\subsection{wxHTML quick start}\label{wxhtmlquickstart}
\wxheading{Displaying HTML}
First of all, you must include .
Class \helpref{wxHtmlWindow}{wxhtmlwindow} (derived from wxScrolledWindow)
is used to display HTML documents.
It has two important methods: \helpref{LoadPage}{wxhtmlwindowloadpage}
and \helpref{SetPage}{wxhtmlwindowsetpage}.
LoadPage loads and displays HTML file while SetPage displays directly the
passed {\bf string}. See the example:
\begin{verbatim}
mywin -> LoadPage("test.htm");
mywin -> SetPage(""
"Error
"
"Some error occurred :-H)"
"");
\end{verbatim}
I think the difference is quite clear.
\wxheading{Displaying Help}
See \helpref{wxHtmlHelpController}{wxhtmlhelpcontroller}.
\wxheading{Setting up wxHtmlWindow}
Because wxHtmlWindow is derived from wxScrolledWindow and not from
wxFrame, it doesn't have visible frame. But the user usually wants to see
the title of HTML page displayed somewhere and the frame's titlebar is
the ideal place for it.
wxHtmlWindow provides 2 methods in order to handle this:
\helpref{SetRelatedFrame}{wxhtmlwindowsetrelatedframe} and
\helpref{SetRelatedStatusBar}{wxhtmlwindowsetrelatedstatusbar}.
See the example:
\begin{verbatim}
html = new wxHtmlWindow(this);
html -> SetRelatedFrame(this, "HTML : %%s");
html -> SetRelatedStatusBar(0);
\end{verbatim}
The first command associates the HTML object with its parent frame
(this points to wxFrame object there) and sets the format of the title.
Page title "Hello, world!" will be displayed as "HTML : Hello, world!"
in this example.
The second command sets which frame's status bar should be used to display
browser's messages (such as "Loading..." or "Done" or hypertext links).
\wxheading{Customizing wxHtmlWindow}
You can customize wxHtmlWindow by setting font size, font face and
borders (space between border of window and displayed HTML). Related functions:
\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item \helpref{SetFonts}{wxhtmlwindowsetfonts}
\item \helpref{SetBorders}{wxhtmlwindowsetborders}
\item \helpref{ReadCustomization}{wxhtmlwindowreadcustomization}
\item \helpref{WriteCustomization}{wxhtmlwindowwritecustomization}
\end{itemize}
The last two functions are used to store user customization info wxConfig stuff
(for example in the registry under Windows, or in a dotfile under Unix).
