CefSharp Winforms - Execute javascript before showing browser












0















I am trying to load a page and execute some javascript before showing the browser to the user. This because i want to take them through some screens before they get it shown (selenium like), and i only want to show it when i require their input (Wich is after the 2nd pageload).



Unfortunatly i cant go to that page directly, i have to click a link first. But whatever i try, it will still show the browser, then execute the javascript. My current test is below, was playing around with browser.visible, but that doesnt work either, i still see the js being executed.



(Site and javascript are dummy values)



 public ChromiumWebBrowser browser;
public void InitBrowser()
{
Cef.Initialize(new CefSettings());
browser = new ChromiumWebBrowser("https://www.bing.com/");
this.Controls.Add(browser);
browser.Visible = false;
browser.FrameLoadEnd += (sender, args) =>
{
//Wait for the MainFrame to finish loading
if (args.Frame.IsMain)
{
//do this first
browser.ExecuteScriptAsyncWhenPageLoaded("document.getElementById('sb_form_q').value = 'test';",true);
browser.ExecuteScriptAsyncWhenPageLoaded("document.getElementById('sb_form_go').click();",true);

}
};
browser.FrameLoadEnd += (sender, args) =>
{
//Wait for the MainFrame to finish loading
if (args.Frame.IsMain)
{
//when page is loaded again, do this:
browser.ExecuteScriptAsync("document.getElementById('hplogo').src='https://logos-download.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/bing-tm-logo.png'");

}
};
//then show browser again
browser.Visible = true;
}

  • You are setting Visible = false then adding actions to events (not executing the actions) then setting Visible = true when the events might not have fired yet. Try putting browser.Visible = true within one of the events or create a new event to trigger it to show or use .ContinueWith( () => { browser.Visible = true; } );

  • You can connect Puppeteer Sharp to a running instance for automation purposes. Your code doesn't handle the FrameLoadEnd event properly, subscribing twice doesn't mean first run will be first handler, second will be second handler. Both handlers will fire. You have to subscribe, unsubscribe, subscribe a different handler. Or just check the frame url in the one handler.
