QWebView, DelegateExternalLinks and anchors

derda17

Hi,

I'm trying to use QWebView to display on-the-fly generated html reports. Their source is generated as valid html/css and the passed to the qwebview by setHtml( content )

The generated code contains three types of links:

links to anchors within the generated code
external links, that should be opened in a external browser
links with a special scheme to be handled within the application

Out-of-the-box, type 1 works perfectly, 2 are opened inside the webview and 3 are ignored.

To handle 2 and 3 I set

qwebview->page()->setLinkDelegationPolicy(QWebPage::DelegateExternalLinks);

and connect the linkClicked() signal to aprocessing slot.
This resolves type 2, but anchors result now in an error about:blank#<anchorID> Error while opening the location, the location is not supported (wording may actually be slightly different). Any idea, how I can keep working anchors while handling the other types by myself?

QT version: 4.8.6

You should override QWebPage::acceptNavigationRequest and implement your own navigation policy.

So if I inherit from QWebPage and override acceptNavigationRequest, it should simply work like

qwebview->setPage( myNewWebPage );
qwebview->setHtml( myContent );

shouldn't it?

//edit: yes it does. Thank you, it worked perfectly fine.
