42 // A RenderWidgetHost manages the browser side of a browser<->renderer
43 // HWND connection. The HWND lives in the browser process, and
44 // windows events are sent over IPC to the corresponding object in the
45 // renderer. The renderer paints into shared memory, which we
46 // transfer to a backing store and blit to the screen when Windows
47 // sends us a WM_PAINT message.
49 // How Shutdown Works
51 // There are two situations in which this object, a RenderWidgetHost, can be
52 // instantiated:
54 // 1. By a WebContents as the communication conduit for a rendered web page.
55 // The WebContents instantiates a derived class: RenderViewHost.
56 // 2. By a WebContents as the communication conduit for a select widget. The
57 // WebContents instantiates the RenderWidgetHost directly.
59 // For every WebContents there are several objects in play that need to be
60 // properly destroyed or cleaned up when certain events occur.
62 // - WebContents - the WebContents itself, and its associated HWND.
63 // - RenderViewHost - representing the communication conduit with the child
64 // process.
65 // - RenderWidgetHostView - the view of the web page content, message handler,
66 // and plugin root.
68 // Normally, the WebContents contains a child RenderWidgetHostView that renders
69 // the contents of the loaded page. It has a WS_CLIPCHILDREN style so that it
70 // does no painting of its own.
72 // The lifetime of the RenderWidgetHostView is tied to the render process. If
73 // the render process dies, the RenderWidgetHostView goes away and all
74 // references to it must become nullptr.
76 // RenderViewHost (a RenderWidgetHost subclass) is the conduit used to
77 // communicate with the RenderView and is owned by the WebContents. If the
78 // render process crashes, the RenderViewHost remains and restarts the render
79 // process if needed to continue navigation.
81 // Some examples of how shutdown works:
83 // For a WebContents, its Destroy method tells the RenderViewHost to
84 // shut down the render process and die.
86 // When the render process is destroyed it destroys the View: the
87 // RenderWidgetHostView, which destroys its HWND and deletes that object.
89 // For select popups, the situation is a little different. The RenderWidgetHost
90 // associated with the select popup owns the view and itself (is responsible
91 // for destroying itself when the view is closed). The WebContents's only
92 // responsibility is to select popups is to create them when it is told to. When
93 // the View is destroyed via an IPC message (for when WebCore destroys the
94 // popup, e.g. if the user selects one of the options), or because
95 // WM_CANCELMODE is received by the view, the View schedules the destruction of
96 // the render process. However in this case since there's no WebContents
97 // container, when the render process is destroyed, the RenderWidgetHost just
98 // deletes itself, which is safe because no one else should have any references
99 // to it (the WebContents does not).
101 // It should be noted that the RenderViewHost, not the RenderWidgetHost,
102 // handles IPC messages relating to the render process going away, since the
103 // way a RenderViewHost (WebContents) handles the process dying is different to
104 // the way a select popup does. As such the RenderWidgetHostView handles these
105 // messages for select popups. This placement is more out of convenience than
106 // anything else. When the view is live, these messages are forwarded to it by
107 // the RenderWidgetHost's IPC message map.

124 // presses a set of keys (as IE and Firefox do).
125 // 1. Change the text direction from a menu.
126 // In this scenario, we receive a menu event only once and we should update
127 // the text direction immediately when a user chooses a menu item. So, we
128 // should call both functions at once as listed in the following snippet.
129 // void RenderViewHost::SetTextDirection(WebTextDirection direction) {
130 // UpdateTextDirection(direction);
131 // NotifyTextDirection();
132 // }
133 // 2. Change the text direction when pressing a set of keys.
134 // Because of auto-repeat, we may receive the same key-press event many
135 // times while we presses the keys and it is nonsense to send the same IPC
136 // message every time when we receive a key-press event.
137 // To suppress the number of IPC messages, we just update the text direction
138 // when receiving a key-press event and send an IPC message when we release
139 // the keys as listed in the following snippet.
140 // if (key_event.type == WebKeyboardEvent::KEY_DOWN) {

146 // }

148 // NotifyTextDirection();
149 // }

151 // succeeding UpdateTextDirection() requests until calling
152 // NotifyTextDirection(). (We may receive keydown events even after we
