Methods
nsIEventQueue
createFromIThread(in nsIThread aThread, in boolean aNative)
[noscript]
nsIEventQueue
createFromPLEventQueue(in PLEventQueuePtr aPLEventQueue)
Creates and hold a monitored event queue for the current thread. "Monitored" queues have no callback processing mechanism. @return NS_OK on success, or a host of failure indications
void
createMonitoredThreadEventQueue()
Creates and holds a native event queue for the current thread. "Native" queues have an associated callback mechanism which is automatically triggered when an event is posted. See plevent.c for details. @return NS_OK on success, or a host of failure indications
void
createThreadEventQueue()
Somewhat misnamed, this method releases the service's hold on the event queue(s) for this thread. Subsequent attempts to access this thread's queue (GetThreadEventQueue, for example) may fail, though the queue itself will be destroyed only after all references to it are released and the queue itself is no longer actively processing events. @return nonsense.
void
destroyThreadEventQueue()
Returns the appropriate special event queue, AddRef()ed. Really
just a scriptable version of ResolveEventQueue.
@arg aQueue Either CURRENT_THREAD_EVENT_QUEUE or
UI_THREAD_EVENT_QUEUE
@return The requested nsIEventQueue, AddRef()ed
@exception NS_ERROR_NULL_POINTER Zero pointer passed in for return value
@exception NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE Bogus constant passed in aQueue
@exception NS_ERROR_FAILURE Error while calling
GetThreadEventQueue()
nsIEventQueue
getSpecialEventQueue(in long aQueue)
[noscript]
nsIEventQueue
getThreadEventQueue(in PRThreadPtr aThread)
void
popThreadEventQueue(in nsIEventQueue aQueue)
nsIEventQueue
pushThreadEventQueue()
@deprecated in favor of getSpecialEventQueue, since that's
scriptable and this isn't.
Check for any "magic" event queue constants (NS_CURRENT_EVENTQ,
NS_UI_THREAD_EVENTQ) and return the real event queue that they
represent, AddRef()ed. Otherwise, return the event queue passed
in, AddRef()ed. This is not scriptable because the arguments in
question may be magic constants rather than real nsIEventQueues.
@arg queueOrConstant either a real event queue or a magic
constant to be resolved
@return a real event queue, AddRef()ed
