折叠时如何使用 ChromiumWebBrowser

Question

I have a ChromiumWebBrowser control with Visibility of Collapsed . Until the visibility is set to Visible , the page is not loaded and many calls fail with:

System.Exception : The browser has not been initialized. Load can only be called after the underlying CEF browser is initialized ( CefLifeSpanHandler::OnAfterCreated ).

How can I have the page be loaded when the Visibility is Collapsed ?

Answer 1

Create a subclass of ChromiumWebBrowser as described in Render problems when Initial Visibility Collapsed . To work around a NullReferenceException in AbstractRenderHandler.OnPaint , you will need to ensure the visual tree is already created (by calling ApplyTemplate ).

Example:

internal sealed class CollapsableChromiumWebBrowser : ChromiumWebBrowser
{
    public CollapsableChromiumWebBrowser()
    {
        this.Loaded += this.CollapsableChromiumWebBrowser_Loaded;
    }

    private void CollapsableChromiumWebBrowser_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        // Avoid loading CEF in designer
        if (DesignerProperties.GetIsInDesignMode(this))
        {
            return;
        }

        // Avoid NRE in AbstractRenderHandler.OnPaint
        ApplyTemplate();
        // https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/issues/1412
        CreateOffscreenBrowser(new Size(400, 400));
    }
}
