Imports EO
Public Event BeforeDownload As EO.WebBrowser.BeforeDownloadHandler
Public Class Form1
Private m_WebView As New EO.WebBrowser.WebView
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Hi, I am not exactly sure if I understand your question. When the browser requests a Url from the server, the result will be either "dispalyed" or "downloaded". When the resource is "downloaded", the browser engine will display a "Save As" dialog for you save the file instead of displaying it. By default, a file that can be displayed by the browser will be automatically displayed instead of downloaded. For example, if you open a HTML file, it will be displayed. You can force the browser engine to download. On the other hand, a file that can not be displayed by the browser will be automatically downloaded. For example, if you open a zip file, the browser will use the "download" flow and display a "Save As" dialog for you to save the zip file. EO.WebBrowser provides two features related to download: 1. ShouldForceDownload event for you to force download for a resource that otherwise would have been displayed: https://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/eo.webbrowser.webview.shouldforcedownload.html2. Download progress events for you to monitor/display download progress: https://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/webbrowser/customize/download.htmlDownload progress event (such as BeforeDownload) will NOT fire for a file that is not handled as a downoad. For example, if you open a HTML file, the browser will just display it instead of "downloading" it. In this case none of the download progress event will fire. Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you still have any questions. Thanks!

Hi, You need to explicitly hook up your event handler with the following code:
Code: Visual Basic.NET
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Initialize the WebView using the PictureBox's window handle
m_WebView.Create(PictureBox1.Handle)
'Add Event Handler
AddHandler m_WebView.BeforeDownload, New BeforeDownloadHandler(AddressOf WebView_BeforeDownload)
End Sub
Private Sub WebView_BeforeDownload(sender As Object, e As BeforeDownloadEventArgs)
...before download handler...
End Sub
You can find more sample code inside TabbedBrowser_VB sample in MainWindow.xaml.vb. Thanks!

Hi,
You need to:
1. Handle BeforeDownload event and set e.ShowDialog to false in your handler. This will tell the browser engine NOT to show the Save As dialog and proceed to save the download into a temp file;
2. Handle DownloadCompleted event and then use e.Item.FullPath to get the full path of the temp file.
Now the temp file contains the fully downloaded file and then you can do whatever you want to do with it. For example, you can move the file to a different location, or read it to a byte array, etc. This part would no longer has anything to do with our product.
Thanks!
