    Default Subclassing a QWebView

    Hi All,

    I need to solve the issue of navigating links within an iframe with a QWebView. After setting setLinkDelegationPolicy(QWebPage:elegateAllLinks), I check the link and then with the pages I'm not interested in then I open the link but if this link is in an iframe then the QWebView will open the link in the main frame and not the iframe. I know I need to subclass the QWebView and the closest example I get is here:

    http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/2299...nd-form-submit

    but I can't find a full code example ( .h and .cpp ) and my attempts produce linker errors. I guess a guru could set this up in less than 5 minutes but I've spent hours and hours on this

    As mentioned, I've seen a few solutions and at least one where somebody solves with JavaScript. I would appreciate help and I'm sure others would appreciate a small example. I don't know if this should have been posted in the advanced section?

    Thanks!!

    What exactly is the problem? What errors are you getting?

    Hi Wysota,

    Thanks for the reply. I have solved the linking errors but I need to know how to navigate pages within a iframe or frameset rather than the top main frame. As far as I understand then I am supposed to over ride navigation request in the subclassed QWebView something like:


    bool MyWebView::acceptNavigationRequest(QWebFrame *frame, const QNetworkRequest &request, QWebPage::NavigationType type)
    {
    //Q_UNUSED(frame)
    if (type == NavigationTypeLinkClicked) {
    switch (d->linkPolicy) {
    case DontDelegateLinks:
    return true;

    case DelegateExternalLinks:
    if (WebCore::SchemeRegistry::shouldTreatURLSchemeAsLo cal(request.url().scheme()))
    return true;
    emit linkClicked(request.url());
    return false;

    case DelegateAllLinks:
    emit linkClicked(request.url());
    frame->load(QUrl("http://www.google.com/")); // Need to analyse first
    qDebug() << "LINK HAS BEEN CLICKED";
    return true;
    }
    }
    return true;
    }

    It is obviously wrong as I will get all sorts of errors such as:

    "error: use of undeclared identifier 'NavigationTypeLinkClicked'
    if (type == NavigationTypeLinkClicked) {
    ^"

    and

    "error: 'd' is a private member of 'QWebView'
    switch (d->linkPolicy) {"

    and

    "error: member access into incomplete type 'QWebViewPrivate'
    switch (d->linkPolicy) {
    ^
    ^"

    So I need an overview or quick example of how to cater for iframe navigation in a subclassed QWebView.

    FYI

    I have subclassed a QWebPag to specify a specific useragent and that works OK.

    I'm sure newbies would appreciate a full example of navigating within iframes as other solutions just state override the acceptNavigationRequest method to access the specific frame.

    Regards & Thanks

    I'm not sure what the problem is... The web frame is the method's parameter, you can access it there...

    Wysota,

    First of all - thanks for your time, appreciated! I've made some progress.

    I have a subclassed QWebPage

    I have this:


    *****************
    bool MyCustomWebPage::acceptNavigationRequest(QWebFrame *frame, const QNetworkRequest &request, QWebPage::NavigationType type)
    {


    if (frame->parentFrame() != 0){
    if (type == NavigationTypeLinkClicked) {
    //frame->setUrl(request.url()); // THIS FAILS
    frame->setUrl(QUrl("http://www.google.co.uk")); // this works now and changes the URL in the frame
    // I Need to analyse the querystring parameters first
    }
    }
    qDebug() << "LINK HAS BEEN CLICKED"; // Just Checking where I am
    return true;
    }
    ******************

    Note this works with no setLinkDelegationPolicy(QWebPage:elegateAllLinks); NOT being set

    Notice that:

    frame->setUrl(request.url()); // THIS FAILS

    With

    error: member access into incomplete type 'const QNetworkRequest'
    frame->setUrl(request.url()); // Need to analyse first
    ^

    on the setUrl() method

    So

    a) I need to analyse the url

    b) I need to shut of that error

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards

    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QNetworkRequest>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    BTW. Please use the [code] tags.

    Wysota,

    Bingo! That does the job nicely. Thank you.

    Point taken on the code tags.
