wxHtmlWindow(3)            Erlang Module Definition            wxHtmlWindow(3)



NAME
       wxHtmlWindow - Functions for wxHtmlWindow class

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 sub-
       set 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 call-
       ing setPage/2 with raw HTML, loadPage/2 with a wxFileSystem (not imple-
       mented in wx) location or loadFile/2 with a filename.

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

       wxHtmlWindow uses the wxImage class for displaying images, so you  need
       to initialize the handlers for any image formats you use before loading
       a page. See ?wxInitAllImageHandlers and wxImage::AddHandler (not imple-
       mented in wx).

       Styles

       This class supports the following styles:

       See: wxHtmlLinkEvent, wxHtmlCellEvent (not implemented in wx)

       This  class  is  derived (and can use functions) from: wxScrolledWindow
       wxPanel wxWindow wxEvtHandler

       wxWidgets docs: wxHtmlWindow

EVENTS
       Event   types   emitted    from    this    class:    html_cell_clicked,
       html_cell_hover, command_html_link_clicked

              list.

       historyCanBack(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()

              Moves to next page in history.

              Only pages displayed using  loadPage/2  are  stored  in  history
              list.

       loadFile(This, Filename) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 Filename = unicode:chardata()

       loadPage(This, Location) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 Location = unicode:chardata()

              Unlike  setPage/2  this  function first loads the HTML page from
              location and then displays it.

              Return: false if an error occurred, true otherwise

              See: loadFile/2

       selectAll(This) -> ok

              Types:

              See: selectLine/2, selectWord/2

       selectionToText(This) -> unicode:charlist()

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()

              Returns the current selection as plain text.

              Returns an empty string if no text is currently selected.

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 Pos = {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}

              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 wxScrolledWindow:calcUnscrolledPosition/3
              to convert physical coordinate.

              See: selectAll/1, selectWord/2

       selectWord(This, Pos) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 Pos = {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}

              Selects the word at position pos.

              Note that pos is relative to the top of displayed page,  not  to
              window's  origin,  use wxScrolledWindow:calcUnscrolledPosition/3
              to convert physical coordinate.

              See: selectAll/1, selectLine/2

       setBorders(This, B) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 B = integer()

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

              See image:

       setFonts(This, Normal_face, Fixed_face) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 Normal_face = Fixed_face = unicode:chardata()

       setFonts(This, Normal_face, Fixed_face, Options :: [Option]) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 Normal_face = Fixed_face = unicode:chardata()
                 Option = {sizes, [integer()]}

              This function sets font sizes and faces.

              See  wxHtmlDCRenderer::SetFonts  (not  implemented  in  wx)  for
              detailed description.

              See: SetSize()

       setPage(This, Source) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 Source = unicode:chardata()

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

              If you want to load a document from some location use loadPage/2
              instead.

              Return: false if an error occurred, true otherwise.

       setRelatedFrame(This, Frame, Format) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 Frame = wxFrame:wxFrame()
                 Format = unicode:chardata()

              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.

       setRelatedStatusBar(This, Statusbar) -> ok

       setRelatedStatusBar(This, Index) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 Index = integer()

              After  calling setRelatedFrame/3, this sets statusbar slot where
              messages will be displayed.

              (Default is -1 = no messages.)

       setRelatedStatusBar(This, Statusbar, Options :: [Option]) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()
                 Statusbar = wxStatusBar:wxStatusBar()
                 Option = {index, integer()}

              Sets the associated statusbar where messages will be displayed.

              Call this instead of setRelatedFrame/3  if  you  want  statusbar
              updates only, no changing of the frame title.

              Since: 2.9.0

       toText(This) -> unicode:charlist()

              Types:

                 This = wxHtmlWindow()

              Returns content of currently displayed page as plain text.

       destroy(This :: wxHtmlWindow()) -> ok

              Destroys the object.
