115 A simple class that contains the URL and title of an element of the history
124 class wxWebViewHistoryItem
130 wxWebViewHistoryItem(const wxString
& url
, const wxString
& title
);
133 @return The url of the page.
138 @return The title of the page.
144 @class wxWebViewHandler
146 The base class for handling custom schemes in wxWebView, for example to
147 allow virtual file system support.
155 class wxWebViewHandler
159 Constructor. Takes the name of the scheme that will be handled by this
160 class for example @c file or @c zip.
162 wxWebViewHandler(const wxString
& scheme
);
165 @return A pointer to the file represented by @c uri.
167 virtual wxFSFile

170 @return The name of the scheme, as passed to the constructor.

178 This control may be used to render web (HTML / CSS / javascript) documents.
179 It is designed to allow the creation of multiple backends for each port,
180 although currently just one is available. It differs from wxHtmlWindow in
181 that each backend is actually a full rendering engine, Trident on MSW and
182 Webkit on OSX and GTK. This allows the correct viewing complex pages with
185 @section descriptions Backend Descriptions
187 @par wxWEB_VIEW_BACKEND_IE (MSW)
189 The IE backend uses Microsoft's Trident rendering engine, specifically the
190 version used by the locally installed copy of Internet Explorer. As such it
191 is only available for the MSW port. By default recent versions of the
192 <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752085%28v=VS.85%29.aspx">WebBrowser</a>
193 control, which this backend uses, emulate Internet Explorer 7. This can be
194 changed with a registry setting, see
195 <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330730%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#browser_emulation">
196 this</a> article for more information. This backend has full support for
197 custom schemes and virtual file systems.
199 @par wxWEB_VIEW_WEBKIT (GTK)
201 Under GTK the WebKit backend uses
202 <a href="http://webkitgtk.org/">WebKitGTK+</a>. The current minimum version
203 required is 1.3.1 which ships by default with Ubuntu Natty and Debian
204 Wheezy and has the package name libwebkitgtk-dev. Custom schemes and
205 virtual files systems are supported under this backend, however embedded
206 resources such as images and stylesheets are currently loaded using the
209 @par wxWEB_VIEW_WEBKIT (OSX)
211 The OSX WebKit backend uses Apple's
212 <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>
213 class. This backend has full support for custom schemes and virtual file
216 @section async Asynchronous Notifications
218 Many of the methods in wxWebView are asynchronous, i.e. they return
219 immediately and perform their work in the background. This includes
220 functions such as LoadUrl() and Reload(). To receive notification of the
221 progress and completion of these functions you need to handle the events
222 that are provided. Specifically @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_LOADED notifies
223 when the page or a sub-frame has finished loading and
224 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_ERROR notifies that an error has occurred.
226 @section vfs Virtual File Systems and Custom Schemes
228 wxWebView supports the registering of custom scheme handlers, for example
229 @c file or @c http. To do this create a new class which inherits from
230 wxWebViewHandler, where wxWebHandler::GetFile() returns a pointer to a
231 wxFSFile which represents the given url. You can then register your handler
232 with RegisterHandler() it will be called for all pages and resources.
234 wxWebFileHandler is provided to allow the navigation of pages inside a zip
235 archive. It overrides the @c file scheme and provides support for the
236 standard @c file syntax as well as paths to archives of the form
237 @c file:///C:/example/docs.zip;protocol=zip/main.htm
239 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxWebViewEvent}
240 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATING(id, func)}
241 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATING event, generated before trying
242 to get a resource. This event may be vetoed to prevent navigating to this
243 resource. Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one
244 such event will be generated per frame.
245 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATED(id, func)}
246 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATED event generated after it was
247 confirmed that a resource would be requested. This event may not be vetoed.
248 Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one such event
249 will be generated per frame.
250 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_LOADED(id, func)}
251 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_LOADED event generated when the document
252 is fully loaded and displayed. Note that if the displayed HTML document has
253 several frames, one such event will be generated per frame.
254 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_ERROR(id, func)}
255 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_ERROR event generated when a navigation
257 The integer associated with this event will be a wxWebNavigationError item.
258 The string associated with this event may contain a backend-specific more
259 precise error message/code.
260 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_NEWWINDOW(id, func)}
261 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_NEWWINDOW event, generated when a new
262 window is created. You must handle this event if you want anything to
263 happen, for example to load the page in a new window or tab.
264 @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_TITLE_CHANGED(id, func)}
265 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_TITLE_CHANGED event, generated when
266 the page title changes. Use GetString to get the title.
