Block new windows - load in main window

[Fumarmata]

Hello,

I have embedded CEF in my app and I would like it to never spawn new windows / popups, but load them in the same window.

How can I accomplish that? Where can I start looking?

Thanks

Implement CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforePopup: https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef ... dler.h#L56

There is no "tabs" feature in CEF, so you only have to take care of popups.

Thanks!
If somebody unexperienced like me wants to try, changing the contents of the method to this will make the popup open in the same window:

Code: Select all

   browser->GetMainFrame()->LoadURL(target_url);
   return true;

You need to cancel the popup by returning true, but you also need to have the parent window do the same navigation by having it load the request.
