Hi, there are any way to prevent user selection (of text, objects...) will be nice for WebUIs if this can be achived

Thanks a lot

You could customize the context menus in CefHandler::HandleBeforeMenu so that the user doesn't have select/copy/paste options, but I don't think there's any way to disable selection completely.

Looks like you might be able to do it via JavaScript and/or CSS:

Oh Marshal, i have a finish question, I have a Lua core created on my app, I've created a public pointer to my lua engine, but, how I can access it from cef classes?

I triying to create a javascript binding like widow.lua.call("function",["arg1","arg2"...]) I'm successful with that, but I like to do a luaL_dostring(&L,"function(arg1,arg2)") so I can't access to my painter.

I think on modify the functions of cef classes to pass the Lua pointer as argument on the functions... but, wath kind of thing you recomend me to do?

Thanks for all, your help are very appreciated

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Are you hosting CEF in a native application and then exposing certain Lua-based functions to the web content via JavaScript? Or are you trying to create a Lua wrapper for CEF so that you can embed CEF in a Lua application and control it via Lua-like APIs?

somthing near, I have a MFC app, and I use lua for common actions like sqlite access and these things, I have a complete wrapper for work with my mfc app using lua, the point is get the LuaState pointer in the ClientV8FunctionHandler, so I will be able to send something to lua, that will process the result, for example I have a lua string and I like to know it with javascript using var mystring=window.lua.getstring("mystring"). I don't have problems doing this, the only problem that i have is pass the lua pointer to work with it

[magreenblatt]

Perhaps one of the following options:
1. If there's only one Lua pointer for the whole application then provide a static or global function for retrieving it.
2. If there are multiple Lua pointers and the pointer is associated with a particular ClientV8FunctionHandler implementation then store that pointer as a member variable of the ClientV8FunctionHandler implementation.
