Based upon what's in the paragraph stating your problem, you are attempting to run a background service (launched w/boot?) that will hijack the user's browser. More than an example or knowledge of what you tried, I'd need to know a valid motive for this activity.

So you are trying to hijack the users browser? Are you trying to create malware?

The service will not be able to hyjack the users browser like you want.

Since the "about:" pages don't actually navigate to a page, your service will never know about the new tab neing created.

This is NOT a service app. What you are talking about is functionality specific to Chrome and the only thing that has a chance of doing what you want is a plug-in for Chrome.

Yes you are right but needs to develop like that<<<<After installation and onwards (till uninstallation), when the user opens a new tab in google chrome browser(using ‘+’ sign), it will open a new tab with a custom supplied address (the address will be static in nature and will be inside the software, say www.xyz.com) instead of opening a new tab with thumbnails>>

Needs to create communication between my software and chrom. ans then take the event of the New Tab Page .

Based on your description of what you want to do, a Windows service is just not going to accomplish this at all.

Chrome doesn't expose events, or anything of the like, such as "a new tab is opened" to external subscribers. Also events, in the form that you see them in a Windows Forms or WPF app don't cross process boundaries.

You simply have no choice at all but to write a plug-in.

Thanking you for that but if you have an any type of idea about that and also idea about to Add or make Plug-in Like that accomplish my requirements.
soo then tell me or guide me or any type of link then give me okay !!
Thanking you!!

You'll have to follow the link I already provided. I don't know the API model internally in Chrome and have never written a plugin for it.

Okay will try for it Thanking you!!
