WPF: IChromiumWebBrowserBase.Find() questions

[chucker]

I was able to implement a basic find panel that highlights matches. However:

• Edge (and presumably other Chromium browsers) has a notion of the 'primary' search result, and highlights that in orange instead of yellow. I'm unsure if this is missing in CEF, or if I need to first implement IFindHandler to indicate which result I wish to highlight was 'primary'. Without this, I don't really see the point of the forward and findNext parameters; they don't appear to make a user-visible difference.
• IFindHandler.OnFindResult gives me a selectionRect. It would be nice to jump to that and/or scroll it into view if not currently visible. However, I can't find any method that will let me scroll that rect into view. The closest I can find are various JS-based approaches (e.g., Need help to implement scroll on the webpage #4003). Is that really the best approach?

I've not needed to use the Find API for some time, so it's possible that it's not as intended anymore.

Basically CefSharp just provides a wrapper around the CEF API.

There's an example of using the API in the CEF sample application. https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef/blob/2c5dd120c74a2dc61f07b9043ed26ccb977298c3/tests/cefclient/browser/root_window_win.cc#L905

From memory it should have a similar behaviour to Chromium.

I'd suggest testing with the CEF Sample Application (cefclient) and seeing how it behaves.

Download and extract https://cef-builds.spotifycdn.com/cef_binary_122.1.7%2Bgdd187af%2Bchromium-122.0.6261.29_windows64_client.tar.bz2

Launch cefclient with the following command line args (this is very important)

 cefclient.exe --multi-threaded-message-loop --no-sandbox --off-screen-rendering-enabled --enable-gpu
