Any possibility to get weblement and its xpath by mouseclick?

[lofti198]

My goal is to rightclick on any webelement (in the screen winforms version) and get it's xpath or another selector. How can I do that?

If your looking to integrate this directly into your apps, the easiest option is probably to use JavaScript to hook the relevant mouse event and then send a message back to your .Net app.

If you just want to open DevTools from the context menu, like inspect element functionality then that's also an option. From memory DevTools can tell you the xpath.

Can I somehow debug or get logs from code, which executing in JS callback?

You can open DevTools programatically see https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Trouble-Shooting#javascript-debugging

Hi! Wanted to get MouseEvent object, but failed:

in Chrome it works completely OK:

Typically this is a sign the object is too complex to return. Create your own object that contains just the data you require.
