Eliminate popup windows

[MikkyThomeon]

I have an app that uses the webbrowser control. I need to find a way to eliminate popup windows from popping up whenever the browser surfs to a page that has a popup window.

I can use CloseWindow, but I want to guarantee that no other windows appear. No user intervention occurs and the program must run without the popup windows.

Disable the java script and reunable it on exit as most of the sites use window.open function of java script maybe look for that !

<any> Toolbar sucks.

I beg to disagree, Spajeoly. The google bar is quite effective. (although I opt for better browsers than IE for my own use such as Opera that have built in pop-up blocking)

i donno but for some reason i too dont like extra tool bars

i agree Spajeoly

Heh, I am a true lover of Google, but the fact of any program burrowing into Internet Explorer like a tick bothers me. There are plenty of examples out there that make me not like any toolbar. Lets say for instance, Hotbar. Not that Google would ever do anything to make themselves deserve to die like Hotbar has, but, as always, it only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch. With some people anyways, me being one of the some.

To stop popups on my own computer I just keep it free of spyware & adware.

Mikky wants to have them not pop up in his program from a webbrowser control. I think there is a setting in the properties for it to not allow any new windows.. I forget what it is since I never use this control, anyone help me out on this property setting?

No problem mate

i think u gotta put (resolved) in your post...

I am @home on the weekend. Will try it back@work. Thanks for all of your responses.


My program automatically looks up content on webpages and downloads appropriate content. I will have to see if this idea works first. The program navigates to a url, then stores all the links from that page to a table, as well as searching the page for information. It then goes to the first unlooked up link and then repeats the process in a recursive loop!!! Its an awesome concept and I thought I was the first to invent it until I was searching on the web a few days back and saw another program that did the same. I would appreciate some feedback

I tried the suggestions but they did not work accurately. There is a similar post here

This method sounds good. But now there is another thing I would like to have: I do not want the webbrowser control to display the download dialog for files and I do not want to download those files.

Any assistance plz'ni would gr8full.

[MikkyThomeon]

Yup - the example in the link able did work OK. Anyone know how to cancel file downloads??
