Constructor Detail

Browser

public Browser(Composite parent,
       int style)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

parent - a widget which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)

style - the style of widget to construct

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent

SWTError -

• ERROR_NO_HANDLES if a handle could not be obtained for browser creation

Since:

3.0

Method Detail

checkParent

static Composite checkParent(Composite parent)

checkStyle

static int checkStyle(int style)

checkWidget

protected void checkWidget()

Description copied from class: Widget

Throws an SWTException if the receiver can not be accessed by the caller. This may include both checks on the state of the receiver and more generally on the entire execution context. This method should be called by widget implementors to enforce the standard SWT invariants.

Currently, it is an error to invoke any method (other than isDisposed()) on a widget that has had its dispose() method called. It is also an error to call widget methods from any thread that is different from the thread that created the widget.

In future releases of SWT, there may be more or fewer error checks and exceptions may be thrown for different reasons.

Overrides:

checkWidget in class Widget

forward()

checkSubclass

protected void checkSubclass()

Description copied from class: Widget

Checks that this class can be subclassed.

The SWT class library is intended to be subclassed only at specific, controlled points (most notably, Composite and Canvas when implementing new widgets). This method enforces this rule unless it is overridden.

IMPORTANT: By providing an implementation of this method that allows a subclass of a class which does not normally allow subclassing to be created, the implementer agrees to be fully responsible for the fact that any such subclass will likely fail between SWT releases and will be strongly platform specific. No support is provided for user-written classes which are implemented in this fashion.

The ability to subclass outside of the allowed SWT classes is intended purely to enable those not on the SWT development team to implement patches in order to get around specific limitations in advance of when those limitations can be addressed by the team. Subclassing should not be attempted without an intimate and detailed understanding of the hierarchy.

Overrides:

checkSubclass in class Composite

execute

public boolean execute(java.lang.String script)

Executes the specified script.

Executes a script containing javascript commands in the context of the current document. If document-defined functions or properties are accessed by the script then this method should not be invoked until the document has finished loading (ProgressListener.completed() gives notification of this).

Parameters:

script - the script with javascript commands

Returns:

true if the operation was successful and false otherwise

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the script is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS when called from the wrong thread
• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED when the widget has been disposed

Since:

3.1

See Also:

ProgressListener.completed(ProgressEvent)

close

public boolean close()

Attempts to dispose the receiver, but allows the dispose to be vetoed by the user in response to an onbeforeunload listener in the Browser's current page.

Returns:

true if the receiver was disposed, and false otherwise

Throws:

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

Since:

3.6

See Also:

Widget.dispose()

evaluate

public java.lang.Object evaluate(java.lang.String script)
                          throws SWTException

Returns the result, if any, of executing the specified script.

Evaluates a script containing javascript commands in the context of the current document. If document-defined functions or properties are accessed by the script then this method should not be invoked until the document has finished loading (ProgressListener.completed() gives notification of this).

If the script returns a value with a supported type then a java representation of the value is returned. The supported javascript -> java mappings are:

• javascript null or undefined -> null
• javascript number -> java.lang.Double
• javascript string -> java.lang.String
• javascript boolean -> java.lang.Boolean
• javascript array whose elements are all of supported types -> java.lang.Object[]

An SWTException is thrown if the return value has an unsupported type, or if evaluating the script causes a javascript error to be thrown.

Parameters:

script - the script with javascript commands

Returns:

the return value, if any, of executing the script

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the script is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_FAILED_EVALUATE when the script evaluation causes a javascript error to be thrown
• ERROR_INVALID_RETURN_VALUE when the script returns a value of unsupported type

setText

public boolean setText(java.lang.String html)

Renders a string containing HTML. The rendering of the content occurs asynchronously. The rendered page will be given trusted permissions; to render the page with untrusted permissions use setText(String html, boolean trusted) instead.

The html parameter is Unicode-encoded since it is a java String. As a result, the HTML meta tag charset should not be set. The charset is implied by the String itself.

Parameters:

html - the HTML content to be rendered

Returns:

true if the operation was successful and false otherwise.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the html is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS when called from the wrong thread
• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED when the widget has been disposed

Since:

3.0

See Also:

setText(String,boolean), setUrl(java.lang.String)

setText

public boolean setText(java.lang.String html,
              boolean trusted)

Renders a string containing HTML. The rendering of the content occurs asynchronously. The rendered page can be given either trusted or untrusted permissions.

The html parameter is Unicode-encoded since it is a java String. As a result, the HTML meta tag charset should not be set. The charset is implied by the String itself.

The trusted parameter affects the permissions that will be granted to the rendered page. Specifying true for trusted gives the page permissions equivalent to a page on the local file system, while specifying false for trusted gives the page permissions equivalent to a page from the internet. Page content should be specified as trusted if the invoker created it or trusts its source, since this would allow (for instance) style sheets on the local file system to be referenced.
