[Problem/Bug]: Prevent opening a window via CoreWebView2 NewWindowRequest doesn’t work

[neo42deg]

What happened?

If i subscribe the CoreWebView2 NewWindowRequest event and set e.Handled to true, it opens in a new window instead of doing nothing.

Importance

Blocking. My app's basic functions are not working due to this issue.

Repro steps

• Add Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebView.Wpf NuGet to a WPF project

• Add BlazorWebView in the MainWindow and subscribe the BlazorWebViewInitializing event

        <blazor:BlazorWebView x:Name="blazorWebView" HostPage="wwwroot\Index.html" Services="{DynamicResource services}" BlazorWebViewInitializing="OnInitWebView">
            <blazor:BlazorWebView.RootComponents>
                <blazor:RootComponent Selector="#app" ComponentType="{x:Type local:Main}" />
            </blazor:BlazorWebView.RootComponents>
        </blazor:BlazorWebView>

• Subscribe CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted in the OnInitWebView event handler

       private void OnInitWebView(object sender, BlazorWebViewInitializingEventArgs e)
       {
           blazorWebView.WebView.CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted += CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted;
       }

• Subscribe NewWindowRequested in the CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted event handler and set e.Handled to true

        private void CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted(object? sender, CoreWebView2InitializationCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            blazorWebView.WebView.CoreWebView2.NewWindowRequested += (sender, e) =>
            {
                e.Handled = true;
            };
        }

• Start the application and drag and drop a text file on the WebView2

It opens the text file in editor instead of doing nothing.

I could not repro this issue in 122.0.2365.92 on my end. @neo42deg would you mind to upload your sample app?

[neo42deg]

@JosephJin0815 I can repro the issue with the attached sample app in runtime version 122.0.2365.92 and 124.0.2478.80.

Thanks. I can repro the issue with the app you uploaded. But not in WPF sample with the runtime you provided. There might be some gaps in BlazorWebView. This issue is tracked in our backlog.
