How to change html elements immediately after loading page with QWebEngineView 'loadFinished'?

851 views Asked by At

I want to use QWebEngineView to do more things when the html page loads, instead of manually sending signals to change the html.I manually used the button to send the signal three times, with the initial load once for a total of four times:

        self.page().setWebChannel(self.channel)

    def sendCustomSignal(self):
        print("sendCustomSignal to js...")
        self.customSignal.emit('current time:' + str(time()))

        self.webview.load(QUrl.fromLocalFile(os.path.abspath('show.html')))
        self.webview.loadFinished.connect(self.webview.sendCustomSignal)

That the signal is emitted emits the loadFinished signal does not imply that all the scripts are executed, in this case it is preferable that the exported object invokes a slot to indicate that the connection has been made.
