Handling links that open in an external window

External Links

Certain links normally open in a new window in typical web-browsers. Links that usually open in an "external window" include:

• Links with a "_blank" target attribute
• Calls to window.open("http://domain.com") via Javascript
• Links requested to be opened via Flash

Handling External Links

You must handle external links yourself-- they are not automatically loaded into a WebView.

You may either choose to load the URL into the same WebView or create a new WebView and load the URL into that instead.

Using C++ API

You can be notified when a user clicks an external link using WebViewListener in the C++ API. Just override the virtual function WebViewListener::onOpenExternalLink and then handle the URL parameter yourself.

Using C# API

You can be notified when a user clicks an external link by using WebView.OnOpenExternalLink.
