Processing custom command-line arguments

[Pirs01]

Hello,

I'm looking to pass some custom command-line arguments (arbitrary, non-chrome-switches) to my CEF App and then access them in the Renderer process on Win OS.

My plan was to use

Code: Select all

CefCommandLine::GetGlobalCommandLine();

however it seams that CefCommandLine only cares for the predefined chrome switches and ignores other arguments. I pass the argument (confirmed with Process Explorer) but then debugging Browser process and looking into CefCommandLine instance contents I find no information about my argument. I can only see the predefined chrome switches there.

What's the correct approach here?

Thank you and regards,
Pirs01

EDIT:

Looks like my mistake. I guess I was looking at it too early right after creating Browser. Now tried having a look when in CefDisplayHandler::OnTitleChange and it seams to be in order.

My fault confirmed.

I can see my command-line arguments just fine when using CefCommandLine::GetGlobalCommandLine in browser process.
Then I pass my arguments along to the Renderer process with something like:

Code: Select all

CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnBeforeChildProcessLaunch(CefRefPtr<CefCommandLine> command_line) {
    CefRefPtr<CefCommandLine> glob_command_line =
        CefCommandLine::GetGlobalCommandLine();
    CefString argVal = glob_command_line->GetSwitchValue("myCmdArg");
    command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("myCmdArg", argVal);

It works. Thanks, all your moral support is appreciated
