Is there any documentation on Webview fuctions allowing control back, foward refresh. if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great thanks in advance.

Quick example I threw together... its pretty self explanatory.  I will do a full write up on my blog soon:

import bb.cascades 1.0

Page {
    content: Container {
        background: Color.create(0.25, 0.25, 0.25)
        TextArea {
            text: "Text up here"
            editable: false
            textStyle {
                //   size: 30
                fontWeight: FontWeight.Bold
                color: Color.White
            }
        }
        Container {
            layout: StackLayout {
                orientation: LayoutOrientation.LeftToRight
            }
            Button {
                id: button1
                text: "Back"
                onClicked: {
                    myWebView.goBack();
                }
            }
            Button {
                id: button2
                text: "Forward"
                onClicked: {
                    myWebView.goForward();
                }
            }
            Button {
                id: button3
                text: "Refresh"
                onClicked: {
                    myWebView.reload();
                }
            }
        }
        Container {
            ScrollView {
                scrollViewProperties.pinchToZoomEnabled: true
                scrollViewProperties.scrollMode: ScrollMode.Both
                WebView {
                    id: myWebView
                    url: "https://www.google.com/"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Reference from documentation (https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/reference/bb__cascades__webview.html):

void goBack ()

Navigates to the previous page in the navigation history.

If there's no previous page, this method does nothing.

void goForward ()

Navigates to the next page in the navigation history.

If there's no next page, this method does nothing.

void stop ()

Stops any loading in progress.

If no loading is in progress, this method does nothing.

void reload ()

Reloads the current page.

I was looking for these other WebView functions are the avaible yet 

• add to homescreen
• reader
• Share page
• find on page
• Site Info

Thanks

[bcs925]

I know you can use reader (my friend has it in one of his apps already) so I wouldn't see why not for the others.

[bbquincar]

ok besides the normal dev cascades site is there other doc i can find them.

[bcs925]

I haven't seen any other docs on this subject. Why are you looking for an example? If so I'll be sure to make one soon.

[bbquincar]

Yes I'd very interest in seeing all the browser funtions. My app is fully based around it thanks.
