userGesture

noJavascriptAccess
Type: SystemBoolean
value indicates whether the new browser window should be scriptable and in the same process as the source browser.
newBrowser
Type: CefSharpIWebBrowser
EXPERIMENTAL - Low level this allows for assigning the CefClient instance associated with the new ChromiumWebBrowser instance to the CefClient param of the CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforeBrowser method. This allows for all the handlers, LifeSpanHandler, DisplayHandler, etc to be associated with the CefClient of the new ChromiumWebBrowser instance to be associated with the popup (browser). WPF/WinForms specific code is still required to host the popup (browser) in the new ChromiumWebBrowser instance. Set to null for default behaviour. If you return true (cancel popup creation) then his property **MUST** be null, an exception will be thrown otherwise.

Return Value

Type: Boolean
By default the popup (browser) is opened in a new native window. If you return true then creation of the popup (browser) is cancelled, no further action will occur. Otherwise return false to allow creation of the popup (browser).
Remarks
If you return true and set newBrowser to not null then an exception will be thrown as creation of the popup (browser) was cancelled. WinForms - To host the popup (browser) in a TAB/Custom Window see https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/General-Usage#winforms---hosting-popup-using-tab-control for an easy method. WPF - For an example of hosting the popup (browser) in a custom window see https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/General-Usage#wpf---hosting-popup-in-new-window-experimental Same can be applied for hosting the popup in a TAB. This method is still EXPERIMENTAL and will likely require upstream bug fixes in CEF (https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef).
