CefRunMessageLoop() in my implementation keeps throwing an unkown exception.
I'm not certain how to further troubleshoot.

Modified SimpleApp.cc constructor:
Code: Select all
SimpleApp::SimpleApp (HWND parent_window_HWND, RECT parent_window_RECT)
{
    m_parent_window_HWND = parent_window_HWND;
    m_parent_window_RECT = parent_window_RECT;
}


Modified SimpleApp.cc initialization (why is this not being invoked by CefInitialize?):
Code: Select all
void SimpleApp::OnContextInitialized()
{
    CEF_REQUIRE_UI_THREAD();

    CefRefPtr<CefCommandLine> command_line = CefCommandLine::GetGlobalCommandLine();

    CefRefPtr<SimpleHandler> handler(new SimpleHandler(use_views));

    CefBrowserSettings browser_settings;
    std::string url;
 
  url = command_line->GetSwitchValue("url");
  if (url.empty())
    url = "file://C:/Users/john_/Documents/VST_SDK_3.6.14/my_plugins/againTestCEF3/Controller/EditorView/CEF3Main.html";
 
        CefWindowInfo window_info;

        #if defined(OS_WIN)
            window_info.SetAsChild(m_parent_window_HWND, m_parent_window_RECT);
        #endif
        CefBrowserHost::CreateBrowser(window_info, handler, url, browser_settings,
                                  nullptr, nullptr);
}


Plugin dll entry:
Code: Select all
BOOL WINAPI DllMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID /*lpvReserved*/)
{
    switch(dwReason)
    {
        case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
        {
            ghInst       = hInstance;
            m_UI_thread_event = CreateEvent
            (
                NULL,                    // default security attributes
                TRUE,                    // manual-reset event
                FALSE,                   // initial state is nonsignaled
                TEXT("UI_Thread_Event")  // object name
            );
            //
          CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)Carlsound::againCEF3Test::UiThread, (void*)NULL, 0, 0);
            break;
        }


Plugin dll initialization:
Code: Select all
BOOL Carlsound::againCEF3Test::Init(HWND hWnd, int left, int top, int width, int height)
{
    m_parent_window = hWnd;
    m_window_left   = left;
    m_window_top    = top;
    m_window_width  = width;
    m_window_height = height;
    //
    SetEvent(m_UI_thread_event);


Plugin dll UI thread:
Code: Select all
BOOL WINAPI Carlsound::againCEF3Test::UiThread()
{
    int result = 0;
    DWORD dwEvent = 0;
    dwEvent = WaitForSingleObject(m_UI_thread_event, INFINITE);
    if(WAIT_OBJECT_0 == dwEvent)
    {
        CefMainArgs m_main_args;
        CefSettings m_settings;
        void* m_sandbox_info = nullptr;
       
        CefMainArgs main_args(ghInst);
       
        CefEnableHighDPISupport();
       
        int exit_code = CefExecuteProcess(main_args, nullptr, m_sandbox_info);
        if (exit_code >= 0)
        {
            return exit_code;
        }
        //
        m_child_window = RegisterWindow(ghInst, m_parent_window, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
        //
        m_settings.no_sandbox = TRUE;
        m_settings.multi_threaded_message_loop = TRUE;

   GetClientRect(m_child_window, &m_window_rect);
        CefRefPtr<SimpleApp> m_app(new SimpleApp(m_child_window, m_window_rect));

        CefString(&m_settings.browser_subprocess_path) =
                "C:\\Users\\john_\\Documents\\VST_SDK_3.6.14\\my_plugins\\build_x64\\Debug\\againTestCEF3_Subprocesses_x64.exe";

        CefInitialize(main_args, m_settings, m_app.get(), m_sandbox_info);
       
        try
        {
            CefRunMessageLoop(); // keeps throwing an exception
        }
       catch (const std::exception& e)
        {
        }


Sub-processes exe entry:
Code: Select all
int APIENTRY wWinMain(_In_ HINSTANCE hInstance, _In_opt_ HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, _In_ LPWSTR lpCmdLine, _In_ int nCmdShow)
{
    UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER (hPrevInstance);
    UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER (lpCmdLine);
   
    int result (0);

    CefMainArgs main_args(hInstance);

    int exit_code = CefExecuteProcess(main_args, nullptr, m_sandbox_info);
    if (exit_code >= 0)
    {
        return exit_code;
    }
    //CefInitialize(main_args, m_settings, nullptr, m_sandbox_info);

    //CefRunMessageLoop();
   
    //CefShutdown();
    //
    return result;
}
