Create event handler for OnScroll for web browser control

c#, event-handling, events, scroll

Solution

I was able to get this working as follows. This example assumes that both web browser controls are navigating to the same Url. I am also syncing the horizontal scrollbar in addition to the vertical - this can be omitted if it is not required.

webBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
    += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted);
webBrowser2.DocumentCompleted
    += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(webBrowser2_DocumentCompleted);

NavigateToPage("www.google.com");

....

private void NavigateToPage(string url)
{
    webBrowser1.Navigate(url);
    webBrowser2.Navigate(url);
}

private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    webBrowser1.Document.Window.AttachEventHandler("onscroll", OnScrollEventHandler1);
}

private void webBrowser2_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    webBrowser2.Document.Window.AttachEventHandler("onscroll", OnScrollEventHandler2);
}

public void OnScrollEventHandler1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{           
    webBrowser2.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollTop
        = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollTop;
    webBrowser2.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollLeft
        = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollLeft;
}

public void OnScrollEventHandler2(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollTop
        = webBrowser2.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollTop;
    webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollLeft
        = webBrowser2.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollLeft;
}

I note your comment in How to retrieve the scrollbar position of the webbrowser control in .NET, relating to this operation

webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollTop

not working. I can confirm that this definitely works on my machine, so if this code does not work on yours I can look into alternatives.

Problem

Has any one successfully trapped the event of mouse scroll in a web browerser component? I have two web browser controls i would like to scroll at the same time. But there are no scroll events for web browsers. I would like to create an event something like this below? has any one done or seen this before? ``` private void webCompareSQL_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e) { Document.Window.AttachEventHandler("OnScroll"); } ``` Here i would call my event and proceed with the code. ``` private void windowEvents_OnScroll() { int nPos = GetScrollPos(webCompareSQL.Handle, (int)ScrollBarType.SbVert); nPos <<= 16; uint wParam = (uint)ScrollBarCommands.SB_THUMBPOSITION | (uint)nPos; SendMessage(WebPrevSQL.Handle, (int)Message.WM_VSCROLL, new IntPtr(wParam), new IntPtr(0)); } ``` I have found this code but don't know how to use it. its an event. ``` webCompareSQL.Document.Window.Scroll ```
