cef3 create and destroy browser

[paulkatto]

Hi,

I'm using cef3 trunk version in offscreen render mode and I am having trouble closing and opening browser instances. My offscreen rendering is not attached to any HWND handle, I just use the whole thing to upload the contents to an OGL texture. I tried all sort of things:

offscreenClient->GetBrowser()->GetHost()->CloseBrowser()
and/or
offscreenClient->GetBrowser()->Release()
and/or
offscreenClient->Release()

Where offscreenClient inherits:

CefClient,
CefContextMenuHandler,
CefDisplayHandler,
CefDownloadHandler,
CefGeolocationHandler,
CefKeyboardHandler,
CefLifeSpanHandler,
CefLoadHandler,
CefRenderHandler,
CefRequestHandler


without success. Somewhere in the system the instance is still registered calling e.g. GetViewportSize. Eventually the whole thing crashes. Is there some reliable way to destroy a Browser instance?

Thanks,

Paul

What revision are you using? CefBrowserHost::CloseBrowser() is the correct method.

using 1138.... should I upgrade?

Probably. The shutdown procedure has changed. See comments on CefLifeSpanHandler::DoClose() after you update.

for the record: the problem was me returning true in DoClose, replacing that with false did the trick. Thanks for your suggestion (to read the doc!).
