CreateBrowser window focus

[rashid301]

Hi all,
I am using

Code: Select all

CefBrowserHost::CreateBrowser()

to create a notification in the system tray. It works fine when the main window is open(active/inactive both). When I close the main window, it runs in the background. Now when I get a notification, thee CreateBrowser steals the focus of the window from the ForegroundWindow. Is there a way to create a browser and display it without stealing the focus from the other window?

Implement CefFocusHandler::OnSetFocus and return true.

Sorry, I am new to CEF. What you are saying is create a class that implements CefFocusHandler and send it as some argument? Could you please elaborate?

Implement the CefFocusHandler interface. Return an instance from CefClient::GetFocusHandler. See the cefclient or cefsimple sample application for reference.

Implementing CefFocusHandler with OnSetFocus returning "true" is not fixing the steal focus problem. I am using CEF3 ver. 2704. Is there any additional work to be done?. Is this because CEF calls SetForeGroundWindow API . I can only prevent the steal focus by doing a LockSetForegroundWindow - lock/unlock around the code when browser window is created. Any advise?
