Webview.useragent | LuaRT free and open source Windows programming framework for Lua

Webview.useragent read/write property

Get or set the current Webview User agent string.

Notes

A user agent string is a text that web browsers and other client applications send to web servers to identify themselves. It provides information about the software, operating system, and hardware being used, allowing the server to tailor its response accordingly.

Example


local ui = require "ui"
require "webview"

local win = ui.Window("Webview.useragent property example", "fixed", 320, 200)
local wv = ui.Webview(win, 0, 0, 320, 160)

local btn = ui.Button(win, "Click to change Webview.useragent")
btn:center()
btn.y = 166

function btn:onClick()
    wv.useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X x.y; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0"
    wv:reload()
end

function wv:onReady()
    wv.statusbar = false
    wv.devtools = false
    wv.contextmenu = false
    wv.acceleratorkeys = false
    -- load an HTML page that will display the current userAgent
    wv:loadstring([[
    <h1>Your User Agent</h1>
    <p id="userAgent"></p>
    <script>
        document.geElementById("userAgent").textContent = navigator.userAgent;
        </script>
    ]])
end

ui.run(win):wait()
