I just checked the WebWindowType being triggered from QWebPage. It's 1 which is WebBrowserWindow.

I want to make it WebBrowserTab.

Kindly help me to open the link in a new tab instead of new window.

[wysota]

WebView does not have "tabs". For a browser that is a separate window and what you do with that window (e.g. make it a tab) is your own responsibility.

Thanks Wysota for the info.

I have resolved it. Now I am able to open the link in a new tab.
