We have a scenario to stop OR continue to load the webpage based on a condition for which we registered for BeforeReqLoad event and set e.Canceled = true. As the event got invoked in a background thread, we had to invoke the condition in a Dispatcher(.Invoke). We would like to know if this has any impact in the sequence of loading the webpage. Please advise.

Below is the code snippet.
webView_BeforeReqLoad(object sender, EO.WebBrowser.BeforeRequestLoadEventArgs e)
{
 bool canceled=false;
            if (this.Dispatcher.CheckAccess())
            {
           
              NavigatetoWPFView(ref canceled);  //call the method to open the WPF scree(canceled is set to true to stop the webpage navigation)
                             
                    e.Canceled = canceled;
            }
            else
            {
                System.Windows.Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Send, new Action(() =>
                {
                    webView_BeforeReqLoad(sender, e);
                }));
            }
 }

Hi,

You can not do it this way. The reason that BeforeRequestLoad is called in a worker thread is because this event blocks the browser engine's IO thread thus is very performance sensitive, and any improper handling of this event can cause the browser engine to hang. If you choose to reroute the call to the UI thread, that would defeats the very purpose of triggering this event in a background thread. You should change your NavigateToWPFView method to be thread safe instead.

Thanks!
