    Default QWebView and right click reload

    Hi,

    I have been trying to disable the right click "reload" menu on QWebView. After many failed attempts I tried the following code:

    Qt Code:
    1. MyApplication::MyApplication(int argc, char *argv[]) :
    2. QApplication(argc, argv)
    3. {
    4. installEventFilter(this);
    5. }
    6.  
    7. bool MyApplication::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *e)
    8. {
    9. if ( ( e->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress )||
    10. ( e->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonRelease )||
    11. ( e->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick ) )
    12. {
    13. return true;
    14. //QMouseEvent* m = static_cast<QMouseEvent *>(e);
    15. //int i = m->button();
    16. //if ( i == Qt::RightButton)
    17. //{
    18. // return true;
    19. //}
    20. }
    21. else if ( e->type() == QEvent::KeyPress )
    22. {
    23. QKeyEvent* k = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(e);
    24. if(k->key() == Qt::Key_F4)
    25. {
    26. quit();
    27. return true;
    28. }
    29. }
    30. return QApplication::eventFilter(obj, e);
    31. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    The strange thing is even though the mouse button events are disabled, still the "reload" menu shows up on the QWebView. I tired to inherit the QwebView and install my event filter also but with the same result. I think I missing something about this "reload" menu on QwebView.

    Anyone, please let me know if you know of a way to disable the right click "reload" menu on QWebView. Thank you.

    Sky.

    What about using your own context menu? That's what I personally do:
    Qt Code:
    1. myBrowser->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Hi Agarny,

    Thank you. That worked like a charm. I guess from next time.. I will post before I try.. :-).
    But.. I still don't get it. I mean when I am blocking all the mouse events how can the browser respond to it with a context menu. I am surely missing something here.

    Hey Agarny,

    Your method works well.. But on flash ( like on youtube videos ) the right click context menu still shows up.. Would you have any ideas how to prevent that too..

    You might want to check the documentation. If I recall correctly QWebBrowser will, by default, use its own context menu, no matter what, hence you should use setContextMenuPolicy if you don't want that default behaviour.

    Sorry, but I wouldn't know about this. I imagine it might be a bug with Qt?

    Why not install the event filter on the webview itself rather than your application? Eg.

    Qt Code:
    1. mWebView->installEventFilter(this);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Hi Squidge,

    Thank you for your suggestion. I implemented it and below is the code. But I was not able to get it to disable the right click on flash videos. And also I ran it through the debugger with a break point in the eventFilter method. And it looks like this eventFilter is never being called.

    It looks like as if the events in QT are broadcasted to all the QObjects in the application. Also please do let me know if you know of any good literature that explains qt event mechanism in detail. Thank you.

    Sky

    Qt Code:
    1. Browser::Browser(QWidget *parent)
    2. : QWebView(parent), m_page(this), m_pXMLHttp(NULL)
    3. {
    4.  
    5. installEventFilter(this);
    6.  
    7. setPage(&m_page);
    8. m_pFrame = page()->mainFrame();
    9.  
    10. m_page.installEventFilter(this);
    11. m_pFrame->installEventFilter(this);
    12. }
    13.  
    14. bool Browser::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
    15. {
    16. if ( (event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress )||
    17. (event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonRelease)||
    18. ( event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick ) )
    19. {
    20. QMouseEvent *mouseEvent = static_cast<QMouseEvent *>(event);
    21. if (mouseEvent->button() == Qt::RightButton)
    22. {
    23. mouseEvent->accept();
    24. return true;
    25. }
    26. }
    27. //return QWebView::eventFilter(obj, event);
    28. return false;
    29. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    The best way if you want just to remove the "Reload" option from standart web view context menu is to use the following:

    myWebView->page()->action(QWebPage::Reload)->setVisible(false);

    (myWebView type is QWebView*)

    If you want to hide any other standart context menu items just look at enum QWebPage::WebAction members

    Hope this helps.

    I just got into the same problem but I also want to make the right click menu dynamically available. I still want to enable the right click menu just for debug purpose. In my case, calling setContextMenuPolicy() was a little awkward so I decided to give installEventFilter() one more try:

    Qt Code:
    1. bool MyObject::eventFilter( QObject *watched, QEvent *event )
    2. {
    3. if( NULL != event )
    4. {
    5. QEvent::Type type = event->type();
    6. if( ! m_bMouseEnabled &&
    7. ( type==QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick ||
    8. type==QEvent::MouseButtonPress ||
    9. type==QEvent::MouseButtonRelease ||
    10. type==QEvent::MouseMove ||
    11. type==QEvent::MouseTrackingChange ||
    12. type==QEvent::ContextMenu ||
    13. type==QEvent::GraphicsSceneContextMenu )
    14. )
    15. {
    16. return true;
    17. }
    18. }
    19. return false;
    20. }
    21.  
    22. void WebKitView::initialize()
    23. {
    24. m_webView->installEventFilter( m_myObj );
    25. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Adding the checking of QEvent::ContextMenu and QEvent::GraphicsSceneContextMenu made it work in my application. I am not sure if this works for flash, tough.

    In a talk by one of the google developers of chromium - about the architecture of chromium,
    he said that flash talks directly to the OS behind the scenes. It acquires its own HWND etc,
    so flash probably gets the right-click directly from the OS, bypassing Qt.
