Running QWebPage in a QThread

yodusow bardon

I tried to run QWebPage in a thread and I'm getting this warning:

QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.

It's really simple the code:

void Thread::run() {
    auto page = new QWebPage;
    page->mainFrame()->load(QNetworkRequest(QUrl("http://google.com")));
}

It is not allowed to use UI related Qt classes in a different thread. They all must be used in the same thread in which the event loop is executed.
Why do you want to use QWebPage in a different thread?
As far as I know the UI of your application should not block while the web page is loaded.
