NAME

dtRdr::HTMLWidget - Generic HTML widget interface

SYNOPSIS

  use dtRdr::HTMLWidget;

DESCRIPTION

Provides a browser-independent widget. Uses a platform-specific adapter (shim), or the basic WxHTML widget if that fails.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Constructor / Factory method.

Create and return a new HTML rendering widget.

Base classes may inherit this.

Calling classes should call this (do not call the base class constructor directly.)

  my @wx_args = (
    # from http://www.wxwindows.org/manuals/2.6.3/wx_wxhtmlwindow.html
    $parent, # wxWindow *parent,
    $id,     # wxWindowID id = -1,
    $pos,    # const wxPoint& pos = wxDefaultPosition,
    $size,   # const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize,
    $style,  # long style = wxHW_DEFAULT_STYLE,
    $name,   # const wxString& name = "htmlWindow"
    );
  $widget = dtRdr::HTMLWidget->new(\@wx_args, \%opts);

ASIDE: this is the old interface:

  $widget = dtRdr::HTMLWidget->new($parent, $id, $position, $size, $style)

Class Methods

base

Returns the base class of the widget. Subclass must override this.

  $widget->base;

Callback Methods

init

Initialization callback.

  $widget->init($parent, url_handler => $handler);

...Methods

render_HTML

Render the HTML in the widget.

  $bool = $widget->render_HTML($html, $data_handle);

$data_handle must respond to requests for related URIs. Note that the URIs may have a dotReader specific prefix, such as book:.

  $data_handle->get_member_string($relative_uri)

reset_wrap

Grabs the widget's internal state variables, runs $subref, and resets the state variables.

  $hw->reset_wrap($subref);

filter_HTML

  $html = $hw->filter_HTML($html, $datahandle);

allow_copy

  $widget->allow_copy($bool)

Enable or disable OS copy-to-clipboard functionality

These are the callbacks that the widget shims must implement. In all cases, registering a callback for a widget returns the previously registered callback, on the off-chance that your code's doing a temporary override of the callback.

register_get_file

  $old_callback = $widget->register_get_file(&callback)

  This is the function called when the widget needs to fetch a file
  that's embedded within a webpage. (This is for E<lt>imgE<gt> tag
  fetches and suchlike things)

load_in_progress

  $bool = $widget->load_in_progress;

Returns true if the widget is currently fetching information or working on rendering the HTML contents, false if it is not.

get_scroll_pos

  callback implement in html shim
  $position = $widget->get_cursor_pos();
  Returns the current vertical scroll bar position for the HTML widget

set_scroll_pos

  callback implement in html shim
  $widget->set_scroll_pos(200);

  Sets the current vertical scroll bar position for the HTML widget

scroll_page_down

  callback implement in html shim
  scroll_page_down();
  scrolls the browser widget down 1 page.
  equivilent to [Page Down]
  Returns 1 if successfull or 0 if it can't scroll

scroll_page_up

  scroll_page_up();
  scrolls the browser widget down 1 page.
  equivilent to [Page Up]
  Returns 1 if successfull or 0 if it can't scroll

  This is the callback that's called when the browser pane is about to
  change to a new page because someone clicked on a link.
