90 @class wxWebViewHistoryItem
92 A simple class that contains the URL and title of an element of the history
101 class wxWebViewHistoryItem
107 wxWebViewHistoryItem(const wxString
& url
, const wxString
& title
);
110 @return The url of the page.
115 @return The title of the page.
121 @class wxWebViewHandler
123 The base class for handling custom schemes in wxWebView, for example to
124 allow virtual file system support.
132 class wxWebViewHandler
136 Constructor. Takes the name of the scheme that will be handled by this
137 class for example @c file or @c zip.
139 wxWebViewHandler(const wxString
& scheme
);
142 @return A pointer to the file represented by @c uri.
144 virtual wxFSFile
* GetFile(const wxString
&uri
) = 0;
147 @return The name of the scheme, as passed to the constructor.
149 virtual wxString
GetName() const;
155 This control may be used to render web (HTML / CSS / javascript) documents.
156 It is designed to allow the creation of multiple backends for each port,
157 although currently just one is available. It differs from wxHtmlWindow in
158 that each backend is actually a full rendering engine, Trident on MSW and
159 Webkit on OSX and GTK. This allows the correct viewing complex pages with
162 @section descriptions Backend Descriptions
164 @par wxWEB_VIEW_BACKEND_IE (MSW)
166 The IE backend uses Microsoft's Trident rendering engine, specifically the
167 version used by the locally installed copy of Internet Explorer. As such it
168 is only available for the MSW port. By default recent versions of the
169 <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752085%28v=VS.85%29.aspx">WebBrowser</a>
170 control, which this backend uses, emulate Internet Explorer 7. This can be
171 changed with a registry setting, see
172 <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330730%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#browser_emulation">
173 this</a> article for more information. This backend has full support for
174 custom schemes and virtual file systems.
176 @par wxWEB_VIEW_WEBKIT (GTK)
178 Under GTK the WebKit backend uses
179 <a href="http://webkitgtk.org/">WebKitGTK+</a>. The current minimum version
180 required is 1.3.1 which ships by default with Ubuntu Natty and Debian
181 Wheezy and has the package name libwebkitgtk-dev. Custom schemes and
182 virtual files systems are supported under this backend, however embedded
183 resources such as images and stylesheets are currently loaded using the
186 @par wxWEB_VIEW_WEBKIT (OSX)
188 The OSX WebKit backend uses Apple's
189 <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/WebKit/Classes/WebView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001903">WebView</a>
190 class. This backend has full support for custom schemes and virtual file
193 @section async Asynchronous Notifications
195 Many of the methods in wxWebView are asynchronous, i.e. they return
196 immediately and perform their work in the background. This includes
197 functions such as LoadUrl() and Reload(). To receive notification of the
198 progress and completion of these functions you need to handle the events
199 that are provided. Specifically @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_LOADED notifies
200 when the page or a sub-frame has finished loading and
201 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_ERROR notifies that an error has occurred.
203 @section vfs Virtual File Systems and Custom Schemes
205 wxWebView supports the registering of custom scheme handlers, for example
206 @c file or @c http. To do this create a new class which inherits from
207 wxWebViewHandler, where wxWebHandler::GetFile() returns a pointer to a
208 wxFSFile which represents the given url. You can then register your handler
209 with RegisterHandler() it will be called for all pages and resources.
211 wxWebFileHandler is provided to allow the navigation of pages inside a zip
212 archive. It overrides the @c file scheme and provides support for the
213 standard @c file syntax as well as paths to archives of the form
214 @c file:///C:/example/docs.zip;protocol=zip/main.htm
216 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxWebViewEvent}
217 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATING(id, func)}
218 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATING event, generated before trying
219 to get a resource. This event may be vetoed to prevent navigating to this
220 resource. Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one
221 such event will be generated per frame.
222 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATED(id, func)}
223 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATED event generated after it was
224 confirmed that a resource would be requested. This event may not be vetoed.
225 Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one such event
226 will be generated per frame.
227 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_LOADED(id, func)}
228 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_LOADED event generated when the document
229 is fully loaded and displayed. Note that if the displayed HTML document has
230 several frames, one such event will be generated per frame.
231 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_ERROR(id, func)}
232 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_ERROR event generated when a navigation
234 The integer associated with this event will be a wxWebNavigationError item.
235 The string associated with this event may contain a backend-specific more
236 precise error message/code.
237 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_NEWWINDOW(id, func)}
238 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_NEWWINDOW event, generated when a new
239 window is created. You must handle this event if you want anything to
240 happen, for example to load the page in a new window or tab.
241 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_TITLE_CHANGED(id, func)}
242 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_TITLE_CHANGED event, generated when
243 the page title changes. Use GetString to get the title.
