When I attempt to add CefSharp to a Panel or Groupbox it doesn't display anything (by that I mean that the webbrowser doesn't show, even a blank page, only the control background is visible as if there is nothing added).
But when I use "Me" instead, it works normally. Why is that? Is it not possible to add it to wherever you want?
Public Class Form_Main
Private WithEvents chromeBrowser As ChromiumWebBrowser
Public Sub InitializeChromium()
InitializeComponent()
Dim CEF_settings As New CefSettings With {
.CachePath = "Cache"
}
CefSharp.Cef.Initialize(CEF_settings)
chromeBrowser = New ChromiumWebBrowser("www.google.com") With {
.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
}
Panel1.Controls.Add(chromeBrowser) 'With Me.Controls.Add(chromeBrowser) it works
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
InitializeChromium()
End Sub
End Class
I don't know why, but changing the Method name to "New" fixes it.
So instead of
Public Sub InitializeChromium()
'Stuff"
End Sub
it must be
Public Sub New()
'Stuff"
End Sub
Now the webbrowser gets displayed no matter where it's placed.
