Mac WebGadget callback ?

[kenmo]

The WebGadget "navigation callback" only works on Windows (see example below) despite the #PB_Web_NavigationCallback constant being present on Mac OS X.

Is there any CocoaMessage magic I could possibly use to intercept/prevent WebGadget navigation when the user clicks a link?

Code: Select all

  ; This example does display the PureBasic.com website. Inside the callback procedure
  ; the navigation to the 'News' site will be avoided (#False returned), but allowed
  ; for all other sites (#True returned).    
  Procedure NavigationCallback(Gadget, Url$) 
    If Url$= "http://www.purebasic.com/news.php" 
      MessageRequester("", "No news today!")
       ProcedureReturn #False 
    Else
       ProcedureReturn #True
     EndIf
   EndProcedure   
  If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 600, 300, "WebGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) 
    WebGadget(0, 10, 10, 580, 280, "http://www.purebasic.com") 
    SetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_Web_NavigationCallback, @NavigationCallback())
    Repeat
     Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
   EndIf

I am looking to intercept links to certain filetypes and open them in a different part of my program.

Thanks!

Did you already take a look into my navigation callback example for MacOS?

I also demonstrated here how to do it in Linux.

Hello Shardik!

No I did not see that post. I will try it on my Mac tonight. Thank you!

I did some forum searches and did not find anything... but now I realize I should have checked the big list of Cocoa tips... or Google search (your posts are the top results).

Your solution seems to work perfectly! Thank you!

My only remaining Mac WebGadget issue is unrelated to this thread: the cursor icon seems unreliable. Sometimes when hovering over links it shows the "pointing finger" icon (correct) but often it shows the "I-beam" text cursor (incorrect). If I can reproduce this issue in a small example code, I might post a bug report...
