Hello, I am new to cef and just signed up for an account today. If a 3rd party app is coded using CEF technology (CefBrowserWindow), and I wish to build my own application to retrieve URL, etc. info from that app. Is that possible? Can it be done with the help of utilizing CEF API in my application?

Sorry I have a duplicate topic, moderator please delete my the other one that title "chrome embedded"

I want to perform automation and came across this useful tutorial: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... romeDriver

However, the app in the example is an "exe", how about if the app is a web (iexplore.exe) but Chrome is embedded in that IE page? How do I set the binary like what the article was using? I would like to get the controls out of that embedded Chrome from that IE web browser.

Reverse-engineering third-party applications is not supported.

This forum is for discussion of CEF. Your request is off-topic.

So where should this post go then? I am new to this forum and the application is a web browser that uses CEF though.

I guess that 3rd party app has some kind of support channel, so ask for help there.
