wxWebView in wxHaskell


I'm trying to show a web page inside my wxHaskell based application for Mac. I tried to use HtmlWindow, which is very limited. According to the wxWidgets' documentation, I have to use wxWebView, which is capable to process CSS and JS.

From http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_html_window.html

If you want complete HTML/CSS support as well as a Javascript engine, see instead wxWebView.

Exactly what I need! Hoverer I didn't find any mentions of wxWebView in wxHaskell. And, also, which is miracle, Google is pretty silent about it. That makes me think, that I do something wrong. Is there any way to display reach (having HTML/CSS/JS) pages using wxHaskell? How do people do that?

I've got wxWidgets 3.0.2 installed from brew:

brew install wxwidgets

and wxHaskell 0.92 from cabal

cabal install wx
cabal install wxcore

Solution

  • wxWebView is not implemented in wxHaskell (yet); feel free to create a pull request to expand wxHaskell.

    B.t.w. if you ask questions at the wxhaskell-users mailing list, you probably get an answer sooner.
