I am using GeckoFX16 and xulrunner-16.0.2.en-US.win32 in my project. The thing is, I want to call a C# method in javascript.
I am curious, is there a way to do this?
Just like below:
C#
part:
private GeckoWebBrowser weBrowser;
public browser()
{
InitializeComponent();
Gecko.Xpcom.Initialize("xulrunner");
weBrowser = new GeckoWebBrowser();
weBrowser.Parent = this;
weBrowser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
weBrowser.Navigate("test.html");
}
public string loadData(){
//load data from local file.
return str;
}
javascript
part:
<script type='text/javascript'>
var data = window.loadData();
alert(data);
</script>
I am new in this area, I’ll appreciate if it is possible!
You can use a MessageEvent to invoke code in c#, but as far as I know you can't then return a string like you're wanting to. One of the unit tests demonstrates how to invoke the c# code:
I know it's awkward, but you could then use a c#-->javascript call to get data back to javascript-land. See This Question for how to do that. So your javascript would first send this message to c# land, then it would get a callback with the string value you need.
Hope that helps.
You can add message event listener to your web browser and call your method like this:
...
Now you can add more msg events to your msg listener (if you need to) and fire them all in the same way.
Important update:
Currently code with
event.initMessageEvent
does not work because this construction has been replaced on
