Using CefSharp with maui

[CodeDoctorDE]

Hello,

is there a way to integrate cefsharp with a maui application?

[amaitland]

From the little I know about MAUI there's only a single hwnd per window, so a MAUI specific implementation would be required (isn't one currently).

As CefSharp only runs on Windows and MAUI is crossplat it's not clear there would be much call for a MAUI specific implementation.

Are you creating a Windows only MAUI app?

[CodeDoctorDE]

No I try to make it crossplatform

[amaitland]

Maybe checkout MAUI blazor

[CodeDoctorDE]

can i use the cef in maui blazor?

Are there any plans to bring CefSharp to MAUI even if it's for the Windows platform alone?

MAUI already has a WebView, what would be the advantage of using CefSharp exactly?

[fabriceleal]

The API that MAUI exposes for the native WebView lacks some features that I require, the most glaring of them the lack of a RegisterJsObject like method.

Personally I have no need for a MAUI version at this time. I'd have to take on a paying job that required a MAUI implementation to justify the time required.

Someone from the community is welcome to take up the challenge.

See dotnet/maui#12009 (reply in thread) for my proposal to implement this in MAUI using the current WebView.
