Does wxWidgets provide a way to find out when user clicks a link in HTML view? Does it let you update the HTML content from code? Does it support JavaScript? :)

wxHTMLWindow does not support CSS or Javascript. Catching clicks is pretty easy:

SuperStrict
Framework wx.wxApp
Import wx.wxFrame
Import wx.wxHTMLWindow
Import wx.wxPanel
Import wx.wxButton
Import wx.wxMessageDialog

Type htmlTestFrame Extends wxFrame
	Field html:wxHtmlWindow
	Field topSizer:wxBoxSizer
	Method OnInit()
		Local ID:Int = 100
		html = New wxHtmlWindow.Create(Self, ID, 0, 0, 300, 100)
		html.LoadPage("test.html")
		
		TopSizer = New wxBoxSizer.Create(wxVERTICAL)

		TopSizer.Add(html, 0, wxALL | wxEXPAND, 0)
		TopSizer.SetSizeHints(Self)
		TopSizer.Fit(Self)
		
		Connect(ID, wxEVT_COMMAND_HTML_LINK_CLICKED, OnLinkClicked)
	EndMethod

	Function OnLinkClicked(event:wxEvent)
		wxMessageBox "Link clicked"
	EndFunction
EndType

Type htmlTestApp Extends wxApp
	Field frame:htmlTestFrame
	
	Method OnInit:Int()
		frame = htmlTestFrame(New htmlTestFrame.Create(Null, -1, 30, 30, 300, 100))
		SetTopWindow(frame)
		frame.Show()
		Return True
	EndMethod
EndType

New htmlTestApp.Run()

It is possible to update content but I believe Brucey is still working on that part of the interface. I owe him more testing on this very widget since I plan to use it in a project.

HTML tags can be intercepted and other wx controls added to the HTML display window. There is an example of this in the latest SVN snapshot: http://wxmax.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/wx.mod/samples/html/widget/widget.bmx
