How can I use CefSharp to navigate to a specific URL?

[Gabriela Steren]

Hello.

I am new to CefSharp. I have downloaded it and I need to embed a browser in a window and feed it URLs to display.

I have done this with WebKit before, using the navigate method of the WebKitBrowser class. Is there any way to do the same with CefSharp? If so, what namespace, class and method do I need?

Thanks in advance.

I have found the Load method in the WebView class, but I know I'm doing something wrong because I get a "Browser is not initialized" exception.

How can I initialize the browser? This is my code so far (the relevant parts):


            CefSharp.Settings settings = new CefSharp.Settings
            {
                PackLoadingDisabled = true,
            };
            if (CEF.Initialize(settings))
            {
                web_view = new WebView("about:blank", new CefSharp.BrowserSettings());
                web_view.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
        
            }

...
            web_view.Load(url);

Where URL is a String which varies according to the application configuration. During my test it was http://www.missmab.com, but that is not really important.

Apparently it works if I catch the exception and run web_view.Address = url, although I don't know why.

If I use web_view.Address = url every time instead of web_view.Load(url), it only works the first time.

Hi, (and welcome to CefSharp :)

From the code you posted it looks like you are using a rather old version. In recent versions webView was replaced by ChromiumWebBrowser. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26307444/cefsharp-winforms-web-browser-wont-display for approximately bare minimum to get started with CefSharp.WinForms - from there take a look at CefSharp.MinimalExample and the FAQ linked to above here in the Google group. The ChromiumWebBrowser object is the main object.

Let's see how you go from there!

Thank you, Jørn, both for the welcome and for your reply. I will see if I can get a newer version to work.
