 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
 160     javascript and css.
 161
 162     @section descriptions Backend Descriptions
 163
 164     @par wxWEB_VIEW_BACKEND_IE (MSW)
 165
 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.
 175
 176     @par wxWEB_VIEW_WEBKIT (GTK)
 177
 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
 184     data:// scheme.
 185
 186     @par wxWEB_VIEW_WEBKIT (OSX)
 187
 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
 191     systems.
 192
 193     @section async Asynchronous Notifications
 194
 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.
 202
 203     @section vfs Virtual File Systems and Custom Schemes
 204
 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.
 210
 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
 215
 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
 233        error occurs.
 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.

 599        Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATING event, generated before trying
 600        to get a resource. This event may be vetoed to prevent navigating to this
 601        resource. Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one
 602        such event will be generated per frame.
 603     @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATED(id, func)}
 604        Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_NAVIGATED event generated after it was
 605        confirmed that a resource would be requested. This event may not be vetoed.
 606        Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one such event
 607        will be generated per frame.
 608     @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_LOADED(id, func)}
 609        Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_LOADED event generated when the document
 610        is fully loaded and displayed. Note that if the displayed HTML document has
 611        several frames, one such event will be generated per frame.
 612     @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_ERROR(id, func)}
 613        Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_ERROR event generated when a navigation
 614        error occurs.
 615        The integer associated with this event will be a wxWebNavigationError item.
 616        The string associated with this event may contain a backend-specific more
 617        precise error message/code.
 618     @event{EVT_WEB_VIEW_NEWWINDOW(id, func)}
 619        Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_NEWWINDOW event, generated when a new
 620        window is created. You must handle this event if you want anything to
 621        happen, for example to load the page in a new window or tab.

 623        Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_WEB_VIEW_TITLE_CHANGED event, generated when
