Hi all,
I'm trying to develop a firefox toolbar ;)
so my structure is
In the options.xul is an PrefWindow which i'm opening over an
<toolbarbutton oncommand="esbTb_OpenPreferences()"/>
function esbTb_OpenPreferences() {
window.openDialog("chrome://Toolbar/content/options.xul", "einstellungen", "chrome,titlebar,toolbar,centerscreen,modal", this);}
so in my preferences i can set some checkboxes which indicates what links are presented in my toolbar. So when the preferences window is Closed or the "Ok" button is hitted I want to raise an event or an function which updates via DOM my toolbar.
So this is the function which is called when the toolbar is loaded. It sets the links visibility of the toolbar.
function esbTB_LoadMenue() {
var MenuItemNews = document.getElementById("esbTb_rss_reader");
var MenuItemEservice = document.getElementById("esbTb_estv");
if (!(prefManager.getBoolPref("extensions.esbtoolbar.ShowNews"))) {
MenuItemNews.style.display = 'none';
}
if (!(prefManager.getBoolPref("extensions.esbtoolbar.ShowEservice"))) {
MenuItemEservice.style.display = 'none';
}
}
So I tried some thinks like adding an eventlistener to the dialog which doesn't work... in the way I tried... And i also tried to hand over the window object from the root window( the toolbar) as an argument of the opendialog function changed the function to this.
function esbTB_LoadMenue(RootWindow) {
var MenuItemNews = RootWindow.getElementById("esbTb_rss_reader");
var MenuItemEservice = RootWindow.getElementById("esbTb_estv");}
And then tried to Access the elements over the handover object, but this also not changed my toolbar at runtime.
So what i'm trying to do is to change the visibile links in my toolbar during the runtime and I don't get it how I should do that...
thanks in advance
