HtmlWindow.OnOpeningURL > REDIRECT

[Torsten]

Hello everyone,

in wxPython 3 we used the following code to redirect image links:

def OnOpeningURL(self, htmlUrlType, url):
    if (
        htmlUrlType == HTML_URL_IMAGE and
        (self.basePath is not None) and
        not url.startswith(self.basePath)
    ):
        return self.basePath + "/" + url
    else:
        return HTML_OPEN

wxPython 4 now raises

TypeError: invalid result from HtmlWindow.OnOpeningURL(), a member of enum 'HtmlOpeningStatus' is expected not 'unicode'

From reading the docs OnOpeningURL has a fourth parameter redirect which is a Pointer to String variable that must be filled with an URL. How do i use this? I tried

        redirect = self.basePath + "/" + url
        return HTML_REDIRECT
    else:
        return HTML_OPEN

but with no success.

How is the correct way of handling the redirect in wxPython 4?

It looks like the custom implementation for that method wasn't ported from Classic. I'll look into it this evening and implement something for the next release. (Coming soon, I hope.)

Hello Robin,

can you please revisit https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/1068.

Seems like it's still not fully fixed:https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/1068#issuecomment-455778327

Thank you,
