It can be used in various applications to display web content live from the Internet. A \e {web site} can be loaded to a web view with the load() function. The GET method is always used to load URLs. Like all Qt widgets, the show() function must be invoked in order to display the web view. The snippet below illustrates this: \snippet simple/main.cpp Using QWebEngineView Alternatively, setUrl() can be used to load a web site. If you have the HTML content readily available, you can use setHtml() instead. The loadStarted() signal is emitted when the view begins loading and the loadProgress() signal is emitted whenever an element of the web view completes loading, such as an embedded image or a script. The loadFinished() signal is emitted when the view has been loaded completely. Its argument, either \c true or \c false, indicates whether loading was successful or failed. The page() function returns a pointer to a \e {web page} object. A QWebEngineView contains a QWebEnginePage, which in turn allows access to the QWebEngineHistory in the page's context. The title of an HTML document can be accessed with the title() property. Additionally, a web site may specify an icon, which can be accessed using the icon() or its URL using the iconUrl() property. If the title or the icon changes, the corresponding titleChanged(), iconChanged() and iconUrlChanged() signals will be emitted. The zoomFactor() property enables zooming the contents of the web page by a scale factor. The widget features a context menu that is tailored to the element at hand, and includes actions useful in a browser. For a custom context menu, or for embedding actions in a menu or toolbar, the individual actions are available via \l pageAction(). The web view maintains the state of the returned actions, but allows modification of action properties such as \l{QAction::}{text} or \l{QAction::}{icon}. The action semantics can also be triggered directly through triggerPageAction(). If you want to provide support for web sites that allow the user to open new windows, such as pop-up windows, you can subclass QWebEngineView and reimplement the createWindow() function. \sa {WebEngine Demo Browser Example}, {WebEngine Content Manipulation Example}, {WebEngine Markdown Editor Example} */ /*! \fn QWebEngineView::QWebEngineView(QWidget *parent) Constructs an empty web view with the parent \a parent. \sa load() */ /*! \fn QWebEngineView::~QWebEngineView() Destroys the web view. */ /*! \fn QWebEnginePage *QWebEngineView::page() const Returns a pointer to the underlying web page. \sa setPage() */ /*! \fn void QWebEngineView::setPage(QWebEnginePage* page) Makes \a page the new web page of the web view.

External objects, such as stylesheets or images referenced in the HTML document, are located relative to \a baseUrl. The HTML document is loaded immediately, whereas external objects are loaded asynchronously. When using this method, Qt WebEngine assumes that external resources, such as JavaScript programs or style sheets, are encoded in UTF-8 unless otherwise specified. For example, the encoding of an external script can be specified through the \c charset attribute of the HTML script tag. Alternatively, the encoding can be specified by the web server. This is a convenience function equivalent to \c{setContent(html, "text/html;charset=UTF-8", baseUrl)}. \warning This function works only for HTML. For other MIME types (such as XHTML or SVG), setContent() should be used instead. \sa load(), setContent(), QWebEnginePage::toHtml(), QWebEnginePage::setContent() */ /*! \fn void QWebEngineView::setContent(const QByteArray &data, const QString &mimeType, const QUrl &baseUrl) Sets the content of the web view to the specified content \a data. If the \a mimeType argument is empty, it is currently assumed that the content is HTML but in future versions we may introduce auto-detection. External objects referenced in the content are located relative to \a baseUrl. The data is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously. \sa load(), setHtml(), QWebEnginePage::toHtml() */ /*! \fn QWebEngineHistory *QWebEngineView::history() const Returns a pointer to the view's history of navigated web pages.
