[SOLVED]Should subprocess source code same with main process

[slothsimon]

Hi guys, I am struggling to integrate cef into a game. I used separate sub-process exe according to wiki.

So the background is I have BrowserApp & BrowserHandler source code both in game project and sub-process project of VS.

What I want to know is Should the sub-process source code be same with the main application's? If different, will any bad problems happen? Because I have no idea how to use one project's source file from another project...But I don't want to maintain two copies in different places which seems to be a bad idea.

BTW, another question is when the main application is full-screen, after the web page pops up the active window will not change from main app to the popup. How to make the active window change into the popup window?

Thank you!

CefApp::OnRegisterCustomSchemes needs to be implemented the same way in every process. Other than that just follow the instructions at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... t-function

What OS and CEF version? How are you making the main window full-screen? How are you making the popup window?

What OS and CEF version? How are you making the main window full-screen? How are you making the popup window?

OS: Windows 7 64bit
CEF version: 2623 binary release version
The code used to making popup window:

Code: Select all

void BrowserApp::OpenURL(const std::string& url){
   CEF_REQUIRE_UI_THREAD();

   CefWindowInfo window_info;

   window_info.SetAsPopup(NULL, "WebBrowser");

   CefRefPtr<BrowserHandler> handler(new BrowserHandler());

   CefBrowserSettings browser_settings;

   std::string urltmp = url;

   if (urltmp.empty())
      urltmp = "about:blank";

   CefBrowserHost::CreateBrowser(window_info, handler.get(), urltmp,
      browser_settings, NULL);   
}


And the way to fullsceen, I actually don't know the mechanism. I enter the game to choose full-screen option. I checked the source code, it seems like use console command like following:

Code: Select all

   wxString StrCommand;
   StrCommand.Printf(TEXT("setres %dx%d%s"), width, height, bFullscreen?TEXT("f"):TEXT(""));
   GetGame()->ExecConsoleCommand( StrCommand.GetData() );

I figured it out by myself. The reason why the active window won't be changed to the popup is the whole screen is controlled by D3D when entering fullscreen. Even I let the browser be the child window of the game window, it will not show the browser window.

As I know, there are tow possible ways. I want to share with your guys because I stuck here for a long time.

1. use non-exclusive fullscreen mode, but it will reduce the application's performance
2. use off-screen rendering, but there are lots of stuff to implement
