[Problem/Bug]: On Share , new window is opened , but event not coming on newWindowRequested

[rahullli]

What happened?

I am trying to share the URL , so it is opening in a new Window , but there is no event on the newWindowRequested
This is the code I am using
WebView.CoreWebView2.NewWindowRequested += CoreWebView2_NewWindowRequested;

So what I want is , I should get that event on the newWindowRequested event handler such that I can prevent it from opening in the new window.

Thanks for the bug report @rahullli - I've added this bug to our internal tracker. It does seem like this should be triggering the New Window event

I don't understand the question,

when I click on the share menu item,

this open a special windows,
and I don't think this is a web page with an url,
so it cannot have a NewWindowRequested event.

(runtime last 129.xxxxxxxx) / Win10.

So basically , I need to stop opening these special windows , as there is no event coming on the NewWindowRequested , I want to know from where exactly this window is opening , such that I can prevent it.
This Special window is being opened from the inspect and also from the share menu item .

what you can do is to remove the "Share" menu item, it is quite possible.

Yeah its one way , but I don't want to remove menu items which are opening these new window .

[jls28]

If you don't want remove the menu item I don't understand what you want

disable menu item ?

perform another thing if the user use this menu item ?

I want the user to use menu Items functionality such as Share and Inspect , but as they are opening a new window , I want to open it in the same window , that's what I am looking for .

Ok, I don't think it is possible.
newWindowRequested is when a web link is requested to be open in a new window,
or when a javascript window.open(url, '_blank'...) is called.

Yeah , looking for the webview team to confirm if there exist any event handler for the same.
