auto registration fails in 1.9.2

Hi, I have an application that embeds gecko. I recently upgraded to 1.9.2 (FIREFOX_3_6_RELEASE). Now the XRE startup only works if the compreg.dat is absent. The pathway that initialises by reading compreg.dat fails. Is anybody else having any success with this? I have have full debug builds (Windows), could provide a call stack if anybody is interested. Thanks CArey

Keyboard input in embedded gecko?

Using the "New API", I've got some thing ups and running. Figured out how to run some javascript, use event listeners etc. But one major item continues to escape me: clicking in a form field does not give me a cursor to type, nor do any keyboard events seem to be caught by the browser. Is something amiss, or am I overlooking something I'm supposed to implement? Thanks in advance

Problems with nsIDOMWindow scroll methods

Hi, I was used to programmatically scroll embedded browser content using some code like this: nsCOMPtr<nsIDOMWindow> domWindow; mWebBrowser->GetContentDOMWindow(getter_AddRefs(domWindow)); domWindow->ScrollTo(xScroll, yScroll); and everything was working fine. BUT this kind of code has no effect on Google Docs pages, i.e. if I point my browser on (for example) http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-s/md/03/wsis/doc/S03-WSIS-DOC-0004!!MSW-E.doc nothing happens.

How to embed Gecko in a Win32 C++ app?

Hey guys! I'm having a hard time trying to understand how this works. What I need is simple to write a Win32 C++ application, like a Wizard, but with the interface designed in HTML and JavaScript. I've already done that using WebKit and IE, but now I also want to use Gecko for comparison purposes. The thing is that I can't find a clear start point. The informations seems to be conflicting, sometimes I read about Gecko, sometimes XULRunner, and I'm not sure what should I use. Is there a SDK, or a set of libraries that I can just include to my project? I appreciate the attetion

Embedding Gecko under windows: sporadic lock-ups?

Hi all, I have written some code to embed Gecko under windows, in a C++ app. What I generally do in the embeding code is: 1) Call XPCOMGlueStartup. 2) Call XPCOMGlueLoadXULFunctions. 3) Call XRE_InitEmbedding. And use Gecko. However, I am using Gecko from the same thread that Gecko also runs. What I observe is that sometimes my app locks up after I have loaded some web pages. I looked at code that usually embeds Gecko under linux, and I saw that Gecko is run in its own thread. Is this required also under windows? Or have I forgot to initialise something? Regards, Ge

How do draw over a displayed page ?

Hello Building Firefox in order to embed Gecko is so complicated ! Is it possible to get just some redistributable with an .dll, a header file and a .chm file for documentation to embed Gecko ?

My client wants certain regions selected in red (drawn with alpha-blending). Can I navigate the HTML tree for the displayed document with a DOM interface and get the bounding rectangle for the HTML elements in the document ? And then get the sc

AddWebBrowserListener fails (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)

notify when event handling is complete

I am working on embedding Gecko.. Question: when a user clicks on a LINK (anchor node), I want to know when the processing of the request is complete. i.e. if the link just updates the existing page with content, then I would like to know when the update is complete.. so that when I retrieve the DOM, I see the updated content.. Right now, I just sleep for a minute and then parse the DOM. Most of the time this works, but I would like to know if there is a notifier that I could use. e.g. In the code below, clicking on "Populate", adds innerHTML to "div1"... I want to be notified whe

Problems with javascript in embedded browser

I've a Linux C++ application with mozilla browser embedded. The embedded browser shows the google page well. I made a simple page with some javascript code, to do a test. The page has a table with a text and the javascript changes the text with an image. If I open the page with firefox it shows fine, but the embedded browser only shows the text.

How do I get HWND from nsIBaseWindow (Windows) ?

Two questions: I assume nsIBaseWindow->Create () creates the container window for browser engine. One, is there anyway I can get its HWND once it is created ? Two, I have a parent window (frame) and trying to create browser within WM_CREATE message of frame window and it doesn't seem to work. Browser does not appear correctly (invisible). Creating browser once WM_CREATE (frame window) completes, does work. Is this how it is supposed to be by design ? Thx!

crash by embedding xulrunner 1.9.1.5/firefox 3.5.5

Hi all, it seems that embedding does not work anymore just after the use of TLS(thread local STORAGE) variables was introduced in order to make NS_IsMainThread faster. (see http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/log/27d9d4107522/xpcom/threads/nsThreadManager.cpp) The call of NS_InitXPCOM2 causes "access violation" exception since the use of TLS has limitations. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2s9wt68x.aspx) Is it a BUG or is the behavior expected this way ?! embedding strategy: Frozen linkage: standalone glue (no DLL dependencies) System: Windows XP SP3 tested

Why NS_GetSpecialDirectory fails?

Hi all, Now that I have fixed most memory leaks, I am after other issues :-) My embedded app fails to keep navigation history, and tracing down the code there is a problem in nsNavHistory::InitDBFile(), where the call to: NS_GetSpecialDirectory(NS_APP_USER_PROFILE_50_DIR, ...); fails (with result 0x80004005 - which means what?). Any ideas why this call fails? I had the impression that returns something related to the second argument (AppDir) of XRE_InitEmbeding(). Also, what I am supposed to pass as an application directory to XRE_InitEmbeding? My ~/.mozilla directory?

Modifying DOM document on the fly

Memory usage: 4MB per page?

Hi all, I am trying to embed mozila inside a C application, and in general I have succeeded to a large degree. But I have a large problem: memory usage is increased by each page I load.

Here is the log the debug build of xul runner (compiled from sources) writes on the terminal: http://www.ellogon.org/~petasis/sync3/mozilla-debug-log.txt What puzzles me, are the following issues: 1) I have no

Problems with PDF/Adobe Acrobat

Hi everybody, when I try to open a PDF document clicking on it, my OnStateChange gets called repeatedly, but I get a NS_BINDING_ABORTED error before loading completely the document. If I change settings from the Adobe Reader application (edit->preferences->Internet->show PDF in browser window) and uncheck it, the load goes OK and an external instance of the Reader with the PDF is created and shown. Any idea about why I get that error in the middle of the load when Adobe Reader is configured to show the PDF inside the browser? thx! Aaron

How to make asynchronous function call to synchronous ?

Hi. I'm developing a HTML WYSIWYG application using gecko engine. I faced a problem which is about synchronous issue. It seems that function, eg. nsIWebNavigation::LoadURI, nsIWebBrowserPersist::SaveDocument, dosen't wait the end of process their own, it means I also should wait the notification message, so I want to ask that there is a way to make those asynchronous function to synchronous function. I want to try like this, void Function() { persist->SaveDocument(...); LaunchBrowser(...); // But I don't make sure saving the HTML file is finished. }

Embedding a firefox extension inside a xulrunner application.

Hello All, I am working on a web testing tool which would uses xulrunner (and thus gecko) to run the tests. It is all very fine; the test is being driven via SWT [1] The browser (not exactly, Gecko to be precise) launches very nicely and executes the tests. I would need some firefox extensions to be loaded at runtime so that the web application can be debugged. most importantly firebug [2] So basically the launch proceeds like this - SWT launches the SWTBrowser [3] component. - SWTBrowser makes use of xulrunner to start up a gecko instance. - Firebug is somehow embedded int

How to attach mouse event listeners to embedded nsIWebBrowser

I've embedded an nsIWebBrowser in my application. Because I'm just generating HTML for it on the fly, I'm using OpenStream, AppendToStream, and CloseStream to add content. What I need is to add event listeners for mouse movement over the web browser as well as mouse clicks. I've read documentation and tried lots of different things, but nothing I have tried has worked. For instance, the code below would seem to do the right thing, but it does nothing: nsCOMPtr<nsIDOMWindow> domWindow; mWebBrowser->GetContentDOMWindow(getter_AddRefs(domWindow)); if (!mEventTarget) {
