@class wxWebView
This control may be used to render web (HTML / CSS / JavaScript) documents.
It is designed to allow the creation of multiple backends for each port.
It differs from wxHtmlWindow in that each backend is actually a full web
engine, provided by a 3rd party (e.g., WebView2 on MSW or WebKit on macOS and GTK).
This allows the correct viewing of complex pages with JavaScript and CSS.
@section backend_descriptions Backend Descriptions
This class supports using multiple backends, corresponding to different
implementations of the same functionality. wxWebViewChrome is available
on all three major platforms and each platform also has its own default
native backend. Backends are identified by their names, documented in
the backend descriptions below.
@subsection wxWEBVIEW_BACKEND_IE wxWEBVIEW_BACKEND_IE (MSW)
The IE backend uses Microsoft's
<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752085%28v=VS.85%29.aspx">WebBrowser</a>
control, which depends the locally installed version of Internet Explorer.
By default this backend emulates Internet Explorer 7. This can be
changed with a registry setting by wxWebViewIE::MSWSetEmulationLevel() see
<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330730%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#browser_emulation">
this</a> article for more information.
This backend has full support for custom schemes and virtual file systems.
The predefined @c wxWebViewBackendIE constant contains the name of this
backend and can be used to explicitly select it when using wxWebView::New().
@note If you plan to display any modern web content you should consider using @ref wxWEBVIEW_BACKEND_EDGE,
as Internet Explorer is not supported anymore by Microsoft.
@subsection wxWEBVIEW_BACKEND_EDGE wxWEBVIEW_BACKEND_EDGE (MSW)
The Edge backend uses Microsoft's
<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/hosting/webview2">Edge WebView2</a>.
It is available for Windows 7 (newer versions require Windows 10+) and newer.
This backend does not support custom schemes. When using handlers, see
wxWebViewHandler::SetVirtualHost() for more details on how to access
handler provided URLs.
This backend is enabled by default only when using CMake. To build it follow these steps:
- When not using CMake:
- Download the <a href="https://aka.ms/webviewnuget">WebView2 SDK</a>
NuGet package (Version 1.0.864.35 or newer)
- Extract the package (it's a zip archive) to @c WX_SRCDIR/3rdparty/webview2
(you should have @c 3rdparty/webview2/build/native/include/WebView2.h
file after unpacking it)
- Enable @c wxUSE_WEBVIEW_EDGE in @c setup.h
- When using CMake, the backend is enabled by default. It can be disabled by setting
@c wxUSE_WEBVIEW_EDGE to @c OFF. If a WebView2 SDK is found in @c WX_SRCDIR/3rdparty/webview2
(see the bullet above), that SDK is used. Otherwise, the SDK is downloaded and extracted
by CMake during the configure phase (into directory @c WX_BUILDDIR/libs/webview/packages)
- Build wxWidgets webview library
- From the WebView2 SDK @c build subdirectory copy @c WebView2Loader.dll corresponding
to the architecture used (x86 or x64) to the directory with your application executable
- At runtime you can use wxWebView::IsBackendAvailable() to check if the
backend can be used (it will be available if @c WebView2Loader.dll can be
loaded and Edge (Chromium) is installed)
- Make sure to add a note about using the WebView2 SDK to your application
documentation, as required by its licence
- With Visual Studio 2019 or newer @c wxUSE_WEBVIEW_EDGE_STATIC can be used
to static link the loader and remove the dependency on @c WebView2Loader.dll
at runtime.
If enabled and available at runtime, Edge will be selected as the default
backend. If you require the IE backend use @c wxWebViewBackendIE when
using wxWebView::New().
If your application should use a
<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/concepts/distribution#fixed-version-distribution-mode">
fixed version</a> of the WebView2 runtime you must use
wxWebViewEdge::MSWSetBrowserExecutableDir() to specify its usage before
using the Edge backend.
The predefined @c wxWebViewBackendEdge constant contains the name of this
backend.
@subsection wxWEBVIEW_WEBKIT wxWEBVIEW_WEBKIT (GTK)
Under GTK the WebKit backend uses
<a href="http://webkitgtk.org/">WebKitGTK+</a>. The current minimum version
required is 1.3.1 which ships by default with Ubuntu Natty and Debian
Wheezy and has the package name libwebkitgtk-dev.
Custom schemes and
virtual files systems are supported under this backend, however embedded
resources such as images and stylesheets are currently loaded using the
data:// scheme.
The predefined @c wxWebViewBackendWebKit constant contains the name of this
backend.
@subsection wxWEBVIEW_WEBKIT2 wxWEBVIEW_WEBKIT2 (GTK3)
Under GTK3 the WebKit2 version of <a href="http://webkitgtk.org/">WebKitGTK+</a>
is used. In Ubuntu the required package name is libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev
and under Fedora it is webkitgtk4-devel.
All features are
supported except for clearing and enabling / disabling the history.
The predefined @c wxWebViewBackendWebKit constant contains the name of this
backend.
@subsection wxWEBVIEW_WEBKIT_MACOS wxWEBVIEW_WEBKIT (macOS)
The macOS WebKit backend uses Apple's
<a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview">WKWebView</a>
class.
This backend has full support for custom schemes and virtual file
systems on macOS 10.13+. In order to use handlers, two-step creation has to be used
and RegisterHandler() has to be called before Create().
Starting with macOS 10.11 and iOS 9 an application cannot create unsecure
connections (this includes HTTP and unverified HTTPS). You have to include
additional fields in your Info.plist to enable such connections.
For further details see the documentation on NSAppTransportSecurity
<a target=_new href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nsapptransportsecurity">here</a>
The predefined @c wxWebViewBackendWebKit constant contains the name of this
backend.
@subsection wxWEBVIEW_CHROMIUM wxWEBVIEW_CHROMIUM (MSW, macOS, GTK)
The Chromium Embedded Framework backend has to be enabled when building wxWidgets,
see wxWebViewChromium for additional usage and build instructions.
The predefined @c wxWebViewBackendChromium constant contains the name of this
backend.
@section async Asynchronous Notifications
Many of the methods in wxWebView are asynchronous, i.e. they return
immediately and perform their work in the background. This includes
functions such as LoadURL() and Reload(). To receive notification of the
progress and completion of these functions you need to handle the events
that are provided. Specifically @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED notifies
when the page or a sub-frame has finished loading and
@c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR notifies that an error has occurred.
@section vfs Virtual File Systems and Custom Schemes
wxWebView supports the registering of custom scheme handlers, for example
@c file or @c http. To do this create a new class which inherits from
wxWebViewHandler, where wxWebViewHandler::GetFile() returns a pointer to a
wxFSFile which represents the given url or wxWebViewHandler::StartRequest() for
more complex requests. You can then register your handler
with RegisterHandler() it will be called for all pages and resources.
wxWebViewFSHandler is provided to access the virtual file system encapsulated by
wxFileSystem. The wxMemoryFSHandler documentation gives an example of how this
may be used.
wxWebViewArchiveHandler is provided to allow the navigation of pages inside a zip
archive. It supports paths of the form:
`scheme:///C:/example/docs.zip;protocol=zip/main.htm`
@beginEventEmissionTable{wxWebViewEvent}
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_CREATED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_CREATED event, generated when the object is
fully initialized. For the backends using asynchronous initialization,
such as wxWebViewChromium, most of this class member functions can be
only used once this event is received.
Available only in wxWidgets 3.3.0 or later.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATING(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATING event, generated before trying
to get a resource. This event may be vetoed to prevent navigating to this
resource. Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one
such event will be generated per frame.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATED event generated after it was
confirmed that a resource would be requested. This event may not be vetoed.
Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one such event
will be generated per frame.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED event generated when the document
is fully loaded and displayed. Note that if the displayed HTML document has
several frames, one such event will be generated per frame.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR event generated when a navigation
error occurs.
The integer associated with this event will be a wxWebNavigationError item.
The string associated with this event may contain a backend-specific more
precise error message/code.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW event, generated when a new
window is created. You must handle this event if you want anything to
happen, for example to load the page in a new window or tab. For usage
details see wxWebViewWindowFeatures.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW_FEATURES(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW_FEATURES event, generated when
window features are available for the new window. For usage
details see wxWebViewWindowFeatures.
Available only in wxWidgets 3.3.0 or later.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_WINDOW_CLOSE_REQUESTED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_WINDOW_CLOSE_REQUESTED event, generated when
a window is requested to be closed.
Available only in wxWidgets 3.3.0 or later.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_TITLE_CHANGED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_TITLE_CHANGED event, generated when
the page title changes. Use GetString to get the title.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_FULLSCREEN_CHANGED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_FULLSCREEN_CHANGED event, generated when
the page wants to enter or leave fullscreen. Use GetInt to get the status.
Not implemented for the IE backend.
Available only in wxWidgets 3.1.5 or later.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_SCRIPT_MESSAGE_RECEIVED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_SCRIPT_MESSAGE_RECEIVED event.
Available only in wxWidgets 3.1.5 or later. For usage details see
AddScriptMessageHandler().
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_SCRIPT_RESULT(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_SCRIPT_RESULT event.
Available only in wxWidgets 3.1.6 or later. For usage details see
RunScriptAsync().
@event{wxEVT_WEBVIEW_BROWSING_DATA_CLEARED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_BROWSING_DATA_CLEARED event
only available in wxWidgets 3.3.0 or later. For usage details see
ClearBrowsingData().

@note Because of various potential issues it's recommended to use

if you plan to run code from a webview event and will also prevent
unintended side effects on the UI outside of the webview.
JavaScript code is executed inside the browser control and has full
access to DOM and other browser-provided functionality. For example,
this code
@code
webview->RunScript("document.write('Hello from wxWidgets!')");
@endcode
will replace the current page contents with the provided string.
If @a output is non-null, it is filled with the result of executing
this code on success, e.g. a JavaScript value such as a string, a
number (integer or floating point), a boolean or JSON representation
for non-primitive types such as arrays and objects. For example:
@code
wxString result;

This function has a few platform-specific limitations:
- When using WebKit v1 in wxGTK2, retrieving the result of JavaScript
execution is unsupported and this function will always return false
if @a output is non-null to indicate this. This functionality is
fully supported when using WebKit v2 or later in wxGTK3.
- When using WebKit under macOS, code execution is limited to at most
10MiB of memory and 10 seconds of execution time.
- When using Chromium backend, retrieving the result of JavaScript
execution is unsupported and this function will always return false
if @a output is non-null to indicate this.
- When using IE backend under MSW, scripts can only be executed when
the current page is fully loaded (i.e. @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED event
was received). A script tag inside the page HTML is required in order
to run JavaScript.
Also notice that with the IE backend converting JavaScript objects to
JSON is not supported in the default emulation mode, it implements
its own object-to-JSON conversion as a fallback for this case, however it is
not as full-featured, well-tested or performing as the implementation
of this functionality in the browser control itself, so it is
recommended to use MSWSetEmulationLevel() to change emulation
level to a more modern one in which JSON conversion is done by the
control itself.

Sets emulation level.
This function is useful to change the emulation level of
the system browser control used for wxWebView implementation under
MSW, rather than using the currently default, IE7-compatible, level.
Please notice that this function works by modifying the per-user part
of MSW registry, which has several implications: first, it is
sufficient to call it only once (per user) as the changes done by it
are persistent and, second, if you do not want them to be persistent,
you need to call it with @c wxWEBVIEWIE_EMU_DEFAULT argument explicitly.
In particular, this function should be called to allow RunScript() to
work for JavaScript code returning arbitrary objects, which is not
supported at the default emulation level.
If set to a level higher than installed version, the highest available
level will be used instead. @c wxWEBVIEWIE_EMU_IE11 is recommended for
best performance and experience.
This function is MSW-specific and doesn't exist under other platforms.
See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330730#browser_emulation

@class wxWebViewEvent
A navigation event holds information about events associated with
wxWebView objects.
@beginEventEmissionTable{wxWebViewEvent}
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_CREATED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_CREATED event, generated when the object is
fully initialized. For the backends using asynchronous initialization,
such as wxWebViewChromium, most of this class member functions can be
only used once this event is received.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATING(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATING event, generated before trying
to get a resource. This event may be vetoed to prevent navigating to this
resource. Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one
such event will be generated per frame.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATED event generated after it was
confirmed that a resource would be requested. This event may not be vetoed.
Note that if the displayed HTML document has several frames, one such event
will be generated per frame.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED event generated when the document
is fully loaded and displayed. Note that if the displayed HTML document has
several frames, one such event will be generated per frame.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR event generated when a navigation
error occurs.
The integer associated with this event will be a #wxWebViewNavigationError item.
The string associated with this event may contain a backend-specific more
precise error message/code.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW event, generated when a new
window is created. You must handle this event if you want anything to
happen, for example to load the page in a new window or tab. For usage
details see wxWebViewWindowFeatures.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW_FEATURES(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW_FEATURES event, generated when
window features are available for the new window. For usage
details see wxWebViewWindowFeatures.
only available in wxWidgets 3.3.0 or later.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_WINDOW_CLOSE_REQUESTED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_WINDOW_CLOSE_REQUESTED event, generated when
a window is requested to be closed.
only available in wxWidgets 3.3.0 or later.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_TITLE_CHANGED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_TITLE_CHANGED event, generated when
the page title changes. Use GetString to get the title.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_FULLSCREEN_CHANGED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_FULLSCREEN_CHANGED event, generated when
the page wants to enter or leave fullscreen. Use GetInt to get the status.
Not implemented for the IE backend
and is only available in wxWidgets 3.1.5 or later.
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_SCRIPT_MESSAGE_RECEIVED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_SCRIPT_MESSAGE_RECEIVED event
only available in wxWidgets 3.1.5 or later. For usage details see
wxWebView::AddScriptMessageHandler().
@event{EVT_WEBVIEW_SCRIPT_RESULT(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_SCRIPT_RESULT event
only available in wxWidgets 3.1.6 or later. For usage details see
wxWebView::RunScriptAsync().
@event{wxEVT_WEBVIEW_BROWSING_DATA_CLEARED(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_WEBVIEW_BROWSING_DATA_CLEARED event
only available in wxWidgets 3.3.0 or later. For usage details see
wxWebView::ClearBrowsingData().
