\section{\class{wxHtmlWindow}}\label{wxhtmlwindow}

wxHtmlWindow is probably the only class you will directly use
unless you want to do something special (like adding new tag
handlers or MIME filters)

Purpose of this class is to display HTML page (either local
file or downloaded via HTTP protocol) in a window. Width
of window is constant - given in constructor - virtual height
is changed dynamicly depending on page size.
Once the window is created you can set it's content by calling
\helpref{SetPage(text)}{wxhtmlwindowsetpage} or 
\helpref{LoadPage(filename)}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage}. 

\wxheading{Derived from}

wxScrolledWindow

\wxheading{Include files}

<wxhtml/wxhtmlwin.h>

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::wxHtmlWindow}\label{wxhtmlwindowwxhtmlwindow}

\func{}{wxHtmlWindow}{\void}

Default constructor.

\func{}{wxHtmlWindow}{\param{wxWindow }{*parent}, \param{wxWindowID }{id = -1}, \param{const wxPoint\& }{pos = wxDefaultPosition}, \param{const wxSize\& }{size = wxDefaultSize}, \param{long }{style = wxHW_SCROLLBAR_AUTO}, \param{const wxString\& }{name = "htmlWindow"}}

Constructor. The parameters are same as in wxScrollWindow ctor.
(Too lazy to document it once again... :-)

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{style}{wxHW\_SCROLLBAR\_NEVER,  or wxHW\_SCROLLBAR\_AUTO. 
Affects appearance of vertical scrollbar in the window.}

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::SetPage}\label{wxhtmlwindowsetpage}

\func{bool}{SetPage}{\param{const wxString\& }{source}}

Sets HTML page and display it. This won't {\bf load} the page!!
It will display the {\it source}. See example:

\begin{verbatim}
htmlwin -> SetPage("<html><body>Hello, world!</body></html>");
\end{verbatim}

If you want to load document from some location use
\helpref{LoadPage}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage} instead.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{source}{The HTML document source to be displayed.}

\wxheading{Return value}

FALSE if an error occured, TRUE otherwise

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::LoadPage}\label{wxhtmlwindowloadpage}

\func{bool}{LoadPage}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}

Unlike SetPage this function first loads HTML page from {\it location}
and then displays it. See example:

\begin{verbatim}
htmlwin -> SetPage("help/myproject/index.htm");
\end{verbatim}

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{location}{The address of document. See \helpref{wxFileSystem}{wxfilesystem} for details on address format and behaviour of "opener".}

\wxheading{Return value}

FALSE if an error occured, TRUE otherwise

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::GetOpenedPage}\label{wxhtmlwindowgetopenedpage}

\func{wxString}{GetOpenedPage}{\void}

Returns full location of the opened page. If no page is opened or if the displayed page wasn't
produced by call to LoadPage, empty string is returned.

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedFrame}\label{wxhtmlwindowsetrelatedframe}

\func{void}{SetRelatedFrame}{\param{wxFrame* }{frame}, \param{const wxString\& }{format}}

Sets frame in which page title will be displayed. {\it format} is format of
frame title, e.g. "HtmlHelp : \%s". It must contain exactly one \%s. This
\%s is substituted with HTML page title.

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::GetRelatedFrame}\label{wxhtmlwindowgetrelatedframe}

\constfunc{wxFrame*}{GetRelatedFrame}{\void}

Returns the related frame.

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedStatusBar}\label{wxhtmlwindowsetrelatedstatusbar}

\func{void}{SetRelatedStatusBar}{\param{int }{bar}}

{\bf After} calling \helpref{SetRelatedFrame}{wxhtmlwindowsetrelatedframe},
this sets statusbar slot where messages will be displayed.
(Default is -1 = no messages.)

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{bar}{statusbar slot number (0..n)}

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::SetFonts}\label{wxhtmlwindowsetfonts}

\func{void}{SetFonts}{\param{wxString }{normal\_face}, \param{int }{normal\_italic\_mode}, \param{wxString }{fixed\_face}, \param{int }{fixed\_italic\_mode}, \param{int }{*sizes}}

This function sets font sizes and faces.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{normal_face}{This is face name for normal (i.e. non-fixed) font. 
It can be either empty string (then the default face is choosen) or
platform-specific face name. Examples are "helvetica" under Unix or
"Times New Roman" under Windows.}

\docparam{normal_italic_mode}{This is either wxSLANT or wxITALIC.
It determines how
italic (<I>..</I>) text is handled. See wxFont documentation for
details. For example you should use wxSLANT in conjuction with
"helvetica" face or wxITALIC with "times" face.}

\docparam{fixed_face}{The same thing for fixed face ( <TT>..</TT> )}

\docparam{fixed_italic_mode}{The same thing for fixed face.}

\docparam{sizes}{This is an array of 7 items of {\it int} type.
The values represent size of font with HTML size from -2 to +4
( <FONT SIZE=-2> to <FONT SIZE=+4> )}

\wxheading{Defaults}

Under wxGTK:

\begin{verbatim}
    SetFonts("", wxSLANT, "", wxSLANT, {10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 24, 32});
\end{verbatim}

Under Windows:

\begin{verbatim}
    SetFonts("", wxSLANT, "", wxSLANT, {7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 22, 30});
\end{verbatim}

Athough it seems different the fact is that the fonts are of approximately
same size under both platforms (due to wxMSW / wxGTK inconsistency)

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::SetBorders}\label{wxhtmlwindowsetborders}

\func{void}{SetBorders}{\param{int }{b}}

This function sets the space between border of window and HTML contents. See image:

\image{}{border.bmp}

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{b}{indentation from borders in pixels}

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::ReadCustomization}\label{wxhtmlwindowreadcustomization}

\func{virtual void}{ReadCustomization}{\param{wxConfigBase }{*cfg}, \param{wxString }{path = wxEmptyString}}

This reads custom settings from wxConfig. It uses the path 'path'
if given, otherwise it saves info into currently selected path.
The values are stored in sub-path {\tt wxHtmlWindow}

Read values : all things set by SetFonts, SetBorders.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{cfg}{wxConfig from which you wanna read configuration}

\docparam{path}{Optional path in config tree. If not given current path is used.}

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::WriteCustomization}\label{wxhtmlwindowwritecustomization}

\func{virtual void}{WriteCustomization}{\param{wxConfigBase }{*cfg}, \param{wxString }{path = wxEmptyString}}

Saves custom settings into wxConfig. It uses the path 'path'
if given, otherwise it saves info into currently selected path.
Regardless path is given or not the function creates sub-path 
{\tt wxHtmlWindow}

Saved values : all things set by SetFonts, SetBorders.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{cfg}{wxConfig to which you wanna save configuration}

\docparam{path}{Optional path in config tree. If not given current path is used.}


\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::GetInternalRepresentation}\label{wxhtmlwindowgetinternalrepresentation}

\constfunc{wxHtmlContainerCell*}{GetInternalRepresentation}{\void}

Returns pointer to the top-level container.

See also: \helpref{Cells Overview}{cells}, 
\helpref{Printing Overview}{printing}

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::AddFilter}\label{wxhtmlwindowaddfilter}

\func{static void}{AddFilter}{\param{wxHtmlFilter }{*filter}}

Adds \helpref{input filter}{filters} to the static list of available
filters. These filters are present by default:

\begin{itemize}
\item {\tt text/html} MIME type
\item {\tt image/*} MIME types
\item Plain Text filter (this filter is used if no other filter matches)
\end{itemize}

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::HistoryBack}\label{wxhtmlwindowhistoryback}

\func{bool}{HistoryBack}{\void}

Moves back to the previous page. (each page displayed using 
\helpref{LoadPage}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage} is stored in history list.)

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::HistoryForward}\label{wxhtmlwindowhistoryforward}

\func{bool}{HistoryForward}{\void}

Moves to next page in history.

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::HistoryClear}\label{wxhtmlwindowhistoryclear}

\func{void}{HistoryClear}{\void}

Clears history.

\membersection{wxHtmlWindow::OnLinkClicked}\label{wxhtmlwindowonlinkclicked}

\func{virtual void}{OnLinkClicked}{\param{const wxString\& }{link}}

Called when user clicks on hypertext link. Default behaviour is to call 
\helpref{LoadPage}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage} and do nothing else.
