## 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.

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

  cell | The cell inside which the mouse was clicked, always a simple (i.e. non-container) cell
  x | The logical x coordinate of the click point
  y | The logical y coordinate of the click point
  event | The 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

  cell | The cell inside which the mouse is currently, always a simple (i.e. non-container) cell
  x | The logical x coordinate of the click point
  y | The 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

  type

  Indicates 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.

  url | URL being opened.
  redirect | Pointer 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`

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

Parameters

  cfg | wxConfig to which you want to save the configuration.
  path | Optional path in config tree. If not given, the current path is used.
