Description: Reference for signal WebKit2.WebView::load-changed

### Signal

# WebKit2 WebView::load-changed

unstable since: 4.1

#### Declaration

    void
    load_changed (
      WebKitWebView* self,
      WebKitLoadEvent load_event,
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description [src]

Emitted when a load operation in `web_view` changes. The signal is always emitted with `WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED` when a new load request is made and `WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED` when the load finishes successfully or due to an error. When the ongoing load operation fails `WebKitWebView::load-failed` signal is emitted before `WebKitWebView::load-changed` is emitted with `WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED`. If a redirection is received from the server, this signal is emitted with `WEBKIT_LOAD_REDIRECTED` after the initial emission with `WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED` and before `WEBKIT_LOAD_COMMITTED`. When the page content starts arriving the signal is emitted with `WEBKIT_LOAD_COMMITTED` event.

You can handle this signal and use a switch to track any ongoing load operation.
