105 to get a resource. This event may be vetoed to prevent navigating to this
106 resource. Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one

114 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_LOADED event generated when the document
115 is fully loaded and displayed.

117 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_ERROR event generated when a navigation
118 error occurs.
119 The integer associated with this event will be a wxWebNavigationError item.
120 The string associated with this event may contain a backend-specific more
