Touch screen support #57

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
To enable touch screen support for CEF 1 we would have to introduce
a CEF command line option and call WebKit::WebRuntimeFeatures::enableTouch()
with false/true according to the value in libcef/browser_webkit_init.cc [1].
This would require patching CEF C++ sources.

In CEF 3 we can enable touch events by setting the "touch-events" command line
switch [2] to "auto" or "enabled", it can be done through 
CefApp::OnBeforeCommandLineProcessing() [3], we need to implement the CefApp 
API.

See Issue 786 "Touch support in CEF1 and CEF3 does not match Chromium browser" 
[4]
in the CEF Issue Tracker for more details on touch screen support in CEF 1 and 
CEF 3.

See also RegisterTouchWindow() [5] on the MSDN, it might be required to call 
this
function for the main window.

Apparently multitouch works in the cefclient sample application in CEF 3, 
reported 
in this topic "Windows touch scroll acting as mouse click event" [6] on the CEF 
forum. Can someone confirm that?

When clicking an edit field there is no virtual keyboard appearing, 
but this could be implemented on your own by injecting javascript 
on web pages through LoadHandler.OnLoadStart() or OnLoadEnd(), the 
same can be done for other touch related behavior, when 
--touch-events=enabled flag is passed then javascript touch events 
will be enabled (touchstart, touchend, touchmove), allowing you to 
override the default behavior or implement the missing one.

When switches are set programatically they must be set in two places:
 * CefApp::OnBeforeCommandLineProcessing()
 * CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnBeforeChildProcessLaunch()

See Issue 101 (Linux and Aura).

Michael Goffioul has created a port of CEF with Aura support, that adds 
multitouch support on Linux. See the topic:

See issue 1059 in CEF Issue Tracker:

"Cef3: Multi-touch support with offscreen rendering."
https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/issues/detail?id=1059

In comment #7 there is an initial patch for Windows.

CEF Python supports setting command line switches programmatically, see Issue 
65. This is in regards to the --touch-events=enabled flag.
