Signal

WebKit2WebView::load-changed

Declaration

void
load_changed (
  WebKitWebView* self,
  WebKitLoadEvent load_event,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description [src]

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 WebKitWebView::load-failed signal is emitted before WebKitWebView::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.
