8 wxHtmlWindow is probably the only class you will directly use
9 unless you want to do something special (like adding new tag
10 handlers or MIME filters).
11
12 The purpose of this class is to display HTML pages (either local
13 file or downloaded via HTTP protocol) in a window. The width
14 of the window is constant - given in the constructor - and virtual height
15 is changed dynamically depending on page size.
16 Once the window is created you can set its content by calling
17 \helpref{SetPage(text)}{wxhtmlwindowsetpage} or
18 \helpref{LoadPage(filename)}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage}.

28 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::wxHtmlWindow}\label{wxhtmlwindowwxhtmlwindow}
29
30 \func{}{wxHtmlWindow}{\void}
31
32 Default constructor.
33
34 \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"}}
35
36 Constructor. The parameters are the same as for the \helpref{wxScrolledWindow}{wxscrolledwindow} constructor.
37
38 \wxheading{Parameters}
39
40 \docparam{style}{wxHW\_SCROLLBAR\_NEVER, or wxHW\_SCROLLBAR\_AUTO.
41 Affects the appearance of vertical scrollbar in the window.}

44
45 \func{static void}{AddFilter}{\param{wxHtmlFilter }{*filter}}
46
47 Adds \helpref{input filter}{filters} to the static list of available
48 filters. These filters are present by default:
49
50 \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
51 \item {\tt text/html} MIME type
52 \item {\tt image/*} MIME types
53 \item Plain Text filter (this filter is used if no other filter matches)
54 \end{itemize}
55
56 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::GetInternalRepresentation}\label{wxhtmlwindowgetinternalrepresentation}
57
58 \constfunc{wxHtmlContainerCell*}{GetInternalRepresentation}{\void}

66
67 \func{wxString}{GetOpenedPage}{\void}

69 Returns full location of the opened page. If no page is opened or if the displayed page wasn't
70 produced by call to LoadPage, empty string is returned.
71

73
74 \constfunc{wxFrame*}{GetRelatedFrame}{\void}
75

79
80 \func{bool}{HistoryBack}{\void}
81
82 Moves back to the previous page. (each page displayed using

86
87 \func{void}{HistoryClear}{\void}
88
89 Clears history.

96
97 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::LoadPage}\label{wxhtmlwindowloadpage}
98
99 \func{bool}{LoadPage}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
100
101 Unlike SetPage this function first loads HTML page from {\it location}
102 and then displays it. See example:
103
104 \begin{verbatim}
105 htmlwin -> SetPage("help/myproject/index.htm");
106 \end{verbatim}
107
108 \wxheading{Parameters}
109
110 \docparam{location}{The address of document. See \helpref{wxFileSystem}{wxfilesystem} for details on address format and behaviour of "opener".}
111
112 \wxheading{Return value}
113
114 FALSE if an error occured, TRUE otherwise
115
116 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::OnLinkClicked}\label{wxhtmlwindowonlinkclicked}
117
118 \func{virtual void}{OnLinkClicked}{\param{const wxString\& }{link}}
119
120 Called when user clicks on hypertext link. Default behaviour is to call
121 \helpref{LoadPage}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage} and do nothing else.
122
123 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::ReadCustomization}\label{wxhtmlwindowreadcustomization}
124
125 \func{virtual void}{ReadCustomization}{\param{wxConfigBase }{*cfg}, \param{wxString }{path = wxEmptyString}}
126
127 This reads custom settings from wxConfig. It uses the path 'path'
128 if given, otherwise it saves info into currently selected path.
129 The values are stored in sub-path {\tt wxHtmlWindow}
130
131 Read values: all things set by SetFonts, SetBorders.
132
133 \wxheading{Parameters}
134
135 \docparam{cfg}{wxConfig from which you want to read the configuration.}
136
137 \docparam{path}{Optional path in config tree. If not given current path is used.}
138
139 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::SetBorders}\label{wxhtmlwindowsetborders}
140
141 \func{void}{SetBorders}{\param{int }{b}}
142
143 This function sets the space between border of window and HTML contents. See image:
144
145 \image{}{border.bmp}
146
147 \wxheading{Parameters}
148
149 \docparam{b}{indentation from borders in pixels}
150
151 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::SetFonts}\label{wxhtmlwindowsetfonts}
152
153 \func{void}{SetFonts}{\param{wxString }{normal\_face}, \param{int }{normal\_italic\_mode}, \param{wxString }{fixed\_face}, \param{int }{fixed\_italic\_mode}, \param{const int }{*sizes}}
154
155 This function sets font sizes and faces.
156
157 \wxheading{Parameters}
158
159 \docparam{normal\_face}{This is face name for normal (i.e. non-fixed) font.
160 It can be either empty string (then the default face is choosen) or
161 platform-specific face name. Examples are "helvetica" under Unix or
162 "Times New Roman" under Windows.}
163
164 \docparam{normal\_italic\_mode}{This is either wxSLANT or wxITALIC.
165 It determines how
166 italic (<I>..</I>) text is handled. See wxFont documentation for
167 details. For example you should use wxSLANT in conjuction with
168 "helvetica" face or wxITALIC with "times" face.}
169
170 \docparam{fixed\_face}{The same thing for fixed face ( <TT>..</TT> )}
171
172 \docparam{fixed\_italic\_mode}{The same thing for fixed face.}
173
174 \docparam{sizes}{This is an array of 7 items of {\it int} type.
175 The values represent size of font with HTML size from -2 to +4
176 ( <FONT SIZE=-2> to <FONT SIZE=+4> )}
177
178 \wxheading{Defaults}
179
180 Under wxGTK:
181
182 \begin{verbatim}
183 SetFonts("", wxSLANT, "", wxSLANT, {10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 24, 32});
184 \end{verbatim}
185
186 Under Windows:
187
188 \begin{verbatim}
189 SetFonts("", wxSLANT, "", wxSLANT, {7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 22, 30});
190 \end{verbatim}
191
192 Athough it seems different the fact is that the fonts are of approximately
193 same size under both platforms (due to wxMSW / wxGTK inconsistency)
194
195 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::SetPage}\label{wxhtmlwindowsetpage}
196
197 \func{bool}{SetPage}{\param{const wxString\& }{source}}
198
199 Sets HTML page and display it. This won't {\bf load} the page!!
200 It will display the {\it source}. See example:
201
202 \begin{verbatim}
203 htmlwin -> SetPage("<html><body>Hello, world!</body></html>");
204 \end{verbatim}
205
206 If you want to load a document from some location use
207 \helpref{LoadPage}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage} instead.
208
209 \wxheading{Parameters}
210
211 \docparam{source}{The HTML document source to be displayed.}
212
213 \wxheading{Return value}

218
219 \func{void}{SetRelatedFrame}{\param{wxFrame* }{frame}, \param{const wxString\& }{format}}
220
221 Sets the frame in which page title will be displayed. {\it format} is format of
222 frame title, e.g. "HtmlHelp : \%s". It must contain exactly one \%s. This
223 \%s is substituted with HTML page title.
224
225 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedStatusBar}\label{wxhtmlwindowsetrelatedstatusbar}
226
227 \func{void}{SetRelatedStatusBar}{\param{int }{bar}}
228
229 {\bf After} calling \helpref{SetRelatedFrame}{wxhtmlwindowsetrelatedframe},
230 this sets statusbar slot where messages will be displayed.
231 (Default is -1 = no messages.)
232
233 \wxheading{Parameters}
234
235 \docparam{bar}{statusbar slot number (0..n)}
236
237 \membersection{wxHtmlWindow::WriteCustomization}\label{wxhtmlwindowwritecustomization}
238
239 \func{virtual void}{WriteCustomization}{\param{wxConfigBase }{*cfg}, \param{wxString }{path = wxEmptyString}}
240
241 Saves custom settings into wxConfig. It uses the path 'path'
242 if given, otherwise it saves info into currently selected path.
243 Regardless of whether the path is given or not, the function creates sub-path
244 {\tt wxHtmlWindow}.
245
246 Saved values: all things set by SetFonts, SetBorders.
247
248 \wxheading{Parameters}
249
