CEF Forum

Hi everybody.
I provided my own cefclient implementation which implements CefFocusHandler.
I expect that everytime I click out of the browser CefFocusHandler::OnTakeFocus would be called and when i click back into the browser, CefFocusHandler::OnSetFocus would be called. But it turned out now the case.
first time I clicked in the browser OnSetFocus is called, click out, OnTakeFocus is NOT called and when i clicked back OnSetFocus is not called, instead OnGotFocus is called. Anyone could explain this wierd behavior??
I tried BrowserHost::SetFocus(false) as well, it seems that BroswerHost::SetFocus simple returns if i pass in false as parameter and not doing anything. Is this a bug???? Should not it make the browser loose the focus so that when i click back again OnSetFocus would be called??

thanks

What OS and CEF version? Does it reproduce in cefclient?

It is Linux and i am using the latest cef version. and you can see from the source code here https://gitlab.collabora.com/web/cef/bl ... nux.cc:150
it really does not do anything when you pass false.

The callback behavior sounds correct based on the CefFocusHandler documentation, and SetFocus(false) intentionally does nothing in windowed mode. You can test on Windows/macOS to verify consistency across platforms.

Then how am i supposed to know when the user clicked outside the browser and when it clicks in??

The OS delivers focus notifications to the window that gains/loses focus. Inside the browser window you can get the notifications via JavaScript.
