Cef Methods

Add an entry to the cross-origin whitelist.

Remove all entries from the cross-origin access whitelist.

Clear all scheme handler factories registered with the global request context. Returns false on error. This function may be called on any thread in the browser process. Using this function is equivalent to calling Cef.GetGlobalRequestContext().ClearSchemeHandlerFactories().

Helper function (wrapper around the CefColorSetARGB macro) which combines the 4 color components into an uint32 for use with BackgroundColor property

Returns true if called on the specified CEF thread.

Perform a single iteration of CEF message loop processing.This function is provided for cases where the CEF message loop must be integrated into an existing application message loop. Use of this function is not recommended for most users; use CefSettings.MultiThreadedMessageLoop if possible (the deault). When using this function care must be taken to balance performance against excessive CPU usage. It is recommended to enable the CefSettings.ExternalMessagePump option when using this function so that IBrowserProcessHandler.OnScheduleMessagePumpWork() callbacks can facilitate the scheduling process. This function should only be called on the main application thread and only if Cef.Initialize() is called with a CefSettings.MultiThreadedMessageLoop value of false. This function will not block.

Call during process startup to enable High-DPI support on Windows 7 or newer. Older versions of Windows should be left DPI-unaware because they do not support DirectWrite and GDI fonts are kerned very badly.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

This function should be called from the application entry point function to execute a secondary process. It can be used to run secondary processes from the browser client executable (default behavior) or from a separate executable specified by the CefSettings.browser_subprocess_path value. If called for the browser process (identified by no "type" command-line value) it will return immediately with a value of -1. If called for a recognized secondary process it will block until the process should exit and then return the process exit code. The |application| parameter may be empty. The |windows_sandbox_info| parameter is only used on Windows and may be NULL (see cef_sandbox_win.h for details).

Returns a cookie manager that neither stores nor retrieves cookies. All usage of cookies will be blocked including cookies accessed via the network (request/response headers), via JavaScript (document.cookie), and via CefCookieManager methods. No cookies will be displayed in DevTools. If you wish to only block cookies sent via the network use the IRequestHandler CanGetCookies and CanSetCookie methods instead.

Returns the global cookie manager. By default data will be stored at CefSettings.CachePath if specified or in memory otherwise. Using this method is equivalent to calling Cef.GetGlobalRequestContext().GetDefaultCookieManager() The earlier possible place to access the ICookieManager is in IBrowserProcessHandler.OnContextInitialized. Alternative use the ChromiumWebBrowser BrowserInitialized (OffScreen) or IsBrowserInitializedChanged (WinForms/WPF) events.

Gets the Global Request Context. Make sure to Dispose of this object when finished. The earlier possible place to access the IRequestContext is in IBrowserProcessHandler.OnContextInitialized. Alternative use the ChromiumWebBrowser BrowserInitialized (OffScreen) or IsBrowserInitializedChanged (WinForms/WPF) events.

Serves as the default hash function.

Async returns a list containing Plugin Information (Wrapper around CefVisitWebPluginInfo)

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Initializes CefSharp with user-provided settings. It's important to note that Initialize and Shutdown MUST be called on your main applicaiton thread (Typically the UI thead). If you call them on different threads, your application will hang. See the documentation for Cef.Shutdown() for more details.

Quit the CEF message loop that was started by calling Cef.RunMessageLoop(). This function should only be called on the main application thread and only if Cef.RunMessageLoop() was used.

Cause the plugin list to refresh the next time it is accessed regardless of whether it has already been loaded.

Register the Widevine CDM plugin. The client application is responsible for downloading an appropriate platform-specific CDM binary distribution from Google, extracting the contents, and building the required directory structure on the local machine. The [!:CefSharp.IBrowserHost.StartDownload] method class can be used to implement this functionality in CefSharp. Contact Google via https://www.widevine.com/contact.html for details on CDM download. path is a directory that must contain the following files: 1. manifest.json file from the CDM binary distribution (see below). 2. widevinecdm file from the CDM binary distribution (e.g. widevinecdm.dll on Windows). 3. widevidecdmadapter file from the CEF binary distribution (e.g. widevinecdmadapter.dll on Windows). If any of these files are missing or if the manifest file has incorrect contents the registration will fail and callback will receive an ErrorCode value of [!:CefSharp.CdmRegistrationErrorCode.IncorrectContents]. The manifest.json file must contain the following keys: A. "os": Supported OS (e.g. "mac", "win" or "linux"). B. "arch": Supported architecture (e.g. "ia32" or "x64"). C. "x-cdm-module-versions": Module API version (e.g. "4"). D. "x-cdm-interface-versions": Interface API version (e.g. "8"). E. "x-cdm-host-versions": Host API version (e.g. "8"). F. "version": CDM version (e.g. "1.4.8.903"). G. "x-cdm-codecs": List of supported codecs (e.g. "vp8,vp9.0,avc1"). A through E are used to verify compatibility with the current Chromium version. If the CDM is not compatible the registration will fail and callback will receive an ErrorCode value of [!:CdmRegistrationErrorCode.Incompatible]. If registration is not supported at the time that Cef.RegisterWidevineCdm() is called then callback will receive an ErrorCode value of [!:CdmRegistrationErrorCode.NotSupported].

Register the Widevine CDM plugin. See RegisterWidevineCdm(String, IRegisterCdmCallback) for more details.

Run the CEF message loop. Use this function instead of an application- provided message loop to get the best balance between performance and CPU usage. This function should only be called on the main application thread and only if Cef.Initialize() is called with a CefSettings.MultiThreadedMessageLoop value of false. This function will block until a quit message is received by the system.

Sets or clears a specific key-value pair from the crash metadata.

Shuts down CefSharp and the underlying CEF infrastructure. This method is safe to call multiple times; it will only shut down CEF on the first call (all subsequent calls will be ignored). This method should be called on the main application thread to shut down the CEF browser process before the application exits. If you are Using CefSharp.OffScreen then you must call this explicitly before your application exits or it will hang. This method must be called on the same thread as Initialize. If you don't call Shutdown explicitly then CefSharp.Wpf and CefSharp.WinForms versions will do their best to call Shutdown for you, if your application is having trouble closing then call thus explicitly.

This method should only be used by advanced users, if you're unsure then use Cef.Shutdown(). This function should be called on the main application thread to shut down the CEF browser process before the application exits. This method simply obtains a lock and calls the native CefShutdown method, only IsInitialized is checked. All ChromiumWebBrowser instances MUST be Disposed of before calling this method. If calling this method results in a crash or hangs then you're likely hanging on to some unmanaged resources or haven't closed all of your browser instances

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Unregister an internal plugin. This may be undone the next time RefreshWebPlugins() is called.

Visit web plugin information. Can be called on any thread in the browser process.
