Removing Resize border from CefBrowser.

[dancvogel]

My CefBrowser is displaying a resize border and I don't want it too.

I have an MFC application in which I'm using a CEF3 browser to display web content. The CefBrowser gets created as a child of a CFormView.

In ClientApp:CreateBrowser I can set the CefWindowInfo style and ex_style members but that only seems to effect the main CefFrame of the CefBrowser, and not the sub-frame. If i specify WS_BORDER for the style I get the expected WS_BORDER around the resize border.

I found if I create the CefBrowser after my CFormView is shown ( ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) ) the resize border doesn't appear. However, as soon as my window is resized, the CefBrowser once again shows the resize border.

Also, if on the resize event, I use SWP_NOSIZE when I call DeferWindowPos, the border doesn't appear. But then i can't resize my browser view.

What CEF version are you using? Can you attach a screen shot that shows the problem?

I'm using cef_binary_3.2171.1870_windows32

I can see the border on the provided cefclient sample application. When the cefclient is first shown the border is not there, but as soon as I resize the window I see the resize border I'm talking about.

Using Spy++ I see that Chrome_WidgetWin_0 Has the WS_THICKFRAME style. That's most likely the cause.

This sounds like https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembed ... il?id=1401. Try using a newer build from the 2171 branch. This problem does not reproduce for me using current 2171 branch builds of cefclient.

Yep! Using 2171.1902 solves the issue. Thanks!

Hi guys, I am currently seeing this issue with the latest build of the CEF trunk (Chromium 41.0.2217.0). Is there a way I can patch/fix this?

Thanks.

This will be fixed in issue 1401. Use a release branch instead of trunk for the time being.
