Detailed Description

The QWebView class provides a widget that is used to view and edit web documents. QWebView is the main widget component of the CsWebKit web browsing library. It can be used in various applications to display web content live from the Internet.

A web site can be loaded onto QWebView with the load() function. Like all CopperSpice widgets, the show() function must be invoked in order to display QWebView. The snippet below illustrates this:

QWebView *view = new QWebView(parent);
view->load(QUrl("https://www.copperspice.com"));
view->show();

Alternatively, setUrl() can also be used to load a web site. If you have the HTML content readily available, you can use setHtml() instead.

The loadStarted() signal is emitted when the view begins loading. The loadProgress() signal, on the other hand, is emitted whenever an element of the web view completes loading, such as an embedded image, a script, etc. Finally, the loadFinished() signal is emitted when the view has loaded completely. It's argument - either true or false - indicates load success or failure.

The page() function returns a pointer to the web page object. Refer to the "Elements of QWebView" for an explanation of how the web page is related to the view. To modify your web view's settings, you can access the QWebSettings object with the settings() function. With QWebSettings, you can change the default fonts, enable or disable features such as JavaScript and plugins.

The title of an HTML document can be accessed with the title() property. Additionally, a web site may also specify an icon, which can be accessed using the icon() property. If the title or the icon changes, the corresponding titleChanged() and iconChanged() signals will be emitted. The textSizeMultiplier() property can be used to change the overall size of the text displayed in the web view.

If you require a custom context menu, you can implement it by reimplementing contextMenuEvent() and populating your QMenu with the actions obtained from pageAction(). More functionality such as reloading the view, copying selected text to the clipboard, or pasting into the view, is also encapsulated within the QAction objects returned by pageAction(). These actions can be programmatically triggered using triggerPageAction(). Alternatively, the actions can be added to a toolbar or a menu directly. QWebView maintains the state of the returned actions but allows modification of action properties such as text or icon.

A QWebView can be printed onto a QPrinter using the print() function. This function is marked as a slot and can be conveniently connected to QPrintPreviewDialog's paintRequested() signal.

If you want to provide support for web sites that allow the user to open new windows, such as pop-up windows, you can subclass QWebView and reimplement the createWindow() function.

Elements of QWebView

QWebView consists of other objects such as QWebFrame and QWebPage. The flowchart below shows these elements are related.

Note
It is possible to use QWebPage and QWebFrame without using QWebView. Since CsWebKit depends on CsGui you must still use a QApplication instead of QCoreApplication.

selectionChanged()

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QWebView::QWebView ( QWidget parent = 0)
explicit

Constructs an empty QWebView with the given parent.

See also
load()
QWebView::~QWebView ( )
virtual

Destroys the web view.

Method Documentation

void QWebView::back ( )
slot

Convenience slot which will load the previous document in the list of documents built by navigating links. This method does nothing if there is no previous document.

This is equivalent to the following:

view->page()->triggerPageAction(QWebPage::GoBack);

void QWebView::changeEvent ( QEvent event)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Reimplemented from QWidget::changeEvent()

void QWebView::contextMenuEvent ( QContextMenuEvent event)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Reimplemented from QWidget::contextMenuEvent()

QWebView * QWebView::createWindow ( QWebPage::WebWindowType  type)
protectedvirtual

This function is called from the createWindow() method of the associated QWebPage, each time the page wants to create a new window of the given type. This might be the result, for example, of a JavaScript request to open a document in a new window.

Note
If the createWindow() method of the associated page is reimplemented, this method is not called, unless explicitly done so in the reimplementation.
In the cases when the window creation is being triggered by JavaScript, apart from reimplementing this method application must also set the JavaScriptCanOpenWindows attribute of QWebSettings to true in order for it to get called.

bool QWebView::findText ( const QString subString,
QWebPage::FindFlags  options = 0 
)

Finds the specified subString, in the page using the given options. If the HighlightAllOccurrences flag is passed, the function will highlight all occurrences that exist in the page. All subsequent calls will extend the highlight, rather than replace it, with occurrences of the new string.

If the HighlightAllOccurrences flag is not passed, the function will select an occurrence and all subsequent calls will replace the current occurrence with the next one.

To clear the selection, just pass an empty string.

Returns true if subString was found, otherwise returns false.

void QWebView::setContent ( const QByteArray data,
const QString mimeType = QString(),
const QUrl baseUrl = QUrl() 
)

Sets the content of the web view to the specified content data. If the mimeType argument is empty it is assumed the content is HTML. External objects referenced in the content are located relative to baseUrl. The data is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously.

See also
load(), setHtml(), QWebFrame::toHtml()
void QWebView::setHtml ( const QString html,
const QUrl baseUrl = QUrl() 
)

Sets the content of the web view to the specified html. External objects such as stylesheets or images referenced in the HTML document are located relative to baseUrl. The html is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously.

When using this method, WebKit assumes that external resources such as JavaScript programs or style sheets are encoded in UTF-8 unless otherwise specified. For example, the encoding of an external script can be specified through the charset attribute of the HTML script tag. Alternatively, the encoding can also be specified by the web server.

This is a equivalent to calling setContent(html, "text/html", baseUrl).

Warning
This function works only for HTML, for other mime types (i.e. XHTML, SVG) setContent() should be used instead.

load(), setContent(), QWebFrame::toHtml(), QWebFrame::setContent()
void QWebView::setPage ( QWebPage page)
