opera.extension.windows.create()

By Opera Software

From Opera 15 onward, Opera 11 & 12’s extension format is no longer supported, and instead, we’ve switched to Chromium’s extension model. Check out our new documentation for developing extensions for Opera 15 and higher and start building your own extensions.

Description:

The create() method provides a way to create a new browser window. When the create() method is invoked, the implementation must run the algorithm to create a window using tabs and properties as the argument, if provided.

Parameters:

• tabs (optional): The tab, tab group or tab properties of the new window.
• properties (optional): The properties of the new window, such as its position/dimensions or whether it's private.

Syntax:

BrowserWindow create (optional Object[] tabs, optional BrowserWindowProperties properties)

Example:

The following example creates a button in the browser toolbar. When the button is clicked, a new, empty browser window is created.

//
// The background process (e.g. index.html)
//

// Specify the properties of the button before creating it.
var UIItemProperties = {
  disabled: false,
  title: "Window creation test",
  icon: "images/icon_18.png",
  onclick: function() {
    // Open a new browser window
    opera.extension.windows.create();
  }
};

// Create the button and add it to the toolbar.
var button = opera.contexts.toolbar.createItem( UIItemProperties );
opera.contexts.toolbar.addItem(button);
