Thank you for your e-mail, Christian.
I've already fixed it using the [retval] attribute and I was able to
retrieve the string from my xpcom component
But another problem surfaces.
I can explain what I need.
I need to affect the value of a <label> overlay element on my extension with
a string obtained from component.
I've tried to do it with this in js
label = document.getElementById("user_name_label");
label.value = data;
But the problem is when should I call this statements. they work but only
when the browser is already displayed.
If I use these instructions before nothing changes on label.
Is there any event I can trap to place this instructions on?
I guess label doesnt have events
Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Oliveiros

If you instead defined it as:
string Obtainuser();
Then it'd be a function with no arguments in JS that just returns the
string.
I've tried to call the function with one arguments, but I get an
exception like this :
Erro: uncaught exception: [Exception... "'Out' argument must be an object
arg 0 [nsIFoxPanel.ObtainUser]" nsresult: "0x80570002
(NS_ERROR_XPC_NEED_OUT_OBJECT)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://extensao/content/foxpanel.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 34" data:
no]
I don't know what your argument was but out params works like this:
var outval = {};
panel.ObtainUser(outval);
// Now use outval.value
But I'd suggest you use the IDL syntax I suggested above and do:
var yourstring = panel.ObtainUser();
