3\wxheading{Displaying HTML}
4
5First of all, you must include <wx/wxhtml.h>.
6
7Class \helpref{wxHtmlWindow}{wxhtmlwindow} (derived from wxScrolledWindow)
8is used to display HTML documents.
9It has two important methods: \helpref{LoadPage}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage}
10and \helpref{SetPage}{wxhtmlwindowsetpage}.
11LoadPage loads and displays HTML file while SetPage displays directly the
12passed {\bf string}. See the example:
13
14\begin{verbatim}
15 mywin -> LoadPage("test.htm");
16 mywin -> SetPage("<html><body>"
17 "<h1>Error</h1>"
18 "Some error occurred :-H)"
19 "</body></hmtl>");
20\end{verbatim}

24See \helpref{wxHtmlHelpController}{wxhtmlhelpcontroller}.

26\wxheading{Setting up wxHtmlWindow}
27
28Because wxHtmlWindow is derived from wxScrolledWindow and not from
29wxFrame, it doesn't have visible frame. But the user usually wants to see
30the title of HTML page displayed somewhere and the frame's titlebar is
31the ideal place for it.
32
33wxHtmlWindow provides 2 methods in order to handle this:
34\helpref{SetRelatedFrame}{wxhtmlwindowsetrelatedframe} and
35\helpref{SetRelatedStatusBar}{wxhtmlwindowsetrelatedstatusbar}.
36See the example:
37
38\begin{verbatim}
39 html = new wxHtmlWindow(this);
40 html -> SetRelatedFrame(this, "HTML : %%s");
41 html -> SetRelatedStatusBar(0);
42\end{verbatim}
43
44The first command associates the HTML object with its parent frame
45(this points to wxFrame object there) and sets the format of the title.
46Page title "Hello, world!" will be displayed as "HTML : Hello, world!"
47in this example.
48
49The second command sets which frame's status bar should be used to display
50browser's messages (such as "Loading..." or "Done" or hypertext links).
51
52\wxheading{Customizing wxHtmlWindow}
53
54You can customize wxHtmlWindow by setting font size, font face and
55borders (space between border of window and displayed HTML). Related functions:
56
57\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
58\item \helpref{SetFonts}{wxhtmlwindowsetfonts}
59\item \helpref{SetBorders}{wxhtmlwindowsetborders}
60\item \helpref{ReadCustomization}{wxhtmlwindowreadcustomization}
61\item \helpref{WriteCustomization}{wxhtmlwindowwritecustomization}
62\end{itemize}
63
64The last two functions are used to store user customization info wxConfig stuff
65(for example in the registry under Windows, or in a dotfile under Unix).
