Using CEF inside a Photoshop Plugin instead of basic HWND
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hello,
I have an issue about integrating CEF inside a Photoshop Plugin. (Note that I'm on Windows 7, using latest Spotify CEF build = cef_binary_3.3282.1733.g9091548_windows64).
So lets start from the beginning, Im using Photoshop CS6 SDK, Im building a Photoshop Plugin for CS and CC (Note that Adobe created their own CEF integration in Photoshop CC, but not for CS).
In the SDK, you have the following code :
Which is the code that the Plugin call when its about to render a UI, note that GetDLLInstance() is the function returning the instance of the Plugin inside Photoshop.exe.
So Im trying to replace the DialogBoxParam, by a call to a CEF, by using the following,
The windows seems to be generated with a title (cefsimple), but that it, nothing is render inside (Full white windows), despite the url is still pointing on http://www.google.com, I also tried to point on a local index.html in-case, but same thing.
And when looking to the console output (With log_severity = LOGSEVERITY_VERBOSE), I have the following errors :
After that, there are a tons more a message about "Histogram:" and tons of text, I didn't copy since its too long and maybe irrelevant, and the end of that log finish with :
Without verbosity, I just see the 3 followings line about CEF:
I achieve to disable gpu using the OnBeforeCommandLineProcessing. This only removes the line about "Failed to launch GPU process.", the Lost UI and Check failed persist.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong ? Is there anything about the GetDllInstant() that I provided to CefMainArgs ? is Photoshop.exe process blocking CEF for an unknown reason ?
I understand that Photoshop.exe might be connected to the GPU, so CEF multi-process could not connect to it, but that not important for me. So I would like to know, what could I do or test a settings to get something working ?
PS: when closing the windows, a lot of exceptions are thrown by photoshop and CEF, I don't really mind right now, because it might due to the current error anyway.
Thanks

In the SDK, you have the following code :
- Code: Select all
Boolean DoUI(void)
{
PlatformData* platform = (PlatformData*)(gFilterRecord->platformData);
INT_PTR result = DialogBoxParam(GetDLLInstance(),
(LPSTR)"DISSOLVEDIALOG",
(HWND)platform->hwnd,
(DLGPROC)DissolveProc,
NULL);
//used by the DissolveProc routine, don't let the error go further
*gResult = noErr;
return (result == kDOK);
}
Which is the code that the Plugin call when its about to render a UI, note that GetDLLInstance() is the function returning the instance of the Plugin inside Photoshop.exe.
So Im trying to replace the DialogBoxParam, by a call to a CEF, by using the following,
- Code: Select all
Boolean DoUI(void)
{
// Enable High-DPI support on Windows 7 or newer.
CefEnableHighDPISupport();
void* sandbox_info = NULL;
// Provide CEF with command-line arguments.
CefMainArgs main_args(GetDLLInstance());
// CEF applications have multiple sub-processes (render, plugin, GPU, etc)
// that share the same executable. This function checks the command-line and,
// if this is a sub-process, executes the appropriate logic.
int exit_code = CefExecuteProcess(main_args, NULL, sandbox_info);
if ( exit_code >= 0 )
{
// The sub-process has completed so return here.
return exit_code;
}
// Specify CEF global settings here.
CefSettings settings;
settings.log_severity = LOGSEVERITY_VERBOSE;
// SimpleApp implements application-level callbacks for the browser process.
// It will create the first browser instance in OnContextInitialized() after
// CEF has initialized.
CefRefPtr<SimpleApp> app(new SimpleApp);
// Initialize CEF.
CefInitialize(main_args, settings, app.get(), sandbox_info);
// Run the CEF message loop. This will block until CefQuitMessageLoop() is
// called.
CefRunMessageLoop();
// Shut down CEF.
CefShutdown();
return m_result;
}
The windows seems to be generated with a title (cefsimple), but that it, nothing is render inside (Full white windows), despite the url is still pointing on http://www.google.com, I also tried to point on a local index.html in-case, but same thing.
