Programmatically terminate CEF based application

[tashimaya]

I'm using a custom URL scheme as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914(v=vs.85).aspx

Code: Select all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
      (Default) = "URL:MyApp Protocol"
      URL Protocol = ""
      DefaultIcon
         (Default) = "myapp.exe,1"
      shell
         open
            command
               (Default) = "C:\Program Files\MyApp\myapp.exe" -url "%1"

I have a web page with links:

Code: Select all

<a href="myapp://bbc.co.uk">myapp://bbc.co.uk</a> // 1
<a href="myapp://close">myapp://close</a> // 2

When I click on 1, command line argument -url "bbc.co.uk" is passed to my CEF based application, the application starts up and loads the page fine.

What I would like to achieve is to close the application cleanly when I click on 2.

How can I programmatically terminate a CEF based application cleanly?

That depends on the application and OS. If using a windowed browser you probably want to close the top-level window (post WM_CLOSE message on Windows).
