Hi,
maybe the xpcom group could help...
I'm trying to make a kind of "remote control" of the firefox browser
(the linux version). Therfore I'm using a command-line component which
calls a SocketListener so I could send commands using telnet. To prevent
the immediate closing of the browser (because of preventdefault=true)
I'm calling the eventLoop of the current thread.
Now the problem...
One of the remote commands opens some dialogs (alert, open directory
dialog). Everything works despite the fact that the last dialog is
somehow "frozen". The program flow continues but I can't get rid of the
last dialog. Because the dialog is closed for the browser there are no
more mouse events and also the repaint doesn't work anymore, but the
window is present for the gtk window-manager.
I have tried:
- processPendingEvents with the eventqueue which does the eventLoop
- interrupting the thread and call eventLoop again
- calling some methods from hiddenDOMWindow (like stop and so on...)
- using a timeout via "nsITimer" (because there is no setTimeOut in
hiddenDOMWindow)
- using the prompt service instead of the "normal" alert
but nothing works...
It seems that a following dialog does something which forces the
previous dialog to fully remove the window - but what? Something in the
eventhandling? Any ideas?
