QML WebView counter-part for C++/Qt Widgets? (i.e. use native browser)

Hi,
You can use the QQuickWidget to embed your QNL code.
-
Just in case, QtWebView has support for native browser API where it's available, otherwise it uses QtWebEngine where possible.

No, the QtWebView module is very much alive.

For macOS it depends.
For Windows, unless it's WinRT, no, it uses QtWebEngine. AFAIK, Windows as no system web view.

QWebView is a class from either QtWebKit or the QtWebView module. Which one do you mean exactly ?
-
Btw, I meant QWebView (C++ Qt Widgets component) not QtWebView (QML component) - is this still available (and supported)? And is this the thin wrapper on top of platform browsers on desktop?
Hi
Do you mean the one from WebKIT ?

WebKit has been removed but still alive from external party.

To get to the original question - I'm interested if there is a web view component in Qt (preferable on C++/Widgets side) that uses native browsers for each desktop platform (Mac and Win at the moment, not winrt) - so there is no need to bundle webkit or chromium.
wxWidgets has wxWebView: http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_web_view.html

Hi
Not as far as i know.
You can use the MS ActiveX if you want (MSHTML)
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/activeqt-activeqt-webbrowser-example.html
and other techs on the other platforms.
