Returning data from C++ on invokeMethod

[emanuele-f]

invokeMethod makes it convenient to call C++ code from Javascript. However it seems like it's not possible to return data to javascript. It would be great if invokeMethod allowed returning a string to Javascript.

Edit: I missed the cefQueryRequest method, which make it possible to accomplish this. I think it would be better to merge the methods into one, as getting a result from a call is a recurrent task

Hi @emanuele-f, glad to see you have solved the problem with cefQueryRequest

unfortunately, this is not possible, it's is up to the architecture of CEF, when you use invokeMethod from JS to call the method in C++, you must know the JS is executed in CEF renderer process while the C++ method is executed in browser process and CEF only provides an asynchronous IPC mechanism for communication.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I've posted this only by reasoning from an API point of view, without prior knowledge of CEF. Now that I'm worked with CEF for a while, this makes sense to me. Closing this.
