public class MyDownloadHandler : IDownloadHandler { public void OnBeforeDownload(IWebBrowser chromiumWebBrowser, IBrowser browser, DownloadItem downloadItem, IBeforeDownloadCallback callback) { if (downloadItem.IsValid) { // Suggest a filename and path; set showDialog to true for user choice callback.Continue(downloadItem.SuggestedFileName, showDialog: true); } } public void OnDownloadUpdated(IWebBrowser chromiumWebBrowser, IBrowser browser, DownloadItem downloadItem, IDownloadItemCallback callback) { if (downloadItem.IsComplete) { // Logic to execute after the image is saved } } } // In your browser initialization: browser.DownloadHandler = new MyDownloadHandler(); Use code with caution.
