Variables

add_dev_tools_message_observer
cef_registration_t* function(cef_browser_host_t* self, cef_dev_tools_message_observer_t* observer) nothrow add_dev_tools_message_observer;

Add an observer for DevTools protocol messages (function results and events). The observer will remain registered until the returned Registration object is destroyed. See the SendDevToolsMessage documentation for additional usage information.

add_word_to_dictionary
void function(cef_browser_host_t* self, const(cef_string_t)* word) nothrow add_word_to_dictionary;

Add the specified |word| to the spelling dictionary.

base
cef_base_ref_counted_t base;

Base structure.

can_zoom
int function(cef_browser_host_t* self, cef_zoom_command_t command) nothrow can_zoom;

Returns true (1) if this browser can execute the specified zoom command. This function can only be called on the UI thread.

close_browser
void function(cef_browser_host_t* self, int force_close) nothrow close_browser;

Request that the browser close. The JavaScript 'onbeforeunload' event will be fired. If |force_close| is false (0) the event handler, if any, will be allowed to prompt the user and the user can optionally cancel the close. If |force_close| is true (1) the prompt will not be displayed and the close will proceed. Results in a call to

close_dev_tools
void function(cef_browser_host_t* self) nothrow close_dev_tools;

Explicitly close the associated DevTools browser, if any.

download_image
void function(cef_browser_host_t* self, const(cef_string_t)* image_url, int is_favicon, uint max_image_size, int bypass_cache, cef_download_image_callback_t* callback) nothrow download_image;

Download |image_url| and execute |callback| on completion with the images received from the renderer. If |is_favicon| is true (1) then cookies are not sent and not accepted during download. Images with density independent pixel (DIP) sizes larger than |max_image_size| are filtered out from the image results. Versions of the image at different scale factors may be downloaded up to the maximum scale factor supported by the system. If there are no image results <= |max_image_size| then the smallest image is resized to |max_image_size| and is the only result. A |max_image_size| of 0 means unlimited. If |bypass_cache| is true (1) then |image_url| is requested from the server even if it is present in the browser cache.

drag_source_ended_at
void function(cef_browser_host_t* self, int x, int y, cef_drag_operations_mask_t op) nothrow drag_source_ended_at;

Call this function when the drag operation started by a

Call this function when the user drags the mouse into the web view (before calling DragTargetDragOver/DragTargetLeave/DragTargetDrop). |drag_data| should not contain file contents as this type of data is not allowed to be dragged into the web view. File contents can be removed using

drag_target_drag_leave
void function(cef_browser_host_t* self) nothrow drag_target_drag_leave;

Call this function when the user drags the mouse out of the web view (after calling DragTargetDragEnter). This function is only used when window rendering is disabled.

void function(cef_browser_host_t* self, const(cef_mouse_event_t)* event) nothrow drag_target_drop;

Call this function when the user completes the drag operation by dropping the object onto the web view (after calling DragTargetDragEnter). The object being dropped is |drag_data|, given as an argument to the previous DragTargetDragEnter call. This function is only used when window rendering is disabled.

execute_dev_tools_method
int function(cef_browser_host_t* self, int message_id, const(cef_string_t)* method, cef_dictionary_value_t* params) nothrow execute_dev_tools_method;

Execute a function call over the DevTools protocol. This is a more structured version of SendDevToolsMessage. |message_id| is an incremental number that uniquely identifies the message (pass 0 to have the next number assigned automatically based on previous values). |function| is the function name. |params| are the function parameters, which may be NULL. See the DevTools protocol documentation (linked above) for details of supported functions and the expected |params| dictionary contents. This function will return the assigned message ID if called on the UI thread and the message was successfully submitted for validation, otherwise 0. See the SendDevToolsMessage documentation for additional usage information.

exit_fullscreen
void function(cef_browser_host_t* self, int will_cause_resize) nothrow exit_fullscreen;

Requests the renderer to exit browser fullscreen. In most cases exiting window fullscreen should also exit browser fullscreen. With the Alloy runtime this function should be called in response to a user action such as clicking the green traffic light button on MacOS (cef_window_delegate_t::OnWindowFullscreenTransition callback) or pressing the "ESC" key (cef_keyboard_handler_t::OnPreKeyEvent callback). With the Chrome runtime these standard exit actions are handled internally but new/additional user actions can use this function. Set |will_cause_resize| to true (1) if exiting browser fullscreen will cause a view resize.
