Bug 26659 – Support hidding an control bar element from the Media element controller (display:none does not work for media control elements)

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Pierre d'Herbemont]

Support hidding an control bar element from the Media element controller.

We would then be able to remove the some buttons from <video controls> if the back end doesn't support those actions.

patch v2.

You ChangeLog is missing the bug url.

Style:
+    if(m_isHidden)
+    if(!m_mediaElement || !m_mediaElement->renderer())
+    if (!renderer() && !m_isHidden && style->display() != NONE)
+    {
+        if (renderer)
+        {

When does this ever return NULL?
+        RenderObject* renderer = createRenderer(m_mediaElement->renderer()->renderArena(), style);

Why don't we just early-return in that case?

Why manually set attached instead of calling attach?
+            setAttached();

That's what previous code does.

I guess it will be NULL if malloc fails basically.

ok.

That's what previous code was doing :)

Using attach() requires some changes. And I think it deserve a separate bug. (Basically we need to create a renderer with a specific style, so we need a to have styleForRenderer() virtual, along with other changes).
I have created https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26697 for that.

Let's get rid of the m_isHidden on MediaControlInputElement, and a virtual method shouldBeVisible() on MediaControlInputElement that you can override to ask about fullscreen etc. updateStyle() will then need to handle the detach() case. Also need to clean up update() vs. updateStyle().

It's probably worth changing this to call rendererIsNeeded() just once.
