73132 - Change print dialog posing for embedder override

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 70950

(Core :: Printing: Output, enhancement)

Description

[Peter Trudelle]

Need to change how print dialog is invoked so it can be overridden by embedding 
clients.  Some details below, more at URL above; danm will be happy to help and 
answer questions.

UI Posed by Gecko (Up Calls)
============================
These are calls to window.open, in one form or another, which are relevant to 
embedding. They're split into calls and callers, where a call is considered to 
be a base-level call to window.open which should be API-ized like we're 
discussing, and a caller is something which currently uses window.open but 
should use one of these new APIs when they're created.

I've tried to categorize these sensibly... Each category implies a UI-posing 
component with methods for each item marked "CALL" in that category. Items 
marked "CALLER" in a given category may imply a new method in that component 
(eg. the print dialog stuff), or may just be a caller of some other extant 
method in a different component (eg. the uri loader opening a new window).

Print Dialog:
CALLER: /gfx/src/beos/nsDeviceContextSpecB.cpp#153
CALLER: /gfx/src/gtk/nsDeviceContextSpecG.cpp#187
CALLER: /gfx/src/qt/nsDeviceContextSpecQT.cpp#148
CALLER: /gfx/src/xlib/nsDeviceContextSpecXlib.cpp#143
  in ::Init for all device context specs, open

Adding mozilla0.9 keyword, dependency

Apologies for all the bug spam. For the detailed overview of this task, see
danm's document:

See my first cut at a component-wise categorization:

And if you want to laugh, see also my brainless incomplete IDL for these components:

Is this as simple as a silent parameter on our prining dialog, we already have a 
bug for this.. and are exposing this through the embedding API as we speak.  
This was discussed in the printing embedding meetings also..

Set milestone to mozilla0.9

Comment 5

[dcone (gone)]

This has been taken care of with the embedding API changes.. and there is a bug 
filed for this.
