Use Selenium with embedded browser

[vtcoder]

Can anyone provide some details about how to get Selenium working
against an embedded browser? I have a .Net WinForm application that is
embedding a Chromium browser (via CEF Chromium embedded framework). Is
there anyway to have Selenium attach to the embedded browser instance
instead of the typically browser window?

It's unlikely you'll be able to get Selenium WebDriver working in that instance. The Chromium team is responsible for creating the ChromeDriver executable used by the project, so it might be best to take up the issue with that team as to how to attach to a running instance of an embedded version of Chromium. Please note that it would likely be a feature request for them, since that's not really a use case that the project has considered as a primary focus.

Hmm...interesting topic. Would be interesting for all the applicable
drivers to support an embedded mode where they are part of another
application.

IE would be another such browser that can be embedded. Not sure about
FF.
