Detailed Description

Implement this interface to handle events related to CefFrame life span.

The order of callbacks is:

(1) During initial CefBrowserHost creation and navigation of the main frame:

(2) During further CefBrowserHost navigation/loading of the main frame and/or sub-frames:

  • CefFrameHandler::OnFrameCreated => A new main frame or sub-frame object has been created. Any commands will be queued until the frame is attached.
  • CefFrameHandler::OnFrameAttached => A new main frame or sub-frame object is now connected to its peer in the renderer process. Commands can be routed.
  • CefFrameHandler::OnFrameDetached => An existing main frame or sub-frame object has lost its connection to the renderer process. If multiple objects are detached at the same time then notifications will be sent for any sub-frame objects before the main frame object. Commands can no longer be routed and will be discarded.
  • CefFremeHadler::OnFrameDestroyed => An existing main frame or sub-frame object has been destroyed.
  • CefFrameHandler::OnMainFrameChanged => A new main frame object has been assigned to the browser. This will only occur with cross-origin navigation or re-navigation after renderer process termination (due to crashes, etc).

(3) During final CefBrowserHost destruction of the main frame:

  • CefFrameHandler::OnFrameDetached => Any sub-frame objects have lost their connection to the renderer process. Commands can no longer be routed and will be discarded.
  • CefFreameHandler::OnFrameDestroyed => Any sub-frame objects have been destroyed.
  • CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforeClose => The browser has been destroyed.
  • CefFrameHandler::OnFrameDetached => The main frame object have lost its connection to the renderer process. Notifications will be sent for any sub-frame objects before the main frame object. Commands can no longer be routed and will be discarded.
  • CefFreameHandler::OnFrameDestroyed => The main frame object has been destroyed.
  • CefFrameHandler::OnMainFrameChanged => The final main frame object has been removed from the browser.

Special handling applies for cross-origin loading on creation/navigation of sub-frames, and cross-origin loading on creation of new popup browsers. A temporary frame will first be created in the parent frame's renderer process. This temporary frame will never attach and will be discarded after the real cross-origin frame is created in the new/target renderer process. The client will receive creation callbacks for the temporary frame, followed by cross-origin navigation callbacks (2) for the transition from the temporary frame to the real frame. The temporary frame will not receive or execute commands during this transitional period (any sent commands will be discarded).

When the main frame navigates to a different origin the OnMainFrameChanged callback (2) will be executed with the old and new main frame objects.

Callbacks will not be executed for placeholders that may be created during pre-commit navigation for sub-frames that do not yet exist in the renderer process. Placeholders will have CefFrame::GetIdentifier() == -4.

The methods of this class will be called on the UI thread unless otherwise indicated.

Member Function Documentation

◆ OnFrameAttached()

virtual void CefFrameHandler::OnFrameAttached ( CefRefPtr< CefBrowser browser,
CefRefPtr< CefFrame frame,
bool  reattached 
)
inlinevirtual

Called when a frame can begin routing commands to/from the associated renderer process.

|reattached| will be true if the frame was re-attached after exiting the BackForwardCache or after encountering a recoverable connection error. Any queued commands will now have been dispatched. This method will not be called for temporary frames created during cross-origin navigation.

◆ OnFrameCreated()

virtual void CefFrameHandler::OnFrameCreated ( CefRefPtr< CefBrowser browser,
CefRefPtr< CefFrame frame 
)
inlinevirtual

Called when a new frame is created.

This will be the first notification that references |frame|. Any commands that require transport to the associated renderer process (LoadRequest, SendProcessMessage, GetSource, etc.) will be queued. The queued commands will be sent before OnFrameAttached or discarded before OnFrameDestroyed if the frame never attaches.

◆ OnFrameDestroyed()

virtual void CefFrameHandler::OnFrameDestroyed ( CefRefPtr< CefBrowser browser,
CefRefPtr< CefFrame frame 
)
inlinevirtual

Called when an existing frame is destroyed.

This will be the last notification that references |frame| and CefFrame::IsValid() will return false for |frame|. If called during browser destruction and after CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforeClose() then CefBrowser::IsValid() will return false for |browser|. Any queued commands that have not been sent will be discarded before this callback.

◆ OnFrameDetached()

virtual void CefFrameHandler::OnFrameDetached ( CefRefPtr< CefBrowser browser,
CefRefPtr< CefFrame frame 
)
inlinevirtual

Called when a frame loses its connection to the renderer process.

This may occur when a frame is destroyed, enters the BackForwardCache, or encounters a rare connection error. In the case of frame destruction this call will be followed by a (potentially async) call to OnFrameDestroyed. If frame destruction is occuring synchronously then CefFrame::IsValid() will return false for |frame|. If called during browser destruction and after CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforeClose() then CefBrowser::IsValid() will return false for |browser|. If, in the non-destruction case, the same frame later exits the BackForwardCache or recovers from a connection error then there will be a follow-up call to OnFrameAttached. This method will not be called for temporary frames created during cross-origin navigation.

◆ OnMainFrameChanged()

virtual void CefFrameHandler::OnMainFrameChanged ( CefRefPtr< CefBrowser browser,
CefRefPtr< CefFrame old_frame,
CefRefPtr< CefFrame new_frame 
)
inlinevirtual

Called when the main frame changes due to (a) initial browser creation, (b) final browser destruction, (c) cross-origin navigation or (d) re-navigation after renderer process termination (due to crashes, etc).

|old_frame| will be NULL and |new_frame| will be non-NULL when a main frame is assigned to |browser| for the first time. |old_frame| will be non-NULL and |new_frame| will be NULL when a main frame is removed from |browser| for the last time. Both |old_frame| and |new_frame| will be non-NULL for cross-origin navigations or re-navigation after renderer process termination. This method will be called after OnFrameCreated() for |new_frame| and/or after OnFrameDestroyed() for |old_frame|. If called during browser destruction and after CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforeClose() then CefBrowser::IsValid() will return false for |browser|.
