CEF integration into Juce framework

I updated it to 3.2171.
The debug.log file says this.

[0306/185628:ERROR:renderer_main.cc(207)] Running without renderer sandbox
[0306/185629:ERROR:singleton_hwnd.cc(43)] Cannot create windows on non-UI thread!
[0306/185645:WARNING:message_in_transit_queue.cc(18)] Destroying nonempty message queue

All of these messages are expected when running with the sandbox disabled.

Are you saying to turn sandbox on or ignore the errors?

Yes.

Which should I do?

1) turn sandbox on

2) ignore error

You should enable the sandbox if possible. See include\cef_sandbox_win.h for the requirements on Windows.

I think that when you display your own content then there is no advantage of using sandbox. Only useful when displaying third party websites, as it's a security feature.

Hi,I am currently prototyping an integration of CEF into the C++ Juce framework.
My goal is to create a CEF-based browser Juce component to be included into Juce applications.

Are you aware of any existing result with Juce and CEF?

I intend my main Juce application to be also a CefApp and have only one CefClient created at app startup that would create one browser per"view-component". Would this design make sense?

Regarding the display, would you recommend trying to create a Juce component class that is also a CefBrowser class?
Or should I better use an Offscreen Rendering technique and paint the result into Juce's paint() method?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi steren, did you get this working in the end? If so would you be willing to share the code for your component? I think it would be of interest to the JUCE community as several people have asked about this.

I'm considering a similar thing myself and for something like this it would be great to avoid duplicating effort if I can!

Cheers,

Jamie
