Litee.Unofficial.CefGlue

THIS PROJECT IS NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE.

Update: Original CefGlue maintainer has upgraded project up to v63. I will keep publishing NuGet packages for myself, but will switch to the original codebase.

Why fork?

CefGlue upgrades stopped for unknown reason at version 59, but many people need upgrades - e.g. to fix security issues. I need the same for my project, so forked CefGlue and upgraded it to Chromium 62 and 63.

How stable is it?

• So far I have just added few new APIs (see the list below), so should be as stable as the original CefGlue
• I implemented new APIs, but did not test them much - not required for my project
• I am interested in Windows version only, so do not run any checks for Mono or Linux

What has changed after the last official CefGlue v59?

• v60-62
  • CefExtension
  • CefExtensionHandler
  • CefDisplayHandler.on_auto_resize
  • CefRequestContextHandler.on_request_context_initialized
• v63
  • CefServer

Where to get .NET binaries?

I am publishing CefGlue core binaries for .NET 4.0 and .NET 4.5 here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Litee.Unofficial.CefGlue/

WPF wrapper is available here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Litee.Unofficial.CefGlue.WPF/

How to use published NuGet packages in WPF app?

• Add Litee.Unofficial.CefGlue.WPF package into your app
• Build your app
• Download matching CEF binaries from http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html
• Unpack the archive. Copy all files from Release and Resources folders into your app folder.
• Launch your app. Tada!

How to build CefGlue myself?

• Download CEF binaries from http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html and unpack the archive
• Copy include folder from CEF into CefGlue.Interop.Gen\include. Manually remove cef_thread.h and cef_waitable_event.h - these two files should be excluded.
• Run gen-cef3.cmd within CefGlue.Interop.Gen folder. Note that you need Python 2.7 installed. In case you need to adjust path to Python binaries you can do it in gen-cef3.cmd file. This step will generate multiple C# files in CefGlue project.
• Build CefGlue binaries - e.g. by running build-net40.cmd in the root of the project
• If you just upgraded to a new version of CEF may see compilation errors - most typical fix is to add new generated files into CefGlue VS project
