how to use the Accelerator keys?

[yanyuejie]

Accelerator keys works just when the cefclient demo run with --multi-threaded-message-loop and the window without browser. when CreateBrowser for the window, it dosnot work, why? how can make the accelerator keys works with the browser?

Accelerator keys can be handled by your application in CefKeyboardHandler::OnKeyEvent. The default implementation on Windows calls:

Code: Select all

  // Any unhandled keyboard/character messages are sent to DefWindowProc so that
  // shortcut keys work correctly.
  DefWindowProc(event.os_event.hwnd, event.os_event.message,
                event.os_event.wParam, event.os_event.lParam);

This likely doesn't work with multi-threaded because the window is created on a separate thread.

I had the same issue. But with a multi-threaded-message-loop.

The following code worked for me. Though I don't know, whether this is the right solution.

Code: Select all


bool client_handler::OnKeyEvent(
   CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser,
    const CefKeyEvent& event,
    CefEventHandle os_event) {
      
   // post any unhadled keys to the main window, so that hot keys could be captured
   PostMessage(hMainWindow, os_event->message, os_event->wParam, os_event->lParam);

   return false;
}
