Prevent keypreview on a Webbrowser Control

- I am using the Webbrowser control in my Windows forms application...
- My problem appear when the user press "Backspace", the Webbrowser navigates back to the last shown page...
- Can I disable the "Backspace" or prevent the Webbrowser from seeing the pressed keys??

Thanks

Hi,

You can set AllowNavigation property of Webbrowser to false.

You can also try this way.

Use a arraylist to maintain the previous Links. If the arraylist has contained the Url, this will not allow the user to go back previous page.

Complex way should be filter the backspace message. Besides, IE and other browser can also use backspace to go back previous page. Use Backspace to go back maybe not a bad function.
