    Methods

    Requires Gecko 1.8 (Firefox 1.5 / Thunderbird 1.5 / SeaMonkey 1.0)

    clearHistoryEntry()

    Clears the current history entry. This is used to clear out the saved presentation state.

    void clearHistoryEntry();
    Parameters

    None.

    close()

    All users of a content viewer are responsible for calling both close() and destroy(), in that order.

    close() should be called when the load of a new page for the next content viewer begins, and destroy() should be called when the next content viewer replaces this one.

    Note: If the document is currently being printed, it will not be saved in session history.
    void close(
  in nsISHEntry historyEntry
);
    Parameters
    historyEntry
    The session history entry for the content viewer. If this is null, then destroy() will be called on the document by close(). If it is non-null, the document will not be destroyed, and the following actions will happen when destroy() is called:
    • Sanitize() will be called on the viewer's document
    • The content viewer will set the contentViewer property on the history entry, and release its reference (ownership reversal).
    • Hide() will be called, and no further destruction will happen.

    destroy()

    void destroy();
    Parameters

    None.

    Requires Gecko 10.0 (Firefox 10.0 / Thunderbird 10.0 / SeaMonkey 2.7)

    findContainerView()

    Finds the view to use as the container view for MakeWindow.

    Note: Prior to Gecko 10.0 (Firefox 10.0 / Thunderbird 10.0 / SeaMonkey 2.7), this attribute was part of nsIDocumentViewer.
    [noscript,notxpcom,nostdcall] nsIViewPtr findContainerView();
    Parameters

    None.

    Return value

    The container view, or null if this content viewer is the root of a view manager hierarchy.

    Note: If this container is the root of a view manager hierarchy (that is, this method returns null), and mParentWidget is also null, then this document should not even be displayed.
