How do I redirect the TWebBrowser control to a custom URL?

Example:

I navigate to http://www.stackoverflow.com with my web browser control
there's a link to FAQ in the top bar, with target https://stackoverflow.com/faq
I need to redirect e.g. to the http://math.stackexchange.com when I click the FAQ link

The easiest way, as kobik suggested is to use TWebBrowser.OnBeforeNavigate2 event. Here is the example.

procedure TForm1.WebBrowser1BeforeNavigate2(ASender: TObject;
  const pDisp: IDispatch; var URL, Flags, TargetFrameName, PostData,
  Headers: OleVariant; var Cancel: WordBool);
begin
  if URL = 'https://stackoverflow.com/faq' then
  begin
    // setting this flag to True will cancel the current navigation
    Cancel := True;

    // changing this declared parameter doesn't affect anything
    // I've used it just because it's already declared
    URL := 'http://math.stackexchange.com';

    // interrupt all pending navigations and stop dynamic page elements
    (pDisp as IWebBrowser2).Stop;

    // and navigate to the target URL
    (pDisp as IWebBrowser2).Navigate2(URL, Flags, TargetFrameName, PostData, Headers);
  end;
end;

There's another, more complicated method how to achieve the same. It's about using the IDocHostUIHandler interface. Except the control of the menus and toolbars visibility, context menu configuration and some events it provides, let's say, the redirect capability.

To be more specific, it's the IDocHostUIHandler.TranslateUrl method. This method enables the host to modify the URL to be loaded. It exposes the input URL where the web browser control is going to navigate and the output URL where you redirect it, if you want.

The following example shows the implementation of the IDocHostUIHandler.TranslateUrl method. Please note that I've used the interposed class so if you put this code into your unit, only those web browsers on the form or those created in this unit dynamically will get this behavior.

If you click on the Button1 you'll be navigated to the http://www.stackoverflow.com and if you click on the FAQ link which is directed to the https://stackoverflow.com/faq you'll be redirected to the http://math.stackexchange.com.
