[NHD]

Hi,
I'm developing CefAu3 project, it embed Chromium browser to your AutoIt program.
I'm busy and can stop it. If you want to contribute, you can fork my project and build it yourself.

 

Some Features:
- Easy create CEF window
- Multi-message loop
- Interaction between AutoIt and JavaScript
- Supports AutoIt binding
- Supports user events...

MiniBrowser: https://github.com/small-autoit/mb

CEF project: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef

hi! RUN mian ConsoleWrite:

[0607/174222.863:ERROR:proxy_service_factory.cc(116)] Cannot use V8 Proxy resolver in single process mode.
[0607/174222.933:WARNING:histograms.cc(40)] Started multiple compositor clients (Browser, Renderer) in one process. Some metrics will be disabled.

What's the matter？

@subtlelonging
AutoIt can not run multiprocess, so it can't access full features from CEF.

You can check here https://github.com/small-autoit/mb/blob/master/mini_browser.au3
 

global $cef_winfo = $cef.new('WindowInfo')
$cef_winfo.parent_window = $hMainGUI ; // HWND (gui handle)
$cef_winfo.style = 0x40000000 ; // WS_CHILD (needed for embed as child)

CefApp should use for one application, but CefClient (includes many event handles from this) should use each browser.

You can see, https://github.com/small-autoit/mb/blob/master/mini_browser.au3

I used two CefClient for two browser handle ($browser_client and $toolbar_client).

And the browser window is created after toolbar created, via OnAfterCreated event.

func toolbar_onAfterCreated($browser)
    if ($toolbar_hwnd==0) then
        $toolbar_frame = $browser.GetMainFrame()
        $toolbar_hwnd = ptr($browser.GetHost().GetWindowHandle())
        
        _MoveWindow($toolbar_hwnd, 0, 0, $width, $toolbar_height, 1)
        _ShowWindow($toolbar_hwnd)

        $cef.CreateBrowser($cef_winfo.__ptr, $browser_client.__ptr, $url, $cef_bs.__ptr, null)
    endif
endfunc

On the other hand, one client can create multiple browser windows via $cef.CreateBrowser;

after created, browser handle, browser host and frame will be difference, you should identify for each one.

$client.OnAfterCreated = func_; 
$client.OnBeforeClose  = func_;

!? how could i miss this post so far?
I can't believe it ... anyway ... it looks very interesting.
If anyone has further usage examples, they are welcome if are posted here.
Thanks

[Gianni]

how to get started quickly:

1. download the cefau3.bin.x86.zip zipped file from this link (https://github.com/nomi-san/cefau3/releases/tag/2018.10.10), which already contains the CEF binaries
2. unzip it and launch the two examples to start testing it

Hi @mLipok,

That topic is also very interesting, (maybe even more than this), making Edge "embeddable" in AutoIt, but unfortunately there is not something 'runnable' in AutoIt yet,  however I stay tuned to that ...
This post on CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) instead offers something already usable in AutoIt, so I find it interesting to be able to do some practical experiments ...

[mLipok]

@Chimp

Please make a post on my "Edge" thread - describe what you think about it.

I hope that someone with more experience in C ++ and in Windows API will finally notice this thread and help to get started.

btw.
I hope you will get involved in it somehow.

Hi NHD, your work is just incredible, I managed to make it work for embedding chrome in my project

However, this version of CEF is really outdated. Many websites already dropped support

I just wanted to ask if you could make it compatible with newer CEF versions, that would help a lot, if you could take some time for that

I really support your project and can contribute and donate if you help with this
