\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).

The purpose of this class is to display HTML pages (either local
file or downloaded via HTTP protocol) in a window. The width
of the window is constant - given in the constructor - and virtual height
is changed dynamically depending on page size.
Once the window is created you can set its content by calling 
\helpref{SetPage(text)}{wxhtmlwindowsetpage},
\helpref{LoadPage(filename)}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage} or
\helpref{LoadFile}{wxhtmlwindowloadfile}.

\wxheading{Note}

wxHtmlWindow uses the \helpref{wxImage}{wximage} class for displaying images.
Don't forget to initialize all image formats you need before loading any page!
(See \helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers} and
\helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler}.)

\wxheading{Derived from}

\helpref{wxScrolledWindow}{wxscrolledwindow}

\wxheading{Include files}

<wx/html/htmlwin.h>

\wxheading{Window styles}

\twocolwidtha{5cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHW\_SCROLLBAR\_NEVER}}{Never display scrollbars, not
even when the page is larger than the window.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHW\_SCROLLBAR\_AUTO}}{Display scrollbars only if
page's size exceeds window's size.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHW\_NO\_SELECTION}}{Don't allow the user to select
text.}
\end{twocollist}
