Question

How do I enable clicking on links in my mac osx webview?

I have the following code but I don’t know what methods to implement for the policy delegate…

@synthesize myWebView = _myWebView;

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification


    /* webview setup here, everything works fine 
    except cannot click links in webview..... */


    //setup my delegate
    _myWebView.policyDelegate = self;

}
//Now what?....

Thanks.

WebView doesn’t have restriction on links.

But if you need a custom behavior when clicking on a link in your web view, you should implement “webView:decidePolicyForNavigationAction:request:frame:decisionListener:” in your policy delegate. Then you you get the action type from the action information dictionary and you do your custom behavior if it’s a link clicked event.

Example:

- (void)webView:(WebView *)webView decidePolicyForNavigationAction:(NSDictionary *)actionInformation request:(NSURLRequest *)request frame:(WebFrame *)frame  decisionListener:(id < WebPolicyDecisionListener >)listener

{

    NSUInteger actionType = [[actionInformation objectForKey:WebActionNavigationTypeKey] unsignedIntValue];
    if (actionType == WebNavigationTypeLinkClicked) {
        //Do your stuff
    } else {
        [listener use];
    }

}
