How to manage the application from WebBrowser Control?

Question

I was looking for him, but left empty. And the worst thing is that I know that this is possible.

In any case, I am developing an application that uses the WebBrowser to display information about an object (for example, Outlook with the Rules and Alerts dialog box).

My question is how to make a click on a WebBrowser hyperlink, for example, in any function in the form of Windows?

For example, let's say I have a link like this , and when I click it, I want the application to display a specific form, for example Outlook, when you click hyperlinks like People and Distribution List

ChrisW's answer will work, but there is another way if you just rely on hyperlinks.

In Comicster , I have links in my WebBrowser control as follows:

 <a href="action:FileNew">New Collection</a> 

And then in the WebBrowser Navigating event, I have some code to check if the user tried to go to the “action:” and intercept it:

 private void webBrowser1_Navigating(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e) { if (e.Url.Scheme == "action") { e.Cancel = true; string actionName = e.Url.LocalPath; // do stuff when actionName == "FileNew" etc } } 

With a bit of code, you can even parse the URL parameters and “pass them” into the action of your host application so that I can do things like:

 <a href="action:EditIssue?ID=1">Edit this issue</a> 

... that will open the properties dialog for the problem with identifier 1.
