Multi instance As The First Instance's sub-process

[wuzebin55]

I notice that no matter how many Chrome instance created, all of them are regarded as sub-process of the first instance

but cefclient.exe is a whole new separate instance.

here is the process trees

does someone knows how to make cef3's process work like Chrome's

I have try to set CefSettings::browser_subprocess_path to exe's path.but it doesn't work : (

Are you opening multiple instances of `cefsimple`?

(You say cefclient.exe, the screenshot says otherwise).

yes, I create two cefsimple.exe

but I create two Chrome.exe also,there still one Chrome.exe prcess tree.

I don't believe starting multiple instances of Chrome actually spawns multiple instances of Chrome. More like subsequent launches spawns multiple windows under the original running process (unless I"m mistaken).

If you required this then you'd probably have to implement some sort of mutex and communication via some form of IPC.

You can create a `tabbed browser` using a single browser process and multiple sub processes relatively easily. You use multiple calls to `CreateBrowser`.

Thanks for your information.
