Attributes

Attribute Type Description
chromeFlags unsigned long The chrome flags for this browser chrome. The implementation should reflect the value of this attribute by hiding or showing its chrome appropriately.
webBrowser nsIWebBrowser The currently loaded WebBrowser. The browser chrome may be told to set the WebBrowser object to a new object by setting this attribute. In this case the implementer is responsible for taking the new WebBrowser object and doing any necessary initialization or setup as if it had created the WebBrowser itself. This includes positioning setting up listeners etc.

Methods

destroyBrowserWindow()

Asks the implementer to destroy the window associated with this WebBrowser object.

void destroyBrowserWindow();
Parameters

None.

exitModalEventLoop()

Exit a modal event loop if we're in one. The implementation should also exit out of the loop if the window is destroyed.

void exitModalEventLoop(
  in nsresult aStatus
);
Parameters
aStatus
The result code to return from showAsModal().

isWindowModal()

Is the window modal (that is, currently executing a modal loop)?

boolean isWindowModal();
Parameters

None.

Return value

true if it's a modal window.

setStatus()

Called when the status text in the chrome needs to be updated.

void setStatus(
  in unsigned long statusType,
  in wstring status
);
Parameters
statusType
Indicates what is setting the text.
status
Status string. null is an acceptable value meaning no status.

showAsModal()

void showAsModal();
Parameters

None.

Return Value

Note: The function error code returned by this corresponds to the status value specified in exitModalEventLoop.

sizeBrowserTo()
