Getting Started CefGlue Gtk (Win)

Creating .NET CefGlue Gtk Applications (32-bit)

Note: Visual Studio 2017 is preferred. Recent older versions like 2015 should work too but not supported.

1. Create .NET Console Application
2. Ensure that the build platform target is x86.
3. From project property, change "Console Application"" to "Windows Application" [Project -> Properties -> Application -> Output type: "Windows Application"].
4. Add Chromely.CefGlue.Gtk.dll from Nuget or Binaries Folder.
5. If nuget package is not used in 4, add Chromely.Core.dll from Binaries Folder.
6. Add the following code snippet to the Main function in Program.cs.

Notes on Upgrade to CefGlue version 70 and CefSharp version 71 (Chromely v4) - Please see.

class Program
{
   static int Main(string[] args)
   {
      var startUrl = "https://google.com";

      var config = ChromelyConfiguration
                      .Create()
                      .WithHostMode(WindowState.Normal, true)
                      .WithHostTitle("chromely")
                      .WithHostIconFile("chromely.ico")
                      .WithAppArgs(args)
                      .WithHostSize(1000, 600)
                      .WithStartUrl(startUrl);

      using (var window = ChromelyWindow.Create(config))
      {
         return window.Run(args);
      }
  }
}
- Creates Chromely window of size 1000 x 600 pixels.
- Sets the window title to "chromely"
- Sets start url to "https://google.com"
- Centers the window
