userName'/><br/>" & _
        "<a href='http://www.microsoft.com'>continue</a>" & _
        "</body></html>"

End Sub

Private Sub webBrowser1_Navigating( _
    ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs) _
    Handles webBrowser1.Navigating

    Dim document As System.Windows.Forms.HtmlDocument = _
        webBrowser1.Document
    If document IsNot Nothing And _
        document.All("userName") IsNot Nothing And _
        String.IsNullOrEmpty( _
        document.All("userName").GetAttribute("value")) Then

        e.Cancel = True
        MsgBox("You must enter your name before you can navigate to " & _
            e.Url.ToString())
    End If

End Sub

Remarks

The WebBrowser.Navigating event occurs before the WebBrowser control navigates to a new document. You can handle this event to cancel navigation before it begins if certain conditions have not been met, for example, when the user has not completely filled out a form. To do this, set the Cancel property of the WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs object passed to the event handler to true. You can also use this object to retrieve the location of the new document through the Url property. If the new document will be displayed in a Web page frame, you can retrieve the name of the frame through the TargetFrameName property.
