permission_request
Description:
This signal is emitted when WebKit is requesting the client to decide about a permission request, such as allowing the browser to switch to fullscreen mode, sharing its location or similar operations.
A possible way to use this signal could be through a dialog allowing the user decide what to do with the request:
```c static gboolean permission_request_cb (WebKitWebView *web_view, WebKitPermissionRequest *request, GtkWindow *parent_window) { GtkWidget *dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (parent_window, GTK_DIALOG_MODAL, GTK_MESSAGE_QUESTION, GTK_BUTTONS_YES_NO, "Allow Permission Request?"); gtk_widget_show (dialog); gint result = gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog));
switch (result) { case GTK_RESPONSE_YES: webkit_permission_request_allow (request); break; default: webkit_permission_request_deny ( request); break; } gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);
return TRUE; } ```
It is possible to handle permission requests asynchronously, by simply calling @ref
on the request argument and returning true to block the default signal handler. If the last
reference is removed on a PermissionRequest and the request has
not been handled, deny will be the default action.
If the signal is not handled, the request will be completed automatically by the specific
PermissionRequest that could allow or deny it. Check the
documentation of classes implementing PermissionRequest interface
to know their default action.
Parameters:
| request |
Returns:
|
true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further. |
