@class wxWebView
This control may be used to render web (HTML / CSS / javascript) documents.
It is designed to allow the creation of multiple backends for each port,
although currently just one is available. It differs from wxHtmlWindow in
that each backend is actually a full rendering engine, Trident on MSW and
Webkit on OS X and GTK. This allows the correct viewing of complex pages with
javascript and css.
@section descriptions Backend Descriptions
@par wxWEBVIEW_BACKEND_IE (MSW)
The IE backend uses Microsoft's Trident rendering engine, specifically the
version used by the locally installed copy of Internet Explorer. As such it
is only available for the MSW port. By default recent versions of the
WebBrowser
control, which this backend uses, emulate Internet Explorer 7. This can be
changed with a registry setting, see
this article for more information. This backend has full support for
custom schemes and virtual file systems.
@par wxWEBVIEW_WEBKIT (GTK)
Under GTK the WebKit backend uses
WebKitGTK+. The current minimum version
required is 1.3.1 which ships by default with Ubuntu Natty and Debian
Wheezy and has the package name libwebkitgtk-dev. Custom schemes and
virtual files systems are supported under this backend, however embedded
resources such as images and stylesheets are currently loaded using the
data:// scheme.
@par wxWEBVIEW_WEBKIT (OSX)
The OS X WebKit backend uses Apple's
WebView
class. This backend has full support for custom schemes and virtual file
systems.
@section async Asynchronous Notifications
Many of the methods in wxWebView are asynchronous, i.e. they return
immediately and perform their work in the background. This includes
functions such as LoadURL() and Reload(). To receive notification of the
progress and completion of these functions you need to handle the events
that are provided. Specifically @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED notifies
when the page or a sub-frame has finished loading and
@c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR notifies that an error has occurred.
@section vfs Virtual File Systems and Custom Schemes
wxWebView supports the registering of custom scheme handlers, for example
@c file or @c http. To do this create a new class which inherits from
wxWebViewHandler, where wxWebHandler::GetFile() returns a pointer to a
wxFSFile which represents the given url. You can then register your handler
with RegisterHandler() it will be called for all pages and resources.
wxWebViewFSHandler is provided to access the virtual file system encapsulated by
wxFileSystem. The wxMemoryFSHandler documentation gives an example of how this
may be used.
wxWebViewArchiveHandler is provided to allow the navigation of pages inside a zip
archive. It supports paths of the form:
@c scheme:///C:/example/docs.zip;protocol=zip/main.htm
@beginEventEmissionTable{wxWebViewEvent}
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATING(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATING event, generated before trying
to get a resource. This event may be vetoed to prevent navigating to this
resource. Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one
such event will be generated per frame.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATED event generated after it was
confirmed that a resource would be requested. This event may not be vetoed.
Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one such event
will be generated per frame.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED event generated when the document
is fully loaded and displayed. Note that if the displayed HTML document has
several frames, one such event will be generated per frame.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR event generated when a navigation
error occurs.
The integer associated with this event will be a wxWebNavigationError item.
The string associated with this event may contain a backend-specific more
precise error message/code.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW event, generated when a new
window is created. You must handle this event if you want anything to
happen, for example to load the page in a new window or tab.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_TITLE_CHANGED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_TITLE_CHANGED event, generated when
the page title changes. Use GetString to get the title.
