IE7 - Cancel New Tab or New Window

Hello,

I'm attempting to cancel the opening of a new IE7 tab when a user right-clicks a link and chooses "Open in New Tab" or "Open in New Window". The following code from our BHO's Invoke method did the trick for IE6, but it doesn't for IE7. Should this still work for IE7, or should it be done differently for IE7

Thanks,
Roy

case DISPID_NEWWINDOW3:
// This is a new (post-XPSP2) version of IE, which generates the NEWWINDOW3 event.
{
if (!ContinueNavigating(pDispParams->rgvarg[0].bstrVal, this))
{
// Suppress the navigation.
*(pDispParams->rgvarg[3].pboolVal) = VARIANT_TRUE;
}
}
break;

Hi Sheng, I'll go back and double-check, but this code was working with IE6. It could be that we were lucky with IE6. =)

Hi Eric, I tried our BHO with the IE7 release [7.0.5730.11], but the cancellation still doesn't work. -Roy

Sheng, the indices we are using look correct to me. 3 is the index for the cancel parameter, and that's what we're using. Any other ideas

This should work for IE7. Note that cancellation was broken for some pre-release versions of IE.

I am afraid that you are accessing the parameters with wrong indices.
