Hi
There is maybe a better a way to do what I understand of your request
but I only found this one which is elegant because component oriented.
You may find some clue in the Downloader that refresh a progress bar as
downloading.
Some keywords : Listener, nsIRunnable, Thread, nsIProxy ...
1. You need to define two interfaces :
- one for your XPCOM object : nsIRTcom
- second a listener to allow callback
to JS/HTML context : nsIRTcomListener
2. Define methods :
/**
* Set the javascript listener
*/
nsIRTcom::SetListener( nsIRTcomListener )
/**
* Start a new thread that handle realtime event from your system
* the new thread call nsIRTcomListener methods through a nsIProxyObject
*/
nsIRTcom::StartEventFiring()
3. Define a new JS Object :
var listener = {
callMe:function(){
document.getElementById("any").setAttribute("attname","value");
}
}
4. In the onload JS function :
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
aIRT = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/nsRTCom;1"].
createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIRTCom);
aIRT.setListener(listener);
aIRT.StartEventFiring();
Note : You won't be in RealTime because there is a unique thread for UI
so event fired are put in a queue by the ProxyObjectManager.
