Re: WebView object - Event on Link click

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just tested that and it works better with the MouseUp event not Mousedown

This simple code seems to work, the non https:// links do nothing if i
select Ignore..
If the event Returns it works as normal or it hits the Stop Event call and
cancels the click.

Public Sub WebView1_MouseUp()

  If WebView1.Link Begins "https://"; Then Return
  If Message.Question("Warning! non secure link\n\n" & WebView1.Link,
"Goto", "Ignore") = 1 Then Return

  Stop Event

End

Respects
