            For WebView2 you can use CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions.AdditionalBrowserArguments to set command line parameters for the browser process. These are the same command line parameters that the Edge browser accepts which mostly matches the chromium command line switches including --disable-web-security.

            You can start and stop process "C:\Server\APP.exe" from within GUI.EXE - this is assuming that you have a source code for GUI.EXE

            You need to do the following in GUI.EXE source code (here I'm assuming that you are using Windows Forms application):

            1. Add a Load event handler to your main form. From within your event handler you will need to start "C:\Server\APP.exe". You can use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\Server\APP.exe"); within event handler to start a process. Note that this method will return Process object which can be used to close the application.
            2. Add a Closing event handler to your main form. From within your event handler you will need to stop "C:\Server\APP.exe" You can do this via CloseMainWindow method of the Process object.

            • you need to use the LifeSpanHandler class to interrupt the popup and disable opening new browsers by assigning newBrowser to 'null' then you'll be able to perform your instructions.

            The problem is most likely that the wrong form becomes the mainForm for the application. It seems like you intend ShellForm to be the main form for the application, but you are displaying another form before this has been fully initialized. This is usually not a good idea.

            You probably want to fully create your main form before displaying any other form to solve the problem. This might require rewriting to do a multi-step initialization, first load the shellform, then ask for project, and finally do the final initialization of the shellForm.

            Another workaround could be to create a hidden form as the main-form. That way you could display your ProjectSelection-form before the shell-form.

            The actual version number for Visual Studio 2015 is 14. See the tag wiki for more information about VS version numbers.

            So, to have your "setup.exe" pre-install the redistributables required by CefSharp, select the Visual C++ "14" Runtime Libraries (xxx) appropriate for your target platform(s).

            Furthermore, since VS-2015, the C++ Redistributable Pack has been 'unified' to work with software compiled with multiple versions of the toolset: Thus, the Visual C++ "14" Runtime Libraries are suitable also for software built with VS-2017 (v. 15) and VS-2019 (v. 16). More info here.

            As it turned out, it was the introduction of the V8 Pointer compression (https://v8.dev/blog/pointer-compression) that is imposing the hard limit of 4GB JavaScript heap space and preventing the browser from loading very large pages.

            When using the Chromium Embedded Framework, this can be solved by making a custom build with pointer compression turned off.

            I did this by following the instructions at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/MasterBuildQuickStart.md, and before running the build process, manually edited the file file chromium_git\chromium\src\v8\BUILD.gn and commented out the setting of the V8_COMPRESS_POINTERS flag.

            The resulting libraries have the drawback of consuming significantly more memory, but the limit is gone, and when running on a machine with 32GB RAM or more, we can load those very large pages successfully.

            Choosing WebView2 Fixed Version for Distribution
            Asked 2021-Apr-06 at 08:19

            We are moving from CefSharp to WebView2. Because of certain requirements, we are thinking of going ahead with the fixed version where the updates can be controlled by us. Now, on Microsoft's official distribution page we have 3 options available - x86, x64 and ARM64. We have users who use different combinations of OS and CPU architecture. One example is 32 bit Windows 10 Pro running on a 64 bit Intel processor. Here is where I am confused. Which one to ship to agents depending on their combinations of OS and CPU architecture. Can anybody help here? Here are the combinations -

            I have not tried out and hence may be a blunt question - can x86 distributable be a safe bait for all these combinations? If yes, then what are the trade-offs?

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Apr-06 at 08:19

            I think x86 distribution is safe. If 32-bit OS is running, the entire system acts as purely 32-bit. It's impossible to use any 64-bit piece of code, so 64-bit applications won't work. You can also check this thread: If you want to run 64-bit app on 32-bit OS, you have to install a VM or something. I think that's not what you want.

            In conclusion, I think you should choose the WebView2 Fixed Version according to the OS version.

            Cefsharp chromium browser doesn't load only first time on Windows server 2012
            Asked 2021-Mar-22 at 04:29

            Hi i have wpf desktop application. I am using cefsharp.wpf chromium browser to open web page. I added cefsharp from nuget pacakge manager (version 87.1.132). it does work very well in my system (Windows 10, 64 bit os).

            But when i run my exe in client's environment (windows 2012 r2,64 bit os), strange thing happens, which is browser doesn't load only when i try first time. basically i have a button & on button click i do open one window which has cefsharp chromium browser in it. so when window opens first time browser doesn't load anything. now if i close window and open it again browser will redirect to my url . only first time browser doesnt load. after first time it does load everytime until i close exe and try again.

            if i close exe and open it again and try to open that window, again browser will not load anything. then i close that window and try again browser will work perfectly.

            What i am doing is very simple i have browser in xaml file in one window, and in cs file when window is loaded i am assigning one address to browser and that's it.

            in xaml

            in xaml.cs on window loaded

            browser.address = url; // i am using www.xero.com login url (which i dont think should matter as it does work second time).

            can anybody tell me what's happening here ?

            So my end goal is to detect when the user has pressed the left mouse button on a webpage (any element like a button, image and so on). With this I'd run some javascript to get the proper html data I need based on where the user has clicked.

            Without taking it any further, I'm already stuck at the first part where my browser control doesn't seem to fire any events related to the mouse. However it does seem to provide handlers like MouseDown, MouseEnter, MouseClick and so on but doesn't seem to fire any of them.

            It took a while, but finally got around to posting my own answer! Hopefully others will find this useful.

            Thanks to @amaitland for pointing out in the comments that CefSharp browser will not fire any keyboard or Mouse events and also for posting this link which ultimately led me to my answer.

            The workaround is to inject some Javascript (when the browser is done loading a frame) which will then listen to & detect any mouse/keyboard events. Upon fire, your Javascript then calls CefSharp.PostMessage(data); which notifies the CefSharp browser on its own thread and returns any useful data (depending on your script).

            Initializing Event Handlers

            Adding browser.JavascriptMessageReceived += Browser_JavascriptMessageReceived; & browser.FrameLoadEnd += Browser_FrameLoadEnd; to your initialization will activate the necessary hooks, like so (following my original example):
