I create a simple web browser with Qt 5.7 and the webEngine. I would like to create an search function to find word in webView but I don't really know how make interaction between web content and Qt ( I'm new on Qt, I do this for fun and to improve my level ).
this is the minimal code too display WebView : main.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.showMaximized();
return a.exec();
}
mainWindow.h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QtWebEngineWidgets>
namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
void setWebEngine();
private:
Ui::MainWindow *ui;
QWebEngineView *view;
};
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H
mainWindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
setWebEngine();
setCentralWidget(view);
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}
void MainWindow::setWebEngine()
{
view = new QWebEngineView();
view->load(QUrl("http://www.google.com"));
}
I would like to know something else, is it possible to list elements in the web content ( form, h1, h2, ... )
Have a nice day, and sorry for my English ;)
From the Qt5 documentation
Should be quite simple.
