Hi Jud,
Thanks for replying. Let me explain what I'm trying to do here.
I have a plugin that is used as a document editor. When someone
clicks on the "Back" or "Forward" menus or toolbar buttons, I want
to first throw a dialog box asking the user whether he indeed
wishes to quit the plugin, and if the user chooses cancel to
cancel the new page load and bring the user back to the plugin.
I figured the best way to do this was to have my plugin implement
the nsIWebProgressListener interface and listen in on page load
starts. Then I could throw a dialog box on a start load and if the
user chose cancel, cancel the load by calling nsIRequest->Cancel().
However, without getting access to the specific nsIWebBrowser of
the plugin window, this does not fly. Any suggestions from you
would be greatly appreciated.
thnx much
_Ashu
