How to disable right click on web page

Hi all

How to disable right click on web page which is displayed through QWebEngineView in qt?

You could try with an event filter, see QObject::eventFilter().

An event filter allows you to see all events going to another object and deciding whether you want the event to reach the recipient or not.

You need a (direct or indirect) subclass of QObject, implement the eventFilter() method, make it return true for the right mouse button events and install that object on the web engine view as its event filter.

webengview->installEventFilter(this);



bool My_class::eventFilter( QObject * obj, QEvent * event )
{
if (event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress) {
QMouseEvent* m = (QMouseEvent*) event;

m->ignore();
return true;
}

bool val= QObject::eventFilter(obj, event);

QWebEngineView * menu = dynamic_cast<QWebEngineView*>(obj);

if(menu && event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress)
{
QMouseEvent * ev = dynamic_cast<QMouseEvent*>(event);
if(ev)
{
if(ev->button() == Qt::RightButton)
{
ev->ignore();
return false; // yes we filter the event
}

}
}
return val;

}

I have tried with the following code by using event filter but i cant disable the right click


webengview->installEventFilter(this);



bool My_class::eventFilter( QObject * obj, QEvent * event )
{
bool val= QObject::eventFilter(obj, event);

QWebEngineView * menu = dynamic_cast<QWebEngineView*>(obj);

if(menu && event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress)
{
QMouseEvent * ev = dynamic_cast<QMouseEvent*>(event);
if(ev)
{
if(ev->button() == Qt::RightButton)
{
ev->ignore();
return false; // yes we filter the event
}

}
}
return val;

}

Maybe the view is not the recipient after all.

Install the event filter in the QApplication object and check which object gets the mouse press when you press on the view.

QWebEngineView is derived from QWidget, so you can use

setContextMenuPolicy( Qt::NoContextMenu )
or

setContextMenuPolicy( Qt::PreventContextMenu )
to disable the right clicks. Both behave slightly differently and pass the mouse clicks in different ways to the underlying WebPage.
