Using the CHtmlView Class in an MFC Application

In the standard MFC framework application (either SDI or MDI based), the view object is commonly derived from a specialized set of classes. These classes, all derived from CView, provide specialized functionality beyond that provided by CView.

Basing the application's view class on CHtmlView provides the view with the WebBrowser control. This effectively makes the application a web browser. The preferred method of creating a web browser-style application is to use the MFC Application Wizard, and specify CHtmlView as the view class. For more information on implementing and using the WebBrowser control within MFC applications, see Creating a Web Browser-Style Application.

Note

The WebBrowser ActiveX control (and therefore CHtmlView) is available only to programs running under Windows NT versions 4.0 or later, in which Internet Explorer 4.0 or later has been installed.

CHtmlView is designed for applications that access the Web (and/or HTML documents). The following CHtmlView member functions apply to the Internet Explorer application only. These functions will succeed on the WebBrowser control, but they'll have no visible effect.

Parameters

URL
A caller-allocated string that contains the URL to navigate to, or the full path of the file to display.

Parameters

pIDL
A pointer to an ITEMIDLIST structure.

dwFlags
The flags of a variable that specifies whether to add the resource to the history list, whether to read to or write from the cache, and whether to display the resource in a new window. The variable can be a combination of the values defined by the BrowserNavConstants enumeration.

lpszTargetFrameName
A pointer to a string that contains the name of the frame in which to display the resource.

lpszURL
A pointer to a string containing the URL.

lpvPostData
Data to send with the HTTP POST transaction. For example, the POST transaction is used to send data gathered by an HTML form. If this parameter doesn't specify any post data, Navigate2 issues an HTTP GET transaction. This parameter is ignored if URL isn't an HTTP or HTTPS URL.

dwPostDataLen
Length in bytes of the data pointed to by the lpvPostData parameter.

Remarks

This member function extends the Navigate member function by supporting browsing on special folders, such as Desktop and My Computer, that are represented by the parameter pIDL.

Applies to Internet Explorer and WebBrowser.

Example

{
   Navigate2(_T("http://home.microsoft.com"));
}

CHtmlView::OnBeforeNavigate2

This member function is called by the framework to cause an event to fire before a navigation operation occurs in the web browser.

virtual void OnBeforeNavigate2(
    LPCTSTR lpszURL,
    DWORD nFlags,
    LPCTSTR lpszTargetFrameName,
    CByteArray& baPostedData,
    LPCTSTR lpszHeaders,
    BOOL* pbCancel);

Parameters

lpszURL
Pointer to a string containing the URL to navigate to.

nFlags
Reserved for future use.

lpszTargetFrameName
A string that contains the name of the frame in which to display the resource, or NULL if no named frame is targeted for the resource.

baPostedData
A reference to a CByteArray object containing the data to send to the server if the HTTP POST transaction is being used.

lpszHeaders
A pointer to a string containing other HTTP headers to send to the server (HTTP URLs only). The headers can specify such things as the action required of the server, the type of data being passed to the server, or a status code.

pbCancel
A pointer to a cancel flag. An application can set this parameter to nonzero to cancel the navigation operation, or to zero to allow it to continue.

CHtmlView::OnCommandStateChange

This member function is called by the framework to notify an application that the enabled state of a web browser command has changed.

virtual void OnCommandStateChange(
    long nCommand,
    BOOL bEnable);

Parameters

nCommand
Identifier of the command whose enabled state has changed.

bEnable
Enabled state. This parameter is nonzero if the command is enabled, or zero if it's disabled.

CHtmlView::OnDocumentComplete

This member function is called by the framework to notify an application that a document has reached the READYSTATE_COMPLETE state.

virtual void OnDocumentComplete(LPCTSTR lpszURL);

Parameters

lpszURL
A pointer to a string that evaluates to the URL, UNC file name, or a PIDL (a pointer to an item identifier list) that was navigated to.

Remarks

Not every frame will fire this event, but each frame that fires an OnDownloadBegin event will fire a corresponding OnDocumentComplete event.

The URL indicated by lpszURL can be different from the URL that the browser was told to navigate to, because this URL is the canonicalized and qualified URL. For example, if an application specifies a URL of "www.microsoft.com" in a call to Navigate or Navigate2, the URL passed by OnNavigateComplete2 will be "<https://www.microsoft.com/>". Also, if the server has redirected the browser to a different URL, the redirected URL will be reflected here.

CHtmlView::OnDocWindowActivate

Called from the Internet Explorer or MSHTML implementation of IOleInPlaceActiveObject::OnDocWindowActivate, which notifies the active in-place object when the container's document window is activated or deactivated.

virtual HRESULT OnDocWindowActivate(BOOL fActivate);

Parameters

fActivate
Indicates the state of the document window. If this value is nonzero, the window is being activated. If this value is zero, the window is being deactivated.

Return Value

S_OK if successful, or an OLE-defined error code otherwise.

Remarks

Override OnDocWindowActivate to react to the OnDocWindowActivate notification from the Microsoft Web Browser control. See IDocHostUIHandler::OnDocWindowActivate in the Windows SDK for more information.

CHtmlView::OnDownloadBegin

This member function is called by the framework to begin downloading a document.

virtual void OnDownloadBegin();

Remarks

This event is fired shortly after the OnBeforeNavigate2 event, unless the navigation is canceled. Any animation or "busy" indication that the container needs to display should be connected to this event.

CHtmlView::OnDownloadComplete

This member function is called by the framework to indicate that a navigation operation finished, was halted, or failed.

virtual void OnDownloadComplete();

CHtmlView::OnEnableModeless

Called when Internet Explorer or MSHTML displays modal UI.

virtual HRESULT OnEnableModeless(BOOL fEnable);

Parameters

fEnable
Indicates if the host's modeless dialog boxes are enabled or disabled. If this value is nonzero, modeless dialog boxes are enabled. If this value is zero, modeless dialog boxes are disabled.

Return Value
