Do some work while CefRunMessageLoop active

[newaira]

Hi there!

Assuming I have an application such as cefsimple running, does anyone have any suggestion as to how I could have it communicate with another process? What I don't understand is how I can do any checks/work once CefRunMessageLoop is called, since it blocks the main thread until program is finished.

Would I need to spawn a separate thread that would take care of the communication (eg. sockets/pipes). Would this thread need to sync up with the main thread if I wanted to call something like CefBrowserHost::SendKeyEvent ?

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

It's probably easier to execute your code in a separate thread and post tasks to the relevant CEF threads where required.

The API documentation is usually very specific about what methods need to be run on specific threads.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.
