It would be cool to get a Gitter channel running for discussions :)

Tried >dotnet restore => works well.

Missing some pre-conditions ??

Nice work!

Does this also work on MacOS?

Thanks,

is it mp4 supported ?

Is it possible to open chrome dev tools for debugging?

Is there a way to open multiple chromely windows? Say for instance I want to open a new link in another chromely window. I have tried using window.open() or links with target _blank but nothing appears to happen.

If register as externalurl it opens in separate browser but I want it to open in another chromely window.

Additionally I was thinking of creating a loading screen where I have one window open and then when it closes I open a second main one. Is that possible with chromely?

Related with the mac os compatibility, have you seen these .Net Core bindings for libui?
As we need only a main window, maybe it is easier to integrate it?

Another related question. Do you know if the mac os (last version) allows the application to listen in local port for calls/events from the UI? I don't want to depend only in the internal message loop for the communication. In Windows, I don't know about the UWP, but desktop bridge applications can listen in localhost.

I have been developing against the "old" dll's provided in issue #48 and wanted to ask about the ability to close the window and open a new one after one is already opened; however, before making a new post I wanted to make sure I had the newest code. I updated to CefGlue Version 68 and tried testing the code and it appears that the full-screen functionality no longer works. Using the following code does not create a full-screen window.

            string startUrl = "http://www.google.com";
            ChromelyConfiguration config = ChromelyConfiguration
                                          .Create()
                                          .WithHostTitle("chromely")
                                          .WithAppArgs(args)
                                          .WithStartUrl(startUrl)
                                          .WithHostMode(Chromely.Core.Host.WindowState.Fullscreen, false)
                                          .WithHostSize(1280, 1024)

                                           //Set multi-threaded_message_loop false
                                           //only supported on windows
                                           .WithCustomSetting(CefSettingKeys.MultiThreadedMessageLoop, false)

                                           .WithCommandLineArg("disable-gpu", "1")
                                           .WithCommandLineArg("disable-gpu-compositing", "1")
                                           .WithCommandLineArg("disable-smooth-scrolling", "1")
                                           .WithCommandLineArg("no-sandbox", "1");

            using (app = new CefGlueBrowserWindow(config))
            {
                return app.Run(args);
            }

When run, this creates a non-full-screen window in which the browser never loads.

The output appears to be the same problem occurring with the original update.

I have used CoreRT, (NET Core runtime optimized for AOT ) to build my Chromely sample app. It successfully generated native binaries. But when the executable generated following error. Unable to load DLL 'libcef': specified module is not available.

window... request url ("www.google.com")?
thanks.

When I click on the installation. The error message is i use the wrong .net version (4.6.1)!

I want hole & transparent background (specific color. like wpf+cefsharp )
how can I?

thanks.

I'm sorta a noob but I have no idea how to make the window frameless... I've heard of WM_NCHITTEST but can't find it in the window flags... thanx

Hello, Thank you for this beautiful project!

I followed these steps: https://github.com/mattkol/Chromely/wiki/dotnet-cli-Starter-Template
And it works well.

But when I open the project in vs2017 and run the debug.
I have an empty window an the dotnet console open with this message

(I'am on windows 64 and with the last Chromely)

I tested these steps : https://github.com/mattkol/Chromely/wiki/CefGlue-Application-Layout, but with no sucess.

Do you understand more me ?

Thank you !

Hi,

I am curious if Chromely does support Android Platform ?
If no, what is the reason ?

Thanks

I guess that the text "Visual Source Code" in README.md should be replaced with "VIsual Studio Code".

Please add a mechanism to easily bind the internal CEF host's size to the parent window's size such that the CEF host resizes with the parent.

2. Copy all files from /Release to the demo folder.
   Copy all files from /Resources to demo folder.
   3.when I run cefglue_winapi_demo.exe , it is a blank

Hi, nice and interesting open source project, thank you!
I did run the demos and compiled my .Net Core application following the instructions in the Getting-Started-CefGlue-Winapi-(.NET-Core)

I noticed that in all precompiled demos and in my new project, the CPU's consumption is 30-35% continuously.

What provokes such high consumption?
another question. In case of "multi-process", I don't understand what path to give

         .WithCustomSetting(CefSettingKeys.BrowserSubprocessPath, path_to_sunprocess)

Thanks!

In your demo on "Getting Started CefGlue Gtk (Linux)" you write:

var factory = WinapiHostFactory.Init();
            using (var app = new CefGlueBrowserHost(config))

this class seems to be from CefGlue.WinApi.
Is WinApi and CefGlue.WinApi required to run on linux? the wiki page doesn't mention them.

Even with those 2 packages, it won't run on windows, because Cef is missing.
So I added cef like written further down on the wiki page.

I then installed the gtk+ 64bit runtime in v2.24 from
https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer

(installing the 32bit version will throw BadImageFormatException)

With this installed, I got this exception:
Exception thrown: 'System.DllNotFoundException' in Chromely.CefGlue.Gtk.dll:
'gtksharpglue-2'

After googling I found, that I need Gtk# to be installed from http://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/

Now I get BadImageFormatException agai, presumably, because Gtk# doesn't ship a 64bit version.
at Chromely.CefGlue.Gtk.ChromeHost.NativeMethods.Win.gtksharp_gtk_widget_get_window(IntPtr widget)

Is 64bit required for Chromely or would it run in32bit mode, too?

Please delete it. something wrong with Github

Currently the Chromely.Cef.Redist does not work for dotnet core correctly.
To do so we need to adjust the targets to respect the RuntimeIdentifiers correctly.

See Microsoft.NETCore.Platforms
See cross-platform-net-core-apps
See rid-catalog

I had no luck getting Runtimes working. But my knowledge in packing native dependencies cross-platform is limited.

I noticed that the default JS handler for CefSharp only implements the get and post methods. I started to create my own JS handler but after looking at the source code, if I understand correctly, the method kinds to get kinda lost and bundled only with an identification on route string instead.

Am I right in thinking this? If so, are there plans to fully support PUT AND DELETE for CefSharp? If I'm confused, how would I get puts and deletes working?

Thanks.

Is there a way to achieve a route like the following...

this.RegisterGetRequest("/conversations/id:", this.GetConversation);

where the route will match id any value placed after /conversations part of the route. For example:

/conversations/ce20e093-9726-4607-85ac-a8eba25533c1

Thanks.

In the use case where we want to deliver a ASP.NET Core Web Application locally, Electron works and I have delivered several of these.

The Demo project for Chromely looks great but does not use Razor pages to deliver content.

I am wondering how to make Chromely work with an ASP.NET Core Web Application -> Web Application (i.e. using Razor pages).

It would be great to use Chromely instead of electron.
Do you have any examples of this yet?

Thank you.

Hi,

It's not a issue, maybe it's feature reqiure, how to hide the right click menu? is there any option to do that? I don't want user click the right menu the "Show DevTools" and "Close DevTools" to review source code.

Thanks,

Is support for macOS planned?

Hi does this have duplex Communication between c# layer and JavaScript layer?
from what I’ve seen its more of a one way Restful client / server setup from JavaScript at the moment....
how do i also communicate with JavaScript layer from c# layer....
I’m really just looking to shoot messages both ways asynchronously
Im Using CefSharp version but if CefGlue is easyier please let me know....

Whenever i try run myapp.exe it starts a window but its just blank. debug.log has the following error

I rebuild the cefsharp to enable the html5. Then I copy the dll into the project.But it does not work.

Currently I'm working on a project to bring blazor to desktop: blaster

Good to see a lightweight alternative to electron in c# 👍

But I've troubles where to catch up to serve the blazor files. Basically I need just a hint where to handle the mime types chromium serves for the example IIS config.

Thats the output of the blazor publish:

Awesome project :)

First of all Thanks for creating this beautiful library 👏 and Thanks for understanding .net people inner thoughts 👍

Unfortunately from Doc look like Chormely does not work on mac.
May I suggest you a solution.
Avalonia Most popular .net core UI it build successfully on mac as well, It has a Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) By using It there should be no issue with builds.
I think Its most stable way for chromely.

Please share your thoughts on it.

This may not exactly be a Chromely issue, but I'm trying to figure out how to create a full screen window.

I've discovered the

WS_MAXIMIZE

flag, but that seems to only maximize the window within the constraints set by the ChromelyConfiguration. Is there a built in way to do this? Thanks.

How can I change the IJsonMapper with DI (with other JSON library or even other protocol)?
The same for the Logger.
Thanks!

First i'd like to say 👏 good job on Chromely, Second i like to know whether i can deploy to Mac Os and what is/are the requirements needed.

• Question

Do you know the Neutronium project?

https://github.com/NeutroniumCore/Neutronium

It seems you guys are doing pretty much the same?

I'm playing around with chromely, pretty impressed so far, but one thing bothered me. Here we are working with an expandobject: https://github.com/mattkol/Chromely/blob/master/angular-react-vue/ChromelyVueCefSharp/Controllers/DemoController.cs#L96-L116

Having my backend in .NET I very much prefer to use typed objects. In case anyone else wants to do the same

1. Add System.Web.Extensions as a reference to your project.
2. Add a second constructor to the MovieInfo class

public MovieInfo()
{
}

3. Convert the data using this code

var javaScriptSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
List<MovieInfo> movies = javaScriptSerializer.ConvertToType<List<MovieInfo>>(request.PostData);

You can now work with movies in a nice way.

I am not a .NET developer and I do not have .NET SDK, but I am searching for a lightweight alternative to Electron/NW.js and I want to try out Chromely. However, I cannot find any demo chromely.exe binaries for Windows. Can you provide a demo app, running a local HTML file in a subfolder, similar to NW.js?

Hello

I am in need of some help using chromely

I want to give chromely an array of args when calling dotnet run,
and then use those args in the controller.

using the demo,
where would i need to put args in Program.cs,
and how do i call args from within DemoController?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated
