Windows Messages not being picked up by CEF

[litereddonut]

I have a CEF applications that I want to simulate keyboard input for, while the app is in the background.

I have the app currently hooked to listen for keyboard input while the app is not the forefront window. I then use SendMessage to send the WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP commands to my app. I have also tried this with PostMessage. It doesn't seem as if CEF is picking up the windows messages I am sending.

Am I not sending all the messages I need? Does CEF not pickup these messages while it is not in the foreground?

Thanks in advance for any help.

What version of CEF are you using? What are you trying to accomplish?

CEF 3. I am trying to get my app to capture key usage while the app is in the background for a media player (media keys/volume control).

You should handle the media keys in your application and then use something like ExecuteJavaScript to notify the browser content.
