+ Inheritance diagram for wxHtmlWindow:

Detailed Description

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 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() with raw HTML, LoadPage() with a wxFileSystem location or LoadFile() with a filename.

Note
If you want complete HTML/CSS support as well as a Javascript engine, see instead wxWebView.
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.

Styles

This class supports the following styles:

  • wxHW_SCROLLBAR_NEVER:
    Never display scrollbars, not even when the page is larger than the window.
  • wxHW_SCROLLBAR_AUTO:
    Display scrollbars only if page's size exceeds window's size.
  • wxHW_NO_SELECTION:
    Don't allow the user to select text.

Events emitted by this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxHtmlCellEvent& event) or void handlerFuncName( wxHtmlLinkEvent& event)

Event macros for events emitted by this class:

  • EVT_HTML_CELL_CLICKED(id, func):
    A wxHtmlCell was clicked.
  • EVT_HTML_CELL_HOVER(id, func):
    The mouse passed over a wxHtmlCell.
  • EVT_HTML_LINK_CLICKED(id, func):
    A wxHtmlCell which contains an hyperlink was clicked.

LoadFile()
virtual bool wxHtmlWindow::OnCellClicked ( wxHtmlCell cell,
wxCoord  x,
wxCoord  y,
const wxMouseEvent event 
)
protectedvirtual

This method is called when a mouse button is clicked inside wxHtmlWindow.

The default behaviour is to emit a wxHtmlCellEvent and, if the event was not processed or skipped, call OnLinkClicked() if the cell contains an hypertext link.

Overloading this method is deprecated; intercept the event instead.

Parameters
cellThe cell inside which the mouse was clicked, always a simple (i.e. non-container) cell
xThe logical x coordinate of the click point
yThe logical y coordinate of the click point
eventThe mouse event containing other information about the click
Returns
true if a link was clicked, false otherwise.
virtual void wxHtmlWindow::OnCellMouseHover ( wxHtmlCell cell,
wxCoord  x,
wxCoord  y 
)
protectedvirtual

This method is called when a mouse moves over an HTML cell.

Default behaviour is to emit a wxHtmlCellEvent.

Overloading this method is deprecated; intercept the event instead.

Parameters
cellThe cell inside which the mouse is currently, always a simple (i.e. non-container) cell
xThe logical x coordinate of the click point
yThe logical y coordinate of the click point
virtual void wxHtmlWindow::OnLinkClicked ( const wxHtmlLinkInfo link)
virtual

Called when user clicks on hypertext link.

Default behaviour is to emit a wxHtmlLinkEvent and, if the event was not processed or skipped, call LoadPage() and do nothing else.

Overloading this method is deprecated; intercept the event instead.

Also see wxHtmlLinkInfo.

virtual wxHtmlOpeningStatus wxHtmlWindow::OnOpeningURL ( wxHtmlURLType  type,
const wxString url,
wxString redirect 
) const
virtual

Called when an URL is being opened (either when the user clicks on a link or an image is loaded).

The URL will be opened only if OnOpeningURL() returns wxHTML_OPEN. This method is called by wxHtmlParser::OpenURL.

You can override OnOpeningURL() to selectively block some URLs (e.g. for security reasons) or to redirect them elsewhere. Default behaviour is to always return wxHTML_OPEN.

Parameters
typeIndicates type of the resource. Is one of
  • wxHTML_URL_PAGE: Opening a HTML page.
  • wxHTML_URL_IMAGE: Opening an image.
  • wxHTML_URL_OTHER: Opening a resource that doesn't fall into any other category.
urlURL being opened.
redirectPointer to wxString variable that must be filled with an URL if OnOpeningURL() returns wxHTML_REDIRECT.

The return value is:

  • wxHTML_OPEN: Open the URL.
  • wxHTML_BLOCK: Deny access to the URL, wxHtmlParser::OpenURL will return NULL.
  • wxHTML_REDIRECT: Don't open url, redirect to another URL. OnOpeningURL() must fill *redirect with the new URL. OnOpeningURL() will be called again on returned URL.
virtual void wxHtmlWindow::OnSetTitle ( const wxString title)
virtual

Called on parsing <TITLE> tag.

virtual void wxHtmlWindow::ReadCustomization ( wxConfigBase cfg,
wxString  path = wxEmptyString 
)
virtual

This reads custom settings from wxConfig.

It uses the path 'path' if given, otherwise it saves info into currently selected path. The values are stored in sub-path wxHtmlWindow. Read values: all things set by SetFonts(), SetBorders().

Parameters
cfgwxConfig from which you want to read the configuration.
pathOptional path in config tree. If not given current path is used.
void wxHtmlWindow::SelectAll ( )

Selects all text in the window.

See also
SelectLine(), SelectWord()
wxString wxHtmlWindow::SelectionToText ( )

Returns the current selection as plain text.

Returns an empty string if no text is currently selected.

void wxHtmlWindow::SelectLine ( const wxPoint pos)

Selects the line of text that pos points at.

Note that pos is relative to the top of displayed page, not to window's origin, use wxScrolled::CalcUnscrolledPosition() to convert physical coordinate.

See also
SelectAll(), SelectWord()
void wxHtmlWindow::SelectWord ( const wxPoint pos)

Selects the word at position pos.

Note that pos is relative to the top of displayed page, not to window's origin, use wxScrolled::CalcUnscrolledPosition() to convert physical coordinate.

SelectAll(), SelectLine()
void wxHtmlWindow::SetBorders ( int  b)

This function sets the space between border of window and HTML contents.

See image:

htmlwin_border.png
Parameters
bindentation from borders in pixels
void wxHtmlWindow::SetFonts ( const wxString normal_face,
const wxString fixed_face,
const int *  sizes = NULL 
)

This function sets font sizes and faces.

See also
SetSize()
virtual bool wxHtmlWindow::SetPage ( const wxString source)
virtual

Sets the source of a page and displays it, for example:

If you want to load a document from some location use LoadPage() instead.

Parameters
sourceThe HTML to be displayed.
Returns
false if an error occurred, true otherwise.
void wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedFrame ( wxFrame frame,
const wxString format 
)

Sets the frame in which page title will be displayed.

format is the format of the frame title, e.g. "HtmlHelp : %s". It must contain exactly one s. This s is substituted with HTML page title.

void wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedStatusBar ( int  index)

After calling SetRelatedFrame(), this sets statusbar slot where messages will be displayed.

(Default is -1 = no messages.)

Parameters
indexStatusbar slot number (0..n)
void wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedStatusBar ( wxStatusBar statusbar,
int  index = 0 
)

Sets the associated statusbar where messages will be displayed.

Call this instead of SetRelatedFrame() if you want statusbar updates only, no changing of the frame title.

Parameters
statusbarStatusbar pointer
indexStatusbar slot number (0..n)
Since
2.9.0
void wxHtmlWindow::SetStandardFonts ( int  size = -1,
const wxString normal_face = wxEmptyString,

virtual void wxHtmlWindow::WriteCustomization ( wxConfigBase cfg,
wxString  path = wxEmptyString 
)
virtual

It uses the path 'path' if given, otherwise it saves info into currently selected path. Regardless of whether the path is given or not, the function creates sub-path wxHtmlWindow.

Saved values: all things set by SetFonts(), SetBorders().

Parameters
cfgwxConfig to which you want to save the configuration.
pathOptional path in config tree. If not given, the current path is used.
