| IID: | 8d298761-0963-4c90-99e2-6ea498825e82 |
| Inherits From: | nsISupports |
This interface is implemented by the following components:
Properties
AString name
Human readable name for the handler
Methods
PRBool equals ( nsIHandlerApp handlerApp )
void launchWithURI ( nsIURI URI , nsIInterfaceRequestor windowContext )
PRBool equals ( nsIHandlerApp handlerApp )
Whether or not the given handler app is logically equivalent to the invokant (i.e. they represent the same app).
Two apps are the same if they are both either local or web handlers and their executables/URI templates are the same in a string comparison.
- Arguments:
- handlerApp: the handler app to compare to the invokant
void launchWithURI ( nsIURI URI , nsIInterfaceRequestor windowContext )
Launches the application with the specified URI.
Currently only relevant to web-handler apps. If given, this represents the docshell to load the handler in and is passed through to nsIURILoader.openURI. If this parameter is null or not present, the web handler app implementation will attempt to find/create a place to load the handler and do so. As of this writing, it tries to load the web handler in a new window using nsIBrowserDOMWindow.openURI. In the future, it may attempt to have a more comprehensive strategy which could include handing off to the system default browser (bug 394479).
- Arguments:
- URI: The URI to launch this application with
- windowContext
