Widget Object

Playing with the Widget object:

First of all - visible structure (via pprint from uniteness):

[object Widget].setPreferenceForKey(...) // function
[object Widget].preferenceForKey(...) // function
[object Widget].prepareForTransition(...) // function
[object Widget].performTransition(...) // function
[object Widget].openURL(...) // function
[object Widget].getAttention(...) // function
[object Widget].showNotification(...) // function
[object Widget].show(...) // function
[object Widget].hide(...) // function
[object Widget].addEventListener(...) // function
[object Widget].removeEventListener(...) // function
[object Widget].dispatchEvent(...) // function
[object Widget].identifier = "058944100304941301421245419213"
[object Widget].ondragstart = [null??]
[object Widget].ondragstop = [null??]
[object Widget].onhide = [null??]
[object Widget].onshow = [null??]
[object Widget].originURL = ""
[object Widget].widgetMode = "widget"

wigdet.show()

Mysterious window appears :)

widget.hide()

Whew!

> opera.toTray()   // just kidding, there's no such method

...moving on!

widget.getAttention()  // start dancing in court room!

The Need for Ritalin - doesn't do anything.

KV

widget.setPreferenceForKey('bar','foo');
r.write( widget.preferenceForKey('foo') );

You earn +5 lock-picking skill for discovering a persistent key-value storage!

Nice, it writes 'bar' (which I wrote there), it is not reset between connections, would need to test that for limits. I.e. you can use it as a regular key-value database, the question is performance.

> widget.setHotKey('Ctrl+Shift+E', ERROR_CONSOLE_ALWAYS_ON_TOP) 
sadly, doesn't do anything too, except for raising some beautiful exception

if(computerOwnerIsBusyProgramming()) {
   widget.openURL('http://twitter.com');
   widget.openURL('http://facebook.com');
   widget.openURL('http://slashdot.org');
   widget.openURL('http://cracked.com');

Opens some nice windows for Opera Unite owner. Recommend-me-a-page-to-open Service anyone? :) I know I wouldn't let anyone see my screen if that Service is impelemented.

Seriously - opens a new tab in browser on "server-side". Might be useful for recommendations to update

widget.openURL('http://..../new-version.us')
