CefRenderHandler::OnTextSelectionChanged not fired

[Czarek]

When I select text programmatically using javascript API the OnTextSelectionChanged callback is not getting called. Is this expected? I am creating unit tests and when I execute CefBrowser.SendMouseClickEvent to emulate mouse selection it works fine, but when I try to do the same using javascript code it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

        const selection = window.getSelection();
        const range = document.createRange();
        range.selectNodeContents(node);
        selection.removeAllRanges();
        selection.addRange(range);


Another thing I noticed is that in CEF unittest text selection is accomplished by making two SendMouseClickEvent calls. When I try to do the same in my app it doesn't work. It starts working only after I make an additional SendMouseMoveEvent between these two clicks. However there is no mouse move event done in CEF unit tests, so I wonder why it works in CEF unit tests. CEF tests code here:

Yes that's expected. This handler is called via IPC from the renderer process which for this is expecting to be triggered by mouse events.
The test case does a mouse down followed by a mouse up. And is just clicking inside a text edit box which, by definition, does a select all of the text inside.
