You can connect contentScript with the extension onLoad, onEvent or
whatever you want, also you can send the tab.id as parameter to the
ToolStrip to identify where is the contentScript.
See this example:
//$contentScript.js
port = chrome.extension.connect({name: 'portname'});
port.onMessage.addListener(onMessageRecieved);
port.postMessage({message: "givemesomething"});
function onMessageRecieved(data) {
if (data.message == "something") {
console.log("Toolstrip Say: "+data.something);
}
}
//$ToolStrip.html
var myport;
chrome.extension.onConnect.addListener(onPortConnect);
function onPortConnect(port) {
if(port.name != 'portname') return false;
myport = port;
port.onMessage.addListener(onMessageRecieved);
}
function onMessageRecieved(data) {
if (data.message == "givemesomething") {
console.log("contentScript Say: "+data.message);
myport.postMessage({message: "something", something: "Now you
have
something from ToolStrip"});
}
}
