wxHtmlWindow

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 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) or LoadPage(filename).

Derived from

wxScrolledWindow

wxHtmlWindow::wxHtmlWindow

wxHtmlWindow()

Default constructor.

wxHtmlWindow(wxWindow *parent, wxWindowID id = -1, const wxPoint& pos = wxDefaultPosition, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize, long style = wxHW_SCROLLBAR_AUTO, const wxString& name = "htmlWindow")

Constructor. The parameters are the same as for the wxScrolledWindow constructor.

Parameters

style


wxHtmlWindow::AddFilter

static void AddFilter(wxHtmlFilter *filter)

Adds input filter to the static list of available filters. These filters are present by default:


wxHtmlWindow::GetInternalRepresentation

wxHtmlContainerCell* GetInternalRepresentation() const

Returns pointer to the top-level container.

See also: Cells Overview, Printing Overview


wxHtmlWindow::GetOpenedAnchor

wxString GetOpenedAnchor()

Returns anchor within currently opened page (see GetOpenedPage). If no page is opened or if the displayed page wasn't produced by call to LoadPage, empty string is returned.


wxHtmlWindow::GetOpenedPage

wxString GetOpenedPage()

Returns full location of the opened page. If no page is opened or if the displayed page wasn't produced by call to LoadPage, empty string is returned.


wxHtmlWindow::GetOpenedPageTitle

wxString GetOpenedPageTitle()

Returns title of the opened page or wxEmptyString if current page does not contain <TITLE> tag.


wxHtmlWindow::GetRelatedFrame

wxFrame* GetRelatedFrame() const

Returns the related frame.


wxHtmlWindow::HistoryBack

bool HistoryBack()

Moves back to the previous page. (each page displayed using LoadPage is stored in history list.)


wxHtmlWindow::HistoryClear

void HistoryClear()

Clears history.


wxHtmlWindow::HistoryForward

bool HistoryForward()

Moves to next page in history.


wxHtmlWindow::LoadPage

bool LoadPage(const wxString& location)

Unlike SetPage this function first loads HTML page from location and then displays it. See example:

htmlwin -> SetPage("help/myproject/index.htm");
Parameters

location

Return value

FALSE if an error occurred, TRUE otherwise


wxHtmlWindow::OnLinkClicked

virtual void OnLinkClicked(const wxHtmlLinkInfo& link)

Called when user clicks on hypertext link. Default behaviour is to call LoadPage and do nothing else.

Also see wxHtmlLinkInfo.


wxHtmlWindow::OnSetTitle

virtual void OnSetTitle(const wxString& title)

Called on parsing <TITLE> tag.


wxHtmlWindow::ReadCustomization

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

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

cfg

path


wxHtmlWindow::SetBorders

void SetBorders(int b)

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

Parameters

b


wxHtmlWindow::SetFonts

void SetFonts(wxString normal_face, wxString fixed_face, const int *sizes)

This function sets font sizes and faces.

Parameters

normal_face

fixed_face

sizes

Defaults

Under wxGTK:

    SetFonts("", "", {10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 24, 32});
Under Windows:

    SetFonts("", "", {7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 22, 30});
Athough it seems different the fact is that the fonts are of approximately same size under both platforms (due to wxMSW / wxGTK inconsistency)


wxHtmlWindow::SetPage

bool SetPage(const wxString& source)

Sets HTML page and display it. This won't load the page!! It will display the source. See example:

htmlwin -> SetPage("<html><body>Hello, world!</body></html>");
If you want to load a document from some location use LoadPage instead.

Parameters

source

Return value

FALSE if an error occurred, TRUE otherwise.


wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedFrame

void SetRelatedFrame(wxFrame* frame, const wxString& format)

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


wxHtmlWindow::SetRelatedStatusBar

void SetRelatedStatusBar(int bar)

After calling SetRelatedFrame, this sets statusbar slot where messages will be displayed. (Default is -1 = no messages.)

Parameters

bar


wxHtmlWindow::WriteCustomization

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

Saves custom settings into wxConfig. 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

cfg

path
