Prevent opening new windows

[delasource]

There is electrons "new-window" event. But i can not call event.preventDefault() in C# code (event browserWindow.OnNewWindowForTab). How am i be able to prevent opening new windows of my application? (for example when the user middle-mouse-clicks a link)

However, it is marked deprecated in the documentation in favor of this function on the webContents class. So how can i access that? There are plenty of methods that are not implemented in Electron.Net.

you have to do that in the javascript on the page itself. You can't do everything in .net.

Here is the code I use to prevent navigating away. For other similar scenarios I would suggest doing a google search. You have somewhat more freedom in the electron world than a standard browser.

// this prevents the window from navigation away.
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    document.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
      if (e.target.href && e.target.host != window.location.host) {
        e.preventDefault();
        e.stopPropagation();
        setTimeout(() => {
          // do something else here
        }, 100);
        return false;
      }
    }, true);
  });
