How to get history URL? (CEF3)

[CantStop0708]

Hi!
So the CefBrowser class has GoBack() and GoForward() methods for history navigating. But i need to know the "go back" URL before the navigating. How can i retrieve it?

Hi,

I have the same query. I want to know the URL I am "going-back" to.Any update on this?

CefBrowserHost::GetNavigationEntries was added in https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issue/1442/

Thank you Marshal for your reply.

Also, if i dont want to add a URL to the history, or delete a URL from the history list, is there any way to do it?

Hi Marshal,

Thank you for sharing the link. I went through it but I am unable to do any changes to the "window.history" object. Looks like this object has "read-only" access.
This link speaks more details about it http://stackoverflow.com/questions/821511/manipulate-the-session-history-with-javascript

You probably need https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issue/1587 in that case.

Hi Marshal,

I went through the link you shared above. I cant exactly find the api LoadURL/LoadURLWithParams . LoadRequest API takes an instance of CefRequest and in that class i did not find any parameter to clear the history. Please help.

Marshal Basically i have 2 requirements around history management :
1. Clear the history
2. Avoid adding a particular URL to the history.

For both I wanted to know how to do it. Please help.

You cannot currently clear the history. However, you can block history-related navigations in CefRenderProcessHandler::OnBeforeNavigation by checking the |navigation_type| parameter and returning true if the type is NAVIGATION_BACK_FORWARD.
