I think that's all of them, for petessake. But the conditions under which each should be used are definite, if not clear, and there is no overlap. Basically, you should never use nsAppShellService. That's the basic method that all others boil down to, and it creates partially initialized windows. Trust the other means of opening windows to use nsAppShellService and then finish the new window's initialization. nsAppShellService is also strictly a Mozilla-only service; it's unavailable (or should be) to embedding apps. So it's not merely inadvisable but also illegal for any code that may execute in an embedding context to use that service. Unless you're writing window opening code yourself, you want to use the Open method on an extant window, or lacking one of those, the OpenWindow method on the nsWindowWatcher service. (The former calls through to the latter.) Both methods are equally at home in Mozilla and embedding contexts. They differentiate between which kind of window to open in different ways, depending on whether there is an extant window. Lacking an extant window, it's this object, the nsWindowCreator, that allows new window creation and properly distinguishes between Mozilla and embedding contexts. This source file contains the Mozilla version, which calls through to nsAppShellService. */ #include "nsCOMPtr.h" #include "nsAppShellCIDs.h" #include "nsWidgetsCID.h" #include "nsWindowCreator.h" #include "nsIAppShell.h" #include "nsIAppShellService.h" #include "nsIInterfaceRequestor.h" #include "nsIInterfaceRequestorUtils.h" #include "nsIServiceManager.h" #include "nsIURI.h" #include "nsIXULWindow.h" #include "nsIWebBrowserChrome.h" static NS_DEFINE_CID(kAppShellServiceCID, NS_APPSHELL_SERVICE_CID); nsWindowCreator::nsWindowCreator() { } nsWindowCreator::~nsWindowCreator() { } NS_IMPL_ISUPPORTS2(nsWindowCreator, nsIWindowCreator, nsIWindowCreator2) NS_IMETHODIMP nsWindowCreator::CreateChromeWindow(nsIWebBrowserChrome *aParent, PRUint32 aChromeFlags, nsIWebBrowserChrome **_retval) { PRBool cancel; return CreateChromeWindow2(aParent, aChromeFlags, 0, 0, &cancel, _retval); } NS_IMETHODIMP nsWindowCreator::CreateChromeWindow2( nsIWebBrowserChrome *aParent, PRUint32 aChromeFlags, PRUint32 aContextFlags, nsIURI *aURI, PRBool *aCancel, nsIWebBrowserChrome **_retval) { NS_ENSURE_ARG_POINTER(aCancel); NS_ENSURE_ARG_POINTER(_retval); *aCancel = PR_FALSE; *_retval = 0; nsCOMPtr newWindow; if (aParent) { nsCOMPtr xulParent(do_GetInterface(aParent)); NS_ASSERTION(xulParent, "window created using non-XUL parent. that's unexpected, but may work."); if (xulParent) xulParent->CreateNewWindow(aChromeFlags, getter_AddRefs(newWindow)); // And if it fails, don't try again without a parent.
