Detecting page navigation

[RenderMonkey]

Hello all,

I am probably missing something simple here but how can detect when an URL is being requested through a navigation, that is for instance a new page request through a click on a link or the loading of the specified startup page.
I am aware of CefRequestHandler::OnBeforeBrowse and CefRenderProcessHandler::OnBeforeNavigation but they don't really help me since they can get called multiple times per loaded page (I thought OnBeforeNavigation would do the trick but it doesnt seem to do what I think it does since it gets triggered multiple times so I guess navigation means something different in this context). I am interested in tracking the startup page and link navigation but not the loaded resources of the pages themselves.

Thanks for the help!

Does your webpage have frames? Most of the functions related to navigation will be called multiple times, once for each frame.

In most cases you need to check `CefFrame::IsMain()` for the primary navigation event.

You also need to consider redirects triggering the calls more than once.
