Spellcheck in minimal example

[j3s]

Hello everyone,

I can't get spellchecking to work on windows platform with CefSharp minimal example. I'm aware of this post:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18269&p=50206&hilit=spellcheck#p50206

and added this line in minimal example
settings.CefCommandLineArgs.Add("--disable-features","CalculateNativeWinOcclusion,WinUseBrowserSpellChecker");
(I tried without -- and only WinUseBrowserSpellChecker but to no avail)

chrome://versions shows this command line:
"C:\import\CefSharp.MinimalExample-master\CefSharp.MinimalExample.WinForms\bin.net472\Debug\net472\CefSharp.MinimalExample.WinForms.net472.exe" --browser-subprocess-path="C:\import\CefSharp.MinimalExample-master\CefSharp.MinimalExample.WinForms\bin.net472\Debug\net472\x64\CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe" --no-sandbox --lang=en-US --log-file="c:\logs\cefsharp638626982442714674.log" --log-severity=verbose --disable-features=EnableHangWatcher --disable-chrome-login-prompt --enable-media-stream --use-fake-ui-for-media-stream --enable-usermedia-screen-capturing --disable-features=CalculateNativeWinOcclusion,WinUseBrowserSpellChecker --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end

There are two "disable-features" options in command line, mine and EnableHangWatcher. This seems to be part of libcef. Not sure if this is the reason for this problem.

If it is required to complile libcef with this option I also take hints on where to set that switch

Any hints appreciated. Regards.


update2: use_browser_spellchecker=false in GN_DEFINES is not a valid option

I think you'll find that WinUseBrowserSpellChecker was removed from Chromium some time ago.

I'm not sure what the current solution is, if there is one. There are others reporting issues (not just CefSharp users).

Joining in the conversation at viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18269&hilit=spellcheck&start=10#p56102 is probably your best bet at this point.

My guess would be that it's not working for Alloy styled windows. @magreenblatt might have more insight.

Thanks for you prompt reply!

I'm not sure how to proceed, but I'll guess I'll follow the mentioned threads. The difference between alloy and chrome bootstrap (not even sure I'm using the correct word 'bootstrap' here - it was used in the referenced thread) is over my head. I'm using cefsharp and hope to achieve chromium like results. Does this mean, that Chromium (not Google Chrome) on Windows currently does not have a spellchecker?

Thanks for the support!

The GitHub issue has been reopend https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef ... 2377628839

Alloy style is default for WinForms for historical reasons, you can try the newer Chrome style which in theory should work.

I would expect Chromium spell checking to work on windows. The issue is CEF specific
