How to disable rendering and then re-enable at runtime?

[philip368320]

Hi,

I wish to stop a browser from rendering so that it doesn't make any effort to call my OnPaint function, at least stop it from doing it for a period of time until I am interested to know what is on that browser screen, at which time I want to re-enable the rendering. Because I want to reduce the CPU usage and not have any rendering going on for some pages which are loading and for a period of time.

Firstly was thinking how to do it with what I currently know, I could inject some javascript into the page to create a black HTML div which covers the entire page, that would black out the page while the page loaded under that div, but that's not going to work for all pages and it won't work when the page goes to another URL, my div will disappear.

Is there any solution for this?

Thanks, Philip

Use the CefBrowserHost::WasHidden method.

Thanks a lot, although this method seems more like a query method as its name is WasHidden, but apart from that it does the job well, so I can have many browser now.

Use the CefBrowserHost::WasHidden method.

what is the difference between CefBrowserHost::WasHidden and "Off-Screen Rendering" ?
