Looped reload of devtools - how to get rid of?

[lofti198]

Launching devtools I get looped reload and refresh of the window. Why does that happen in winforms browser version?

I'm doing the same without any issue. I do check IsBrowserInitialized first.

Private Sub Browser_IsBrowserInitializedChanged(Sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Browser.IsBrowserInitializedChanged
	If DeferDevTools And Browser.IsBrowserInitialized Then
		ShowDevTools()
	End If
End Sub

If you are using WinForms then there is no need for the IsBrowserInitialized check in the
IsBrowserInitializedChanged event.

The event is only raised once after the underlying CEF browser instance has been created.

I'd say there is a mistake in your code somewhere. Would need more detail to say more.

Please no images of code, markdown formatted code please.

Ok I see. What you mean by markdown formatted code?

I'm wondering if your Form is attempting to take focus at the same time as devtools launches and causing some sort of loop.

You can try opening DevTools on the UI Thread.

private void BrowserIsBrowserInitializedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var browser = (ChromiumWebBrowser)sender;

	browser.BeginInvoke((Action)delegate
	{
		browser.ShowDevTools();
	});
}
