Description

What happened?

If i subscribe the CoreWebView2 NewWindowRequest event and set e.Handled to true, it opens in a new window instead of doing nothing.

Importance

Blocking. My app's basic functions are not working due to this issue.

Repro steps
  • Add Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebView.Wpf NuGet to a WPF project

  • Add BlazorWebView in the MainWindow and subscribe the BlazorWebViewInitializing event

        <blazor:BlazorWebView x:Name="blazorWebView" HostPage="wwwroot\Index.html" Services="{DynamicResource services}" BlazorWebViewInitializing="OnInitWebView">
            <blazor:BlazorWebView.RootComponents>
                <blazor:RootComponent Selector="#app" ComponentType="{x:Type local:Main}" />
            </blazor:BlazorWebView.RootComponents>
        </blazor:BlazorWebView>
  • Subscribe CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted in the OnInitWebView event handler
       private void OnInitWebView(object sender, BlazorWebViewInitializingEventArgs e)
       {
           blazorWebView.WebView.CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted += CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted;
       }
  • Subscribe NewWindowRequested in the CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted event handler and set e.Handled to true
        private void CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted(object? sender, CoreWebView2InitializationCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            blazorWebView.WebView.CoreWebView2.NewWindowRequested += (sender, e) =>
            {
                e.Handled = true;
            };
        }
  • Start the application and drag and drop a text file on the WebView2

It opens the text file in editor instead of doing nothing.
