-spec enableContextMenu(This) -> ok when This :: wxWebView().

Equivalent to enableContextMenu(This, []).

-spec enableContextMenu(This, [Option]) -> ok when This :: wxWebView(), Option :: {enable, boolean()}.

Enable or disable the right click context menu.

By default the standard context menu is enabled, this method can be used to disable it or re-enable it later.

Since: 2.9.5

-spec enableHistory(This) -> ok when This :: wxWebView().

Equivalent to enableHistory(This, []).

-spec enableHistory(This, [Option]) -> ok when This :: wxWebView(), Option :: {enable, boolean()}.

Equivalent to find(This, Text, []).

-spec find(This, Text, [Option]) -> integer()
              when This :: wxWebView(), Text :: unicode:chardata(), Option :: {flags, wx:wx_enum()}.

Finds a phrase on the current page and if found, the control will scroll the phrase into view and select it.

Return: If search phrase was not found in combination with the flags then wxNOT_FOUND is returned. If called for the first time with search phrase then the total number of results will be returned. Then for every time its called with the same search phrase it will return the number of the current match.

Note: This function will restart the search if the flags wxWEBVIEW_FIND_ENTIRE_WORD or wxWEBVIEW_FIND_MATCH_CASE are changed, since this will require a new search. To reset the search, for example resetting the highlights call the function with an empty search phrase. This always returns wxNOT_FOUND on the macOS WebKit backend.

Since: 2.9.5

-spec runScript(This, Javascript) -> Result
                   when
                       Result :: {Res :: boolean(), Output :: unicode:charlist()},
                       This :: wxWebView(),
                       Javascript :: unicode:chardata().

Runs the given JavaScript code.

JavaScript code is executed inside the browser control and has full access to DOM and other browser-provided functionality. For example, this code will replace the current page contents with the provided string.

If 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:

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 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 IE backend under MSW, scripts can only be executed when the current page is fully loaded (i.e. wxEVT_WEBVIEW_LOADED event was received). A script tag inside the page HTML is required in order to run JavaScript.

Also notice that under MSW converting JavaScript objects to JSON is not supported in the default emulation mode. wxWebView 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.

Return: true if there is a result, false if there is an error.

-spec selectAll(This) -> ok when This :: wxWebView().

Selects the entire page.

-spec setEditable(This) -> ok when This :: wxWebView().

Equivalent to setEditable(This, []).

-spec setEditable(This, [Option]) -> ok when This :: wxWebView(), Option :: {enable, boolean()}.

Enabling allows the user to edit the page even if the contenteditable attribute is not set. The exact capabilities vary with the backend being used.

-spec setPage(This, Html, BaseUrl) -> ok
                 when This :: wxWebView(), Html :: unicode:chardata(), BaseUrl :: unicode:chardata().

Note: When using wxWEBVIEW_BACKEND_IE you must wait for the current page to finish loading before calling setPage/3. The baseURL parameter is not used in this backend and the edge backend.

-spec setZoom(This, Zoom) -> ok when This :: wxWebView(), Zoom :: wx:wx_enum().

See setZoomFactor/2 for more precise scaling other than the measured steps provided by wxWebViewZoom.

-spec setZoomFactor(This, Zoom) -> ok when This :: wxWebView(), Zoom :: number().
