cef_thread_id_t

The main thread in the browser. This will be the same as the main application thread if CefInitialize() is called with a CefSettings.multi_threaded_message_loop value of false. Do not perform blocking tasks on this thread. All tasks posted after CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnContextInitialized() and before CefShutdown() are guaranteed to run. This thread will outlive all other CEF threads.

Used for blocking tasks like file system access where the user won't notice if the task takes an arbitrarily long time to complete. All tasks posted after CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnContextInitialized() and before CefShutdown() are guaranteed to run.

Used for blocking tasks like file system access that affect UI or responsiveness of future user interactions. Do not use if an immediate response to a user interaction is expected. All tasks posted after CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnContextInitialized() and before CefShutdown() are guaranteed to run. Examples: - Updating the UI to reflect progress on a long task. - Loading data that might be shown in the UI after a future user interaction.

Used for blocking tasks like file system access that affect UI immediately after a user interaction. All tasks posted after CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnContextInitialized() and before CefShutdown() are guaranteed to run. Example: Generating data shown in the UI immediately after a click.

Used to launch and terminate browser processes.

Used to process IPC and network messages. Do not perform blocking tasks on this thread. All tasks posted after CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnContextInitialized() and before CefShutdown() are guaranteed to run.
