I think you can take a look at minimizetotray’s source code, this is a extension works on Windows.

The JavaScript callback is “window.extensions.mook.minimizetotray .trayCallback”
And it use following bind the callback function
this.m_windowHider.minimize(baseWindows.length, baseWindows, null, this.trayCallback);
This is the IDL define
And you can look the minimize function detail

Hope these helpful

I am having the problem as John encountered, I can only see “undefined” on the JavaScript alert box”. Does anyone have idea why?

You can check out the Firetray’s source code from google code.
Or browse it online via http://code.google.com/p/firetray/source/browse

thanks for the tip, that’s really smart. I’m now able to trig a js function from my c++ xpcom component. The only bug is that the parameter given to the callback are not correctly handled, ie they appears as ‘undefined’ in the js function. Any idea?
