webkit_web_view_new ()

GtkWidget *
webkit_web_view_new (void);

Creates a new WebKitWebView with the default WebKitWebContext and no WebKitUserContentManager associated with it. See also webkit_web_view_new_with_context(), webkit_web_view_new_with_user_content_manager(), and webkit_web_view_new_with_settings().

webkit_web_view_new_with_context ()

GtkWidget *
webkit_web_view_new_with_context (WebKitWebContext *context);

Creates a new WebKitWebView with the given WebKitWebContext and no WebKitUserContentManager associated with it. See also webkit_web_view_new_with_user_content_manager() and webkit_web_view_new_with_settings().

webkit_web_view_new_with_related_view ()

GtkWidget *
webkit_web_view_new_with_related_view (WebKitWebView *web_view);

Creates a new WebKitWebView sharing the same web process with web_view . This method doesn't have any effect when WEBKIT_PROCESS_MODEL_SHARED_SECONDARY_PROCESS process model is used, because a single web process is shared for all the web views in the same WebKitWebContext. When using WEBKIT_PROCESS_MODEL_MULTIPLE_SECONDARY_PROCESSES process model, this method should always be used when creating the WebKitWebView in the “create” signal. You can also use this method to implement other process models based on WEBKIT_PROCESS_MODEL_MULTIPLE_SECONDARY_PROCESSES, like for example, sharing the same web process for all the views in the same security domain.

The newly created WebKitWebView will also have the same WebKitUserContentManager and WebKitSettings as web_view .

               gpointer                 user_data)

This signal is emitted when WebKit is requesting the client to decide a policy decision, such as whether to navigate to a page, open a new window or whether or not to download a resource. The WebKitNavigationPolicyDecision passed in the decision argument is a generic type, but should be casted to a more specific type when making the decision. For example:

{
    switch (type) {
    case WEBKIT_POLICY_DECISION_TYPE_NAVIGATION_ACTION: {
        WebKitNavigationPolicyDecision *navigation_decision = WEBKIT_NAVIGATION_POLICY_DECISION (decision);
        /* Make a policy decision here. */
        break;
    }
    case WEBKIT_POLICY_DECISION_TYPE_NEW_WINDOW_ACTION: {
        WebKitNavigationPolicyDecision *navigation_decision = WEBKIT_NAVIGATION_POLICY_DECISION (decision);
        /* Make a policy decision here. */
        break;
    }
    case WEBKIT_POLICY_DECISION_TYPE_RESPONSE:
        WebKitResponsePolicyDecision *response = WEBKIT_RESPONSE_POLICY_DECISION (decision);
        /* Make a policy decision here. */
        break;
    default:
        /* Making no decision results in webkit_policy_decision_use(). */
        return FALSE;
    }
    return TRUE;
}

It is possible to make policy decision asynchronously, by simply calling g_object_ref() on the decision argument and returning TRUE to block the default signal handler. If the last reference is removed on a WebKitPolicyDecision and no decision has been made explicitly, webkit_policy_decision_use() will be the default policy decision. The default signal handler will simply call webkit_policy_decision_use(). Only the first policy decision chosen for a given WebKitPolicyDecision will have any affect.

The “enter-fullscreen” signal

gboolean
user_function (WebKitWebView *web_view,
               gpointer       user_data)

Emitted when JavaScript code calls element.webkitRequestFullScreen. If the signal is not handled the WebKitWebView will proceed to full screen its top level window. This signal can be used by client code to request permission to the user prior doing the full screen transition and eventually prepare the top-level window (e.g. hide some widgets that would otherwise be part of the full screen window).

The “insecure-content-detected” signal

               WebKitInsecureContentEvent event,
               gpointer                   user_data)

This signal is emitted when insecure content has been detected in a page loaded through a secure connection. This typically means that a external resource from an unstrusted source has been run or displayed, resulting in a mix of HTTPS and non-HTTPS content.

You can check the event parameter to know exactly which kind of event has been detected (see WebKitInsecureContentEvent).

The “leave-fullscreen” signal

gboolean
user_function (WebKitWebView *web_view,
               gpointer       user_data)

Emitted when the WebKitWebView is about to restore its top level window out of its full screen state. This signal can be used by client code to restore widgets hidden during the “enter-fullscreen” stage for instance.

The “load-changed” signal

void
user_function (WebKitWebView  *web_view,
               WebKitLoadEvent load_event,
               gpointer        user_data)

Emitted when a load operation in web_view changes. The signal is always emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED when a new load request is made and WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED when the load finishes successfully or due to an error. When the ongoing load operation fails “load-failed” signal is emitted before “load-changed” is emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED. If a redirection is received from the server, this signal is emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_REDIRECTED after the initial emission with WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED and before WEBKIT_LOAD_COMMITTED. When the page content starts arriving the signal is emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_COMMITTED event.

You can handle this signal and use a switch to track any ongoing load operation.

The “load-failed” signal

gboolean
user_function (WebKitWebView  *web_view,
               WebKitLoadEvent load_event,
               gchar          *failing_uri,
               GError         *error,
               gpointer        user_data)

Emitted when an error occurs during a load operation. If the error happened when starting to load data for a page load_event will be WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED. If it happened while loading a committed data source load_event will be WEBKIT_LOAD_COMMITTED. Since a load error causes the load operation to finish, the signal WebKitWebView::load-changed will always be emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED event right after this one.

By default, if the signal is not handled, a stock error page will be displayed. You need to handle the signal if you want to provide your own error page.

The “load-failed-with-tls-errors” signal

               GTlsCertificateFlags errors,
               gpointer             user_data)

Emitted when a TLS error occurs during a load operation. To allow an exception for this certificate and the host of failing_uri use webkit_web_context_allow_tls_certificate_for_host().

To handle this signal asynchronously you should call g_object_ref() on certificate and return TRUE.

If FALSE is returned, “load-failed” will be emitted. The load will finish regardless of the returned value.

The “mouse-target-changed” signal

void
user_function (WebKitWebView       *web_view,

               gpointer             user_data)

This signal is emitted when the mouse cursor moves over an element such as a link, image or a media element. To determine what type of element the mouse cursor is over, a Hit Test is performed on the current mouse coordinates and the result is passed in the hit_test_result argument. The modifiers argument is a bitmask of GdkModifierType flags indicating the state of modifier keys. The signal is emitted again when the mouse is moved out of the current element with a new hit_test_result .

               WebKitPermissionRequest *request,
               gpointer                 user_data)

This signal is emitted when WebKit is requesting the client to decide about a permission request, such as allowing the browser to switch to fullscreen mode, sharing its location or similar operations.

A possible way to use this signal could be through a dialog allowing the user decide what to do with the request:

        webkit_permission_request_deny (request);
        break;
    }
    gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);

    return TRUE;
}

It is possible to handle permission requests asynchronously, by simply calling g_object_ref() on the request argument and returning TRUE to block the default signal handler. If the last reference is removed on a WebKitPermissionRequest and the request has not been handled, webkit_permission_request_deny() will be the default action.

If the signal is not handled, the request will be completed automatically by the specific WebKitPermissionRequest that could allow or deny it. Check the documentation of classes implementing WebKitPermissionRequest interface to know their default action.

               WebKitPrintOperation *print_operation,
               gpointer              user_data)

Emitted when printing is requested on web_view , usually by a JavaScript call, before the print dialog is shown. This signal can be used to set the initial print settings and page setup of print_operation to be used as default values in the print dialog. You can call webkit_print_operation_set_print_settings() and webkit_print_operation_set_page_setup() and then return FALSE to propagate the event so that the print dialog is shown.

You can connect to this signal and return TRUE to cancel the print operation or implement your own print dialog.
