API reference - Class BrowserSource
Notation used in Ruby API documentation
Description: The BrowserDialog's source for "int" URL's
- Public constructors
- Public methods
- Deprecated methods (protected, public, static, non-static and constructors)
- Detailed description
The source object basically acts as a "server" for special URL's using "int" as the scheme. Classes that want to implement such functionality must derive from BrowserSource and reimplement the get method. This method is supposed to deliver a HTML page for the given URL.
Alternatively to implementing this functionality, a source object may be instantiated using the constructor with a HTML code string. This will create a source object that simply displays the given string as the initial and only page.
Public constructors
| new BrowserSource ptr | new | (string arg1) | construct a BrowserSource object with a default HTML string |
Public methods
| void | _create | Ensures the C++ object is created | ||
| void | _destroy | Explicitly destroys the object | ||
| [const] | bool | _destroyed? | Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed | |
| [const] | bool | _is_const_object? | Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference | |
| void | _manage | Marks the object as managed by the script side. | ||
| void | _unmanage | Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side. | ||
| void | assign | (const BrowserSource other) | Assigns another object to self | |
| [const] | new BrowserSource ptr | dup | Creates a copy of self | |
| [virtual] | string | get | (string url) | Get the HTML code for a given "int" URL. |

Detailed description
_create | Signature: void _create Description: Ensures the C++ object is created Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created. |
_destroy | Signature: void _destroy Description: Explicitly destroys the object Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing. |
_destroyed? | Signature: [const] bool _destroyed? Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself. |
_is_const_object? | Signature: [const] bool _is_const_object? Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self. |
_manage | Signature: void _manage Description: Marks the object as managed by the script side. After calling this method on an object, the script side will be responsible for the management of the object. This method may be called if an object is returned from a C++ function and the object is known not to be owned by any C++ instance. If necessary, the script side may delete the object if the script's reference is no longer required. Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24. |
_unmanage | Signature: void _unmanage Description: Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side. Calling this method will make this object no longer owned by the script's memory management. Instead, the object must be managed in some other way. Usually this method may be called if it is known that some C++ object holds and manages this object. Technically speaking, this method will turn the script's reference into a weak reference. After the script engine decides to delete the reference, the object itself will still exist. If the object is not managed otherwise, memory leaks will occur. Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24. |
assign | Signature: void assign (const BrowserSource other) Description: Assigns another object to self |
create | Signature: void create Description: Ensures the C++ object is created Use of this method is deprecated. Use _create instead |
destroy | Signature: void destroy Description: Explicitly destroys the object Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroy instead |
destroyed? | Signature: [const] bool destroyed? Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroyed? instead |
dup | Signature: [const] new BrowserSource ptr dup Description: Creates a copy of self |
get | Signature: [virtual] string get (string url) Description: Get the HTML code for a given "int" URL. If this method returns an empty string, the browser will not be set to a new location. This allows to implement any functionality behind such links. If the method returns a string, the content of this string is displayed in the HTML browser page. |
is_const_object? | Signature: [const] bool is_const_object? Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference Use of this method is deprecated. Use _is_const_object? instead |
new | Signature: [static] new BrowserSource ptr new (string arg1) Description: construct a BrowserSource object with a default HTML string The default HTML string is sent when no specific implementation is provided. Python specific notes: |
new_html | Signature: [static] new BrowserSource ptr new_html (string arg1) Description: construct a BrowserSource object with a default HTML string Use of this method is deprecated. Use new instead Python specific notes: |
