Functions for wxHtmlWindow class

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/2 with raw HTML, loadPage/2 with a wxFileSystem (not implemented 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 implemented 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
