Access QWebKit (QML based 5.2+ alpha) from C++

scotryder

Hi there,

i'm building a sample app that uses QML for UI and WebKit View. I want to access and call functions on QML based QWebKit from C++. How can i achieve that?

Thanks

You need to include private headers of QtWebKit like private/qquickwebview_p.h and get access to QQuickWebView object from your scene

See e.g. https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtwebkit/Tools/MiniBrowser/qt/BrowserWindow.cpp.html#_ZNK13BrowserWindow7webViewEv

Thank you for your reply, looks like i dont get reply notifications

i saw the code but looks like its all happening in main file.

I created a simple Quick App, i exposed a C++ class WebKitController to QML and put both QML WebKit {} and my WebKitController{} in qml main file.
now i want to call a function on WebKitController.onCompleted{} that pass the WebKit QML object or its id to my cpp class. I dont know what my cpp class will expect here and what should i pass actually?

Thanks again

What's wrong with accessing webview in the same way as in example above, i.e. property of a root object?

In my recent project I use a different approach, my QML scene is really minimalistic (WebView and splash screen only), so I construct it fully in C++
