Create a web browser with tab capability

Question

I want to recreate a simple browser with tab capability. A new tab has to be created every time the user clicks on "button_addTab" or when the selected web site tries to open a new window.

Here is my code:

Add a new tab by pressing the dedicated button:

private void button_addTab_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { TabPage addedTabPage = new TabPage("tab title"); //create the new tab tabControl_webBrowsers.TabPages.Add(addedTabPage); //add the tab to the TabControl WebBrowser addedWebBrowser = new WebBrowser() { Parent = addedTabPage, //add the new webBrowser to the new tab Dock = DockStyle.Fill } addedWebBrowser.Navigate("www.google.com");

Prevent a site from opening new windows (if you know every webBrowsers name) :

private void specificWebBrowser_NewWindow(object sender, CancelEventArgs e) { WebBrowser thisWebBrowser = (WebBrowser)sender; e.Cancel = true; TabPage addedTabPage = new TabPage("tab title"); tabControl_webBrowsers.TabPages.Add(addedTabPage); WebBrowser addedWebBrowser = new WebBrowser() { Parent = addedTabPage, Dock = DockStyle.Fill } addedWebBrowser.Navigate(thisWebBrowser.StatusText.ToString()); }

Now my question is: How can I modify the second branch of code in order to match all the web browsers created with no names when the first code is called (at one time)?

I have edited your title. Please see, "Should questions include “tags” in their titles?", where the consensus is "no, they should not". — John Saunders

Try to modify the first function to attach an event handler to newly created browser:

private void button_addTab_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { TabPage addedTabPage = new TabPage("tab title"); //create the new tab tabControl_webBrowsers.TabPages.Add(addedTabPage); //add the tab to the TabControl WebBrowser addedWebBrowser = new WebBrowser() { Parent = addedTabPage, //add the new webBrowser to the new tab Dock = DockStyle.Fill }; addedWebBrowser.NewWindow += specificWebBrowser_NewWindow; addedWebBrowser.Navigate("www.google.com"); }

Yes, it works. As suggested by Nikolay Khil I've looked at the previous asked question, but the statement [ addedWebBrowser.NewWindow += new EventHandler(specificWebBrowser_NewWindow); ] seems to have an error whereas [ addedWebBrowser.NewWindow += specificWebBrowser_NewWindow; ] properly runs (I have only to change function name). Thank you all.
