CwWebView
Description
CwWebView is the common widget that bi-directionally control web page views in VAST applications using Microsoft Edge® and Smalltalk.
Responsibility
CwWebView depends on the platform-specific widget, OSWebViewEdge, and
an image-wide WebView environment <CwWebViewEnvironmentOption>.
The WebView environment is automatically set to a useful state on image startup. No further actions are required unless the user's web view application requires a customized state.
CwWebView receives callbacks from OSWebViewEdge when certain events happen. Data included in the callback structure helps inform what actions can be taken in response to the events. The user can register interest in any of the callbacks:
  • xmNnewWindowRequestedCallback
  • xmNwindowCloseRequestedCallback
  • xmNnavigationCompletedCallback
  • xmNnavigationStartingCallback
  • xmNdomContentLoadedCallback
  • xmNsourceChangedCallback
  • xmNdocumentTitleChangedCallback
The WebViewSupport feature uses a pool dictionary called WebViewConstants to provide pool variables for constant values. For example, pool variables such as XmNnavigationCompletedCallback are used as arguments to CwWebView methods. These pool variable names should be used rather than directly using their constant values. All classes that require these WebViewConstants variable names must include the WebViewConstants pool dictionary in their class definition.
