wxHtmlWindow is probably the only class you will directly use unless you want
to do something special (like adding new tag handlers or MIME filters).
- The purpose of this class is to display HTML pages (either local file or
- downloaded via HTTP protocol) in a window.
+ The purpose of this class is to display rich content pages (either local file or
+ downloaded via HTTP protocol) in a window based on a subset of the HTML standard.
The width of the window is constant - given in the constructor - and virtual height
is changed dynamically depending on page size.
- Once the window is created you can set its content by calling SetPage(text),
- LoadPage(filename) or wxHtmlWindow::LoadFile.
+ Once the window is created you can set its content by calling SetPage() with raw HTML,
+ LoadPage() with a wxFileSystem location or LoadFile() with a filename.
@note
- wxHtmlWindow uses the wxImage class for displaying images.
- Don't forget to initialize all image formats you need before loading any page!
- (See ::wxInitAllImageHandlers and wxImage::AddHandler.)
+ If you want complete HTML/CSS support as well as a Javascript engine, see instead
+ wxWebView.
+
+ @note
+ wxHtmlWindow uses the wxImage class for displaying images, as such you need to
+ initialize the handlers for any image formats you use before loading a page.
+ See ::wxInitAllImageHandlers and wxImage::AddHandler.
