I'm trying to add a keyboard shortcut that would show the Chrome "find on page" controls using the following code:

Code: C# 
browser.WebBrowser.Shortcuts = new EO.WebBrowser.Shortcut[]
            {
                //Ctrl + F triggers CommandIds.Find command
                new EO.WebBrowser.Shortcut(CommandIds.Find, KeyCode.F, true, false, false)
    
            };


But nothing happens when I run this and hit "CTRL+F". When I change it to CommandIds.Back and KeyCode.Back, it works fine, so I know my code is executing correctly. Has the Find command been implemented in your tool? If so is there a reason this could be failing? If not, is there a reason you list CommandIds.Find?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

It's a mistake that CommandIds.Find exists. Find feature has two parts:

1. Displaying the find dialog to prompt user to enter the text they wish to find. This is probably what "Ctrl+F" should trigger;
2. Find the text entered in step 1 in the WebView;

Part #1 does not have anything to do with the WebView and the WebView does not have any built-in implementation for this. Part #2 is supported by the WebView but it can't function alone without part #1.

It is possible for you to support Find shortcuts as long as you provide the UI for part #1. You can follow these steps to implement this:

1. Handle the WebView's Command event and display your UI for #1;
2. When user press OK or enter in your UI, call this method to start a search:

Next you can keep calling this method:

You can call this method to cancel the search:

Thanks!
