is CEF (build CEF 3.2454.1320) in MFC supported

[meitis1]

I looked into :
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11606&p=27621#p27621

But that is in 'Board index ‹ NON-SUPPORT SPECIFIC' so I am wandering should CEF work in MFC application ?
I looked in demo cefclient and unlike old CEF1 it doesn't show anymore any use of CreateBrowserSync but the function is still available.
As you can see in that thread I tried and looks like it works but my main problem for now is cleaning i.e. exiting dialog.
I can't find any explanation/documentation on how I should clean/destroy/stop cef and run it again later in another dialog.
any help is very appreciated.
thanks

Google "cef mfc example"

sorry but I have to say this is not an answer and please don't reply if you don't want to answer.
I did google a lot more than just what you said.
There is also in viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11606&p=27621#p27621
example that I took and upgraded to latest CEF and I had issues so I asked here is MFC supported because there is no clear example of it nor clear instructions on how to use it.
Your "cefclient" and "cefsimple" are now so simplistic and so many cef can do that is not shown in that demo.
There is so many ways CEF can be adopted and embedded into other applications but examples and instructions are so out of date or simply not existing that I had no choice but to rely on this forum as my last hope and I am getting answers "do google how to use it".
I'll just give you one single sample:
in your latest "cefclient" you do:
// Create a ClientApp of the correct type.
CefRefPtr<CefApp> app;
ClientApp::ProcessType process_type = ClientApp::GetProcessType(command_line);
if (process_type == ClientApp::BrowserProcess)
app = new ClientAppBrowser();
else if (process_type == ClientApp::RendererProcess)
app = new ClientAppRenderer();
else if (process_type == ClientApp::OtherProcess)
app = new ClientAppOther();

Now in mfc there is no command line in CCef3SamplesMfcDialogApp::InitInstance() so I think you understand how it is logical to ask at least one simple question:What is the right way to do this in MFC?
So many other questions. I have to work for days to build sample MFC app only to see if it is possible and how to have synchronized JS call from cef to desktop app.
It would be so helpful and reduce number of questions in this forum if proper examples were made and included and not only 'cefclient' and 'cefsimple'.
thanks

You're correct, it was a bad answer. Sorry about that. Unfortunately it's not feasible for the CEF project to provide and maintain examples in every framework.

CEF is used in MFC applications. The same guidelines documented in the Wiki pages apply to MFC (for example, don't call CefInitialize/CefShutdown multiple times). If you are having specific issues with one of the existing MFC examples returned by the above Google search then you should contact the maintainer of that example.

[meitis1]

thank you.
I already tried and it looks like nobody is updating that sample anymore so I started my own testing sample.
By now it goes well except that any recent cef build is crashing on exit.
Same (lot of exceptions) happens with cefclient in cef_binary_3.2454.1320.g807de3c_windows32 if I set multi_threaded_message_loop = 1.
Any idea what I am missing there or maybe whom/where I can ask about cefclient ?

The crash is probably https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/1680. Try the work-around mentioned in that issue.
