Create MainView and set address quickly fails to load.

[brock8503]

I am noticing a stability issue when setting the address after creating our mainview control. If an address is set directly after creating a new mainview and browser the browser fails to load the address.

Example:

list.Add(new MainView
{
      DataContext = new MainViewModel("about:blank")
});
list[0].Address = "http://www.kylemcfarland.com";
list.Add(new MainView
{
      DataContext = new MainViewModel("about:blank")
});
list[1].Address = "http://www.google.com";

I had something similar where it occasionally failed, and then figured out
that you should make sure the IsBrowserInitialized property is set to true
and/or wait for a PropertyChanged event to happen setting the property to
true. The code looks something like this:

if (myWebView.IsBrowserInitialized) myWebView.Load(someUrl);
else myWebView.PropertyChanged += (sender, eventArgs) =>
{
if (eventArgs.PropertyName == "IsBrowserInitialized" &&
myWebView.IsBrowserInitialized)
myWebView.Load(someUrl);
}

Since it doesn't happen all the time most of the time the property will be
true on first try already, and for the times where it's not the property
changed event handler will take care of it. Hasn't failed ever since!

Sascha, that is the CefSharp1 approach but with the latest master things have changed a bit (to better support MVVM).

Glad to hear that, can't wait to try it out as soon as jornh finishes
RegisterJsObject support :-)

@jornh, you see here that the expectations for you on #159 are high... 😉

[jornh]

@perlun I can easily live with high expectations for #159 as long as you and @JanEggers are the ones putting in the labor on it chop, chop guys! 📆 Clock's ticking towards 3.31.0! 😆

And always motivating to know what you are working on is what (some) people want the most!

Still, (back to on-topic) @perlun I guess @brock8503 ison master so if he has issues we can not close this #305 thing just yet (unless we wan't to live with the work around for now).

@perlun: there is still a issue in cefsharp3 i didnt create a pr for that one yet but we break binding.

we have to use setCurrentValue for all dependency properties otherwise we overwrite the binding with a local value. ie: if load finished and cef calls SetAdress

[JanEggers]

i added a pr #308

[brock8503]

@perlun and @jornh, The simple workaround for this is to initialize with the desired URL. Setting the address some time after the browser is created seems to work fine.

list.Add(new MainView
{
      DataContext = new MainViewModel("http://www.google.com")
});

(Fixed as of #308 merge)
