wxWebView - Mouse event

[saifcoder]

How to catch wxWebView mouse click event ?! it's not working.

Code: Select all

MyWEBVIEW = wxWebView::New(...);

MyWEBVIEW->Bind(wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN, &MyWindow::OnMouseLeftDown, this);
// OR
Bind( wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN, &MyWindow::OnMouseLeftDown, this, MyWEBVIEW_ID );

void MyWindow::OnMouseLeftDown(wxMouseEvent& evt){ ... }

Compile fine but I don't receive any events!, did wxWebView support mouse events ?

wxWebView is a wrapper around the native web browser control on each platform, which probably consume the mouse (and maybe other) events.

I assume you want to change context menu. The procedure would be to disable the current context menu (the default) and create your own. There were issues which I tried to fix in pull request[1] but got no time to finish it. You might want to take from where I ended and finish with VZ review comments

I love sharing solutions so much, I know how important is, it's just I didn't fix it yet! but I just completely disable the wxWebView to skip all events MyWebView->Enable(false);

I would like catch mouse event click to allow user mouse hover on the WebView but the control eat all events :/

Sincerely,

by the way, I'm looking if wxWidgets will support Microsoft Web View 2 in the future?

There is a wxWebView backend for Edge, but development has stopped as it's unclear what happens with regards to Microsoft's switch to Chrome.

Oh!, everything made by Microsoft was wonderful, Windows, XBOX, Kinet, Azure, Live, Bing.. except two things that stupidly down to low level! Windows Phone and there web browsers (IE/Edge)
