"The Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) is an open source project founded by Marshall Greenblatt
in 2008 to develop a Web browser control based on the Google Chromium project." (stolen from
project's web site) Over the last few weeks
I've spent a number of hours reading up on how to integrate CEF into an application. The
project's forum provides a nice support area where people
can ask for help and the source distribution comes with an example application called
"cefclient" that uses CEF to show how to build an application with it. The problem that I had,
though, is that while "cefclient" is a nice resource if you're looking for an advanced
implementation on how to integrate CEF as a whole, but if you're looking to start out with a
complete bare-bones implementation that just barely works it's overkill. You're not quite sure
where to start and the example in the
General Usage page of the wiki
is currently either out of date or referencing a different version of CEF than I'm working
with. Once I was able to get the most basic implementation running, I decided it would be good
to document how to do it as the resources I was able to find were either out of date or
unavailable.
