The inspector can display a page's hierarchy, its loading statistics and the current state of its individual elements. It is mostly used by web developers. The QWebEnginePage to be inspected must be specified using the setPage() method. A typical use of QWebEngineInspector follows: \snippet snippets/qtwebengine_qwebengineinspector_snippet.cpp 0 A QWebEngineInspector can be made visible either programmatically using setVisible(), or by the user through the attached QWebEnginePage's context menu. \note A QWebEngineInspector will display a blank widget if either: \list \li page() is null \li QWebEngineSettings::DeveloperExtrasEnabled is false \endlist \section1 Resources This class acts mostly as a container and a controller for the inspector. Most of the resources needed by the inspector are owned by the associated QWebEnginePage and are allocated the first time that: \list \li an element is inspected \li the QWebEngineInspector is shown. \endlist \section1 Inspector configuration persistence The inspector allows the user to configure some options through its user interface (e.g. the resource tracking "Always enable" option). The inspector UI is itself a web page and is using HTML local storage to persist those settings. Since the internal QWebEnginePage used by the inspector isn't exposed in the API, the only way to enable those settings to be persisted is currently to enable local storage globally through QWebEngineSettings::globalSettings(). \sa QWebEngineSettings::localStoragePath(), QWebEngineSettings::LocalStorageEnabled */ /*! \fn QWebEngineInspector::QWebEngineInspector(QWidget* parent) Constructs an unbound QWebEngineInspector with \a parent as its parent. */ /*! \fn QWebEngineInspector::~QWebEngineInspector() Destroys the inspector. */ /*! \fn void QWebEngineInspector::setPage(QWebEnginePage* page) Bind this inspector to the QWebEnginePage to be inspected. \b {Notes:} \list \li There can only be one QWebEngineInspector associated with a QWebEnginePage and vice versa. \li Calling this method with a null \a page will break the current association, if any. \li If \a page is already associated to another QWebEngineInspector, the association will be replaced and the previous QWebEngineInspector will become unbound \endlist \sa page() */ /*! \fn QWebEnginePage* QWebEngineInspector::page() const Returns the inspected QWebEnginePage. If no web page is currently associated, a null pointer is returned. */
