Opening devtools for pop windows

[tashimaya]

Hi

I have worked out how to open devtools from the main window like this:

Code: Select all

class KeyboardHandler : public CefKeyboardHandler
{
   bool OnKeyEvent(...)
   {
      // Catch Ctrl+Shift+i, do ShowDevTools() then return true;
      
      return false;
   }
}


But I am not sure how to do the same for pop windows because OnKeyEvent does not get called for them. Could anybody show me how to do that?

Many thanks

OnKeyEvent should be called for popup windows. What OS and CEF version are you using? Are you providing a different CefClient for the popup window via OnBeforePopup?

Many thanks for your quick reply.

Yes that's the case. In my OnBeforePopup() I'm creating a dummy CefClient object:

Code: Select all

bool OnBeforePopup(...)
{
   client = new DummyWebClient(); // If I comment out my OnKeyEvent() gets called
   return false;
}
 
private sealed class DummyWebClient : CefClient
{
}

So if I change the client for the new pop window, is there any way to make the window to listen for the OnKeyEvent?

You need to implement CefKeyboardHandler in the CefClient for the popup window.
