CEF3: How can I pass CefBrowser object to other process?

[Czarek]

Hi,

CefRenderProcessHandler::OnBrowserCreated(CefBrowser browser) is called on the Render process,
how can I forward this event / pass this browser object to main application process (Browser process
in that case)? I could pass an identifier, but seems there is no function like GetBrowserByIdentifier()
that would return CefBrowser for given identifier. What are mine options?

Czarek.

CefBrowser::SendProcessMessage from the render process ends up calling CefClient::OnProcessMessageReceived in the browser process. The associated CefBrowser is passed as a parameter to OnProcessMessageReceived. Does that satisfy your use case?

That would work great. Thank you for the hint.

In CefRenderProcessHandler I see other methods that have more than only browser in
parameters, for example OnBeforeNavigation has CefFrame & CefRequest, is it also
possible to forward them to Browser process?

Frames can be uniquely identified using CefFrame::GetIdentifier(). For requests you would need to serialize them into a CefProcessMessage and pass them in that way.

I can loop through all frames and get it by identifier, yes, that should work. Thank you.

You don't need to loop, use CefBrowser::GetFrame.

Ahh I missed that, CEF 3 api seems still new to me, there was no such method in CEF 1, thanks.
