The nsIPluginInstancePeer interface is the set of operations implemented by the browser to support a plugin instance. When a plugin instance is constructed, a nsIPluginInstancePeer is passed to its initializer representing the instantiation of the plugin on the page.
Other interfaces may be obtained from nsIPluginInstancePeer by calling QueryInterface, e.g. nsIPluginTagInfo.
Properties
readonly nsMIMEType MIMEType
Returns the MIME type of the plugin instance.
(Corresponds to NPP_New's MIMEType argument.)
readonly nsPluginMode mode
Returns the mode of the plugin instance, i.e. whether the plugin is embedded in the html, or full page.
(Corresponds to NPP_New's mode argument.)
Methods
void getValue ( inInstancePeerVariable variable , voidPtr* value )
void newStream ( nsMIMEType type , char* target , out nsIOutputStream result )
void setWindowSize ( PRUint32 width , PRUint32 height )
void showStatus ( char* message )
void getValue ( inInstancePeerVariable variable , voidPtr* value )
Returns the value of a variable associated with the plugin manager.
(Corresponds to NPN_GetValue.)
- Arguments:
- variable: - the plugin manager variable to get
- value: - the address of where to store the resulting value
void newStream ( nsMIMEType type , char* target , out nsIOutputStream result )
This operation is called by the plugin instance when it wishes to send a stream of data to the browser. It constructs a new output stream to which the plugin may send the data. When complete, the Close and Release methods should be called on the output stream.
(Corresponds to NPN_NewStream.)
- Arguments:
- type: - MIME type of the stream to create
- target: - the target window name to receive the data
- result: - the resulting output stream
void setWindowSize ( PRUint32 width , PRUint32 height )
Set the desired size of the window in which the plugin instance lives.
- Arguments:
- width: - new window width
- height: - new window height
void showStatus ( char* message )
This operation causes status information to be displayed on the window associated with the plugin instance.
(Corresponds to NPN_Status.)
- Arguments:
- message: - the status message to display
