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

121  // These functions have two usage scenarios: changing the text direction
122  // from a menu (as Safari does), and; changing the text direction when a user
123  // presses a set of keys (as IE and Firefox do).
124  // 1. Change the text direction from a menu.
125  // In this scenario, we receive a menu event only once and we should update

131  //   }
132  // 2. Change the text direction when pressing a set of keys.
133  // Because of auto-repeat, we may receive the same key-press event many
134  // times while we presses the keys and it is nonsense to send the same IPC
135  // message every time when we receive a key-press event.
136  // To suppress the number of IPC messages, we just update the text direction
137  // when receiving a key-press event and send an IPC message when we release
138  // the keys as listed in the following snippet.

147  //     NotifyTextDirection();

150  // succeeding UpdateTextDirection() requests until calling
