==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title| **wx.html2.WebView**
==========================================================================================================================================
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, although currently just one is available. It differs from :ref:`wx.html.HtmlWindow` in that each backend is actually a full rendering engine, Trident on MSW and Webkit on OSX and GTK. This allows the correct viewing complex pages with javascript and css.
|phoenix_title| Backend Descriptions
====================================
``WEBVIEW_BACKEND_IE`` (MSW)
----------------------------
The IE backend uses Microsoft's Trident rendering engine, specifically the version used by the locally installed copy of Internet Explorer. As such it is only available for the MSW port. By default recent versions of the
`WebBrowser <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752085%28v=VS.85%29.aspx>`_ control, which this backend uses, emulate Internet Explorer 7. This can be changed with a registry setting, see `this <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330730%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#browser_emulation>`_ article for more information. This backend has full support for custom schemes and virtual file systems.
``WEBVIEW_WEBKIT`` (GTK)
------------------------
Under GTK the WebKit backend uses
`WebKitGTK+ <http://webkitgtk.org/>`_. 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.
``WEBVIEW_WEBKIT`` (OSX)
------------------------
The OSX WebKit backend uses Apple's
`WebView <http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/WebKit/Classes/WebView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001903>`_ class. This backend has full support for custom schemes and virtual file systems.
|phoenix_title| Asynchronous Notifications
==========================================
Many of the methods in :ref:`wx.html2.WebView` are asynchronous, i.e. they return immediately and perform their work in the background. This includes functions such as :meth:`~wx.html2.WebView.LoadURL` and :meth:`~wx.html2.WebView.Reload`. To receive notification of the progress and completion of these functions you need to handle the events that are provided. Specifically ``wxEVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED`` notifies when the page or a sub-frame has finished loading and ``wxEVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR`` notifies that an error has occurred.
|phoenix_title| Virtual File Systems and Custom Schemes
=======================================================
:ref:`wx.html2.WebView` supports the registering of custom scheme handlers, for example ``file`` or ``http`` . To do this create a new class which inherits from :ref:`wx.html2.WebViewHandler`, where `WebHandler.GetFile()` returns a pointer to a :ref:`wx.FSFile` which represents the given url. You can then register your handler with :meth:`~wx.html2.WebView.RegisterHandler` it will be called for all pages and resources. :ref:`wx.html2.WebViewFSHandler` is provided to access the virtual file system encapsulated by :ref:`wx.FileSystem`. The :ref:`wx.MemoryFSHandler` documentation gives an example of how this may be used. :ref:`wx.html2.WebViewArchiveHandler` 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
.. _WebView-events:
|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================
Handlers bound for the following event types will receive one of the :ref:`wx.html2.WebViewEvent` parameters.
- EVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATING: Process a ``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.
- EVT_WEBVIEW_NAVIGATED: Process a ``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.
- EVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED: Process a ``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.
- EVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR: Process a ``wxEVT_WEBVIEW_ERROR`` event generated when a navigation error occurs. The integer associated with this event will be a WebNavigationError item. The string associated with this event may contain a backend-specific more precise error message/code.
- EVT_WEBVIEW_NEWWINDOW: Process a ``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.
- EVT_WEBVIEW_TITLE_CHANGED: Process a ``wxEVT_WEBVIEW_TITLE_CHANGED`` event, generated when the page title changes. Use GetString to get the title.

.. versionadded:: 2.9.5
.. note::
This function will restart the search if the flags ``WEBVIEW_FIND_ENTIRE_WORD`` or ``WEBVIEW_FIND_MATCH_CASE`` are changed, since this will require a new search.

.. method:: GetNativeBackend(self)
Return the pointer to the native backend used by this control.
This method can be used to retrieve the pointer to the native rendering engine used by this control. The return value needs to be down-casted to the appropriate type depending on the platform: under Windows, it's a pointer to IWebBrowser2 interface, under OS X it's a WebView pointer and under GTK it's a WebKitWebView.
For example, you could set the WebKit options using this method: ::
# In Python the value returned will be a sip wrapper around a void* type,
# and it can be converted to the address being pointed to with int().
webview_ptr = self.webview.GetNativeBackend()
# Assuming you are able to get a ctypes, cffi or similar access to the
# webview library, you can use that pointer value to give it access to the
# WebView backend to operate upon.
theWebViewLib.doSomething(int(webview_ptr))
.. versionadded:: 2.9.5
