CefSharp LoadUrl when browser not initialized

I came across other CefSharp related thread where it was stated that LoadUrl() will fail if ChromiumWebBrowser wasn't yet initialized. However in my code, I call LoadUrl immediately after having created ChromiumWebBrowser instance and it works perfectly fine.

var browser = new ChromiumWebBrowser();
control.Content = browser;
browser.LoadUrl(url);

Please note I instantiate the class without address parameter.

I was thinking that maybe I should handle IsBrowserInitializedChanged event and LoadUrl there instead, but this seems to be working. What is the right approach?

Solution

  • Starting in version 95 it is no longer required to wait for the browser to initialize.

    Calling LoadUrl immediately after instantiating a ChromiumWebBrowser instance in WPF will internally set the initial address which as the name implies is the url initially loaded in the browser.

    So your code is fine as is.
