Methods
Entry point for native events into Gecko.
@return <code>PR_TRUE</code> if event was handled
<code>PR_FALSE</code> if not handled
On Mac, <code>anEvent</code> is a native <code>EventRecord*</code>.
boolean
dispatchEvent(in voidPtr anEvent)
Alerts gecko of a drag event.
@param aMessage the message parameter for a Gecko NS_DRAGDROP_EVENT (See nsGUIEvent.h for list).
@param aMouseGlobalX x coordinate of mouse, in global coordinates
@param aMouseGlobalY y coordinate of mouse, in global coordinates
@param aKeyModifiers a native bitfield of which modifier keys are currently pressed
@return <code>PR_TRUE</code> if event was handled
<code>PR_FALSE</code> if not handled
boolean
dragEvent(in unsigned long aMessage, in short aMouseGlobalX, in short aMouseGlobalY, in unsigned short aKeyModifiers)
Perform any idle processing (handle timers, set the cursor, etc)
void
Idle()
Tell gecko to scroll, usually in response to a mouse-wheel @param aVertical <code>PR_TRUE</code> if scrolling veritcally, <code>PR_FALSE</code> if horizontal @param aNumLines the number of lines to scroll, positive for down, negative for up @param aMouseLocalX the x coordinate of the mouse in window (local) coordinates @param aMouseLocalY the y coordinate of the mouse in window (local) coordinates
boolean
scroll(in boolean aVertical, in short aNumLines, in short aMouseLocalX, in short aMouseLocalY)
