IE webpage dialoge issue in C# windows app

Question

I am working on one windows application where one of the client web application is docked inside this windows application.

It is docked using window handle of application (set parent window command).

ISSUE:

when i click a button on client application in normal IE (not docked) it opens up model dialoge. But when i try to do same when docked, it opens in different tab of IE web page and not as dialoge. This is leading to freezing of entire window application.

Can you help with this how to prevent this behaviour.

What I have tried:

I tried disabling menu bar and tool bar, but it opens in separate IE if i do that.

Simple: don't mess with the windows belonging to other applications.

If you want to show a web browser inside your application, use the WebBrowser control (WPF[^] | Windows Forms[^]) to embed the IE rendering engine. (NB: This will be stuck in IE7 rendering mode unless you modify the registry[^].)

Or use something like CefSharp - Fast web browser for WinForms and WPF Apps[^] to embed the Chrome rendering engine.
