Force CEFSharp to download without showing dialog

Question

I have a WPF application with CEFSharp, it's a web browser, when I click on a download link it will show me a dialog and ask me where you want to save the file?
How can I force the web browser to download any files without showing dialog? I want to create some thing like google chrome. so when you click on a download link it will download the file to a default path (usually it's in "Documents/Downloads")

now how can I implement this in my application?
if I need to change CEFSharp source code please tell more details because I found some solution but there aren't a complete example, there was just a part of code! thank you.

There is an example in the main CefSharp GitHub repository

This search points to the relevant code bits: https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/search?q=DownloadHandler&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93

You see the common example handler in the CefSharp.Example project gets instantiated from both the CefSharp.Example.WinForms and CefSharp.Example.Wpf projects. It's not that long since I tried playing around with the WinForms one, I'm less sure about the WPF one but with a quick glance it looks functional. If not it's a bug that needs fixing!

If you perform a search for IDownloadHandler you should see the documentation of the interface. It sounds like in your case you want to set the showDialog parameter to false.

Despite the downloads directory being remembered when the dialog was showing, I found that setting showDialog to false defaulted the save path to where the app was running. So recommend setting the path too. Here is the complete line callback.Continue(Path.Combine(@"C:\Downloads\", downloadItem.SuggestedFileName), showDialog: false); – Civility

is it possible to miss OpenFileDialog and write pre-coded path's as result of it? – Joinder
