[Iup-users] WebBrowser widget... How To Implement Help?

[Jeremy C. <je...@co...>]

I am attempting to implement a help widget and running into
difficulties. My basic design is that my app has several HTML pages,
some dynamically generated. I was hoping to intercept navigation calls
via the NAVIGATE_CB, return IUP_IGNORE on pages that I want to handle
and then using the HTML attribute to set the pages content.

This, however, is not working. The web browser widget (Windows)
continues to do whatever it first set out to do, in my case load:
http://help/page1.html. Which, of course times out in a few seconds.

So, my next guess was to call iup_set_attribute(hWeb, "STOP", NULL);
when I want to handle the content. This also does not work. The web
widget continues trying to load http://help/page1.html.

So, my next guess was to use my own protocol: help://page1 but this does
not work either because of the above situations, only instead of timing
out it simply states invalid protocol.

On all of these, in my events I have printf statements ensuring my
methods are being called correctly and they are.

Where do I go from here? I can easily enough display the first page via
the HTML attribute, but any navigation thereafter is impossible from
what I can see, short of including my own internal web server :-/
