CEF for SOLIDWORKS Applications

Dassault Systemes SolidWorks Corp has designed a software module called CEF for SOLIDWORKS Applications. This module enables SOLIDWORKS developers to include web browser functionality directly in their SOLIDWORKS applications without the need for an external browser.

The CEF for SOLIDWORKS Applications module is built using Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) technology, which is an open-source framework that provides a simple way to embed a web browser in a desktop application. With this module, SOLIDWORKS developers can easily create web-based UI elements that are seamlessly integrated into their desktop applications.

Certain benefits of the CEF for SOLIDWORKS Applications module include reduced latency and faster response times since the web content is rendered within the application, increased user engagement and overall user experience, and increased customization options.

• The CEF for SOLIDWORKS Applications module offers the following functionalities:
• 1. A browser control that can be easily customized to meet application requirements
  2. JavaScript execution that allows for seamless interaction between web-based UI elements and desktop application functionality
  3. Access to various browser features such as cookies, local storage, and session storage

By using this framework, developers can design and implement new features more quickly and efficiently than before, making it an invaluable tool for building complex web-based interfaces onto desktop applications.
