When using a Views-hosted browser window the client receives Views-related
callbacks for popups and can thereby customize the Views-hosted popup behavior.
When using an external parent window no Views-related callbacks are delivered
and customization options are restricted to providing a new parent handle via
OnBeforePopup. Consequently, we should default to a normal browser window in
the external parent case instead of the very minimial Views-hosted default.
To test (A):
1. Run `cefclient --use-default-popup --enable-chrome-runtime --use-native`
2. Select Tests > Popup Window
3. Get a normal Chrome browser window
To test (B):
1. Run `cefclient --use-default-popup [--enable-chrome-runtime] [--use-views]`
2. Select Tests > Popup Window
3. Get a native or Views-hosted browser window with title bar only
This change adds Chrome runtime support on Windows and Linux for creating a
browser parented to a native window supplied by the client application.
Expected API usage and window behavior is similar to what already exists with
the Alloy runtime. The parent window handle should be specified by using
CefWindowInfo::SetAsChild in combination with the CefBrowserHost::CreateBrowser
and CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforePopup callbacks.
The previously existing behavior of creating a fully-featured Chrome browser
window when empty CefWindowInfo is used with CreateBrowser remains unchanged
and Views is still the preferred API for creating top-level Chrome windows
with custom styling (e.g. title bar only, frameless, etc).
The cefclient Popup Window test with a native parent window continues to crash
on Linux with both the Alloy and Chrome runtimes (see issue #3165).
Also adds Chrome runtime support for CefDisplayHandler::OnCursorChange.
To test:
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime [--use-views]` for the default (and
previously existing) Views-based behavior.
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --use-native` for the new native
parent window behavior.
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --use-native --no-activate` and the
window will not be activated (take input focus) on launch (Windows only).
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime [--use-views|--use-native]
--mouse-cursor-change-disabled` and the mouse cursor will not change on
mouseover of DOM elements.
To test:
Run `cefclient.exe --use-views --hide-frame --hide-controls`
Add `--enable-chrome-runtime` for the same behavior using the Chrome location
bar instead of a text field.
The Chrome browser can now be hosted in a Views-based application on Windows
and Linux.
To launch a fully-featured Chrome window using cefsimple:
$ cefsimple --enable-chrome-runtime
To launch a minimally-styled Views-hosted window using cefsimple:
$ cefsimple --enable-chrome-runtime --use-views
To launch a fully-styled Views-hosted window using cefclient:
$ cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --use-views
Views unit tests also now pass with the Chrome runtime enabled:
$ ceftests --gtest_filter=Views* --enable-chrome-runtime
Known issues:
- Popup browsers cannot be intercepted and reparented.
