ifHTMLWidgetEvent

GetData() As roAssociativeArray

Returns the event data as an associative array with the following key/value pairs:

• [string] reason: The cause of the event, which can be one of the following:
  • "load-started": The HTML widget has started loading a page.
  • "load-finished": The HTML widget completed loading a page.
  • "load-error": The HTML widget failed to load a page. Use the uri key to identify the failing resource and the message key to retrieve some explanatory text.
  • "download-request": The HTML widget instance has received a download request. The Chromium instance does not process download requests for MIME types it doesn't recognize (e.g. PDFs); instead, it passes this event, along with the mime-type and url parameters to the BrightScript autorun for processing.
  • "new-window-request": The HTML widget instance has received a request to open a URI in a new window. This request will normally come from HTML anchors with "target=_blank"/"target=_top" or the JavaScript Window.open() method. The requested URI is specified in the uri parameter.
• [string] uri: The URI of the failing resource or new-window request (applicable for reason:"load-error" or reason:"new-window-request")
• [string] message: Explanatory text related to the load failure (applicable for reason:"load-error" only)
• [string] mime-type: The MIME type of the download request (applicable for reason:"download-request" only)
• [string] url: The URL of the download request (applicable for reason:"download-request" only)

Example

The following event loop waits for an HTML widget event. If the event indicates that a PDF download request has been received, the script passes the relevant data to a CreatePdfRenderer() function that is not defined here:

while true
	ev = wait(0, gaa.mp)
	print "=== BS: Received event ";type(ev)
	if type(ev) = "roHtmlWidgetEvent" then
		eventData = ev.GetData()
		if type(eventData) = "roAssociativeArray" and type(eventData.reason) = "roString" then
			if eventData.reason = "load-error" then
				print "=== BS: HTML load error: "; eventData.message
			else if eventData.reason = "load-finished" then
				print "=== BS: Received load finished"
				receivedLoadFinished = true
			else if eventData.reason = "message" then
				' To use this: msgPort.PostBSMessage({text: "my message"});
			else if eventData.reason = "load-started" then
				print "=== BS: Received load started"
			else if eventData.reason = "download-request" then
				print "=== BS: Received a download request"
				if eventData.mime_type = "application/pdf" then
					CreatePdfRenderer("file:///index.html?file=" + eventData.url)
				endif
			else
				print "======= UNHANDLED HTML EVENT ========="
				print eventData.reason
			endif
		else
			print "=== BS: Unknown eventData: "; type(eventData)
		endif
	endif
