IDL file: mozilla-central/source/dom/base/nsIMessageManager.idl

Inherits from: nsIMessageListenerManager

Message "broadcasters" don't have a single "other side" that they send messages to, but rather a set of subordinate message managers. For example, broadcasting a message through a window message manager will broadcast the message to all frame message managers within its window.

See Message Manager interfaces for more details on the distinction between message senders and message broadcasters.

Methods

void broadcastAsyncMessage([optional] in AString messageName,
                      [optional] in jsval obj,
                      [optional] in jsval objects);

nsIMessageListenerManager getChildAt(in unsigned long aIndex);

broadcastAsyncMessage()

Like sendAsyncMessage(), but also broadcasts this message to all "child" message managers of this message manager.

See nsIMessageListener::receiveMessage() for the format of the data delivered to listeners.

WARNING: broadcasting messages can be very expensive and leak sensitive data. Use with extreme caution.

Throws NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED if the sender is not initialized. For example, we will throw NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED if we try to send a message to a cross-process frame but the other process has not yet been set up.

Throws NS_ERROR_FAILURE when the message receiver cannot be found. For example, we will throw NS_ERROR_FAILURE if we try to send a message to a cross-process frame whose process has crashed.
