Hey, I am creating a web browser which is a bit like chrome/ ie in the sense that I want the context menu strip to change once a link is hovered upon.

So when you right click on a link it displays a different context menu to the one before if no link has the mouse hovered on them.

Thanks in advance!

Basically when a link is hovered upon I would like to see if it is a link and if it is then to change the web browser's context menu

Solution 1

The context menu should be in only on instance, but the items can be modified in the handler of System.Windows.Controls.ContextMenu.ContextMenuOpening, if you use Forms. For WPF, it will be a handler of the event System.Windows.Controls.ContextMenu.ContextMenuOpening.

Please see my answer to a very similar question:

Sorry -- you misunderstood - I would like code to know if the mouse is hovering on a link in the web browser document.

Thanks

Yes, I misunderstood; as you mentioned "different context menus" I thought this is about making them different; sorry about that.

See this discussion on hovering:

Sorry for this, but does this apply for C#? Thanks

OK, explain more exactly. 1) You have the Browser. What does it mean: using available WebBrowser control or something else, or from scratch; 2) Hovering over what exactly object? -- it this is control, you use control events; if this is the element of HTML mark-up and this is available WebBrowser control, only Javascript can help.

It this is you own Web browser rendering engine (which I doubt), you can do whatever you want based on your own design; so no one can know better then you.

If you finally specify all that, I'll try to answer.
