I truly thankful for your help.
As you suggest I had gone through XPCOM components of js/xpconnect/components.
Now I am able to Instantiate helloword JS-XPCOM component, when I am trying to
return object to nsISupports interface pointer. but not same when directly
tried to return object to nsIHelloWorld interface pointer.
nsCOMPtr<nsISupports> iSupports1 =
do_CreateInstance("@vasu.com/helloworld;1",&rv1);
In that case I m able to instantiate.
nsCOMPtr<nsIHelloWorld> hello =
do_CreateInstance("@vasu.com/firefox/helloworld;1",&rv2);
do_CreateInstance function is always returning null when I try to return
object directly to nsIHelloWorld interface pointer.
Trying to call hello() function of JS-XPCOM from C++XPCOM code. I tried to
confirm Hello() function got call or not? For that reason I added alert and
console log message inside a function of hello(), but none them work.
Can we pass XPCOM Interface pointer(i.e. nsIDOMWindow, nsIDocShell..) from C++
XPCOM component to JavaScript XPCOM component? If yes then how?
Please share some useful post, data regarding communication between C++ XPCOM
component to JavaScript XPCOM component.
Regards
Vasu
