How to emulate linkClicked(QUrl) signal in QWebEnginePage similar to QWebPage

[ejoshva]

I am porting from QGraphicsWebView from QWebEngineView

I want to emit linkClicked(QUrl) signal, when a href is clicked on the QWebEnginePage similar to the ones found in QWebPage.

The signals found in QWebEnginePage are as below but not able to find linkClicked(QUrl).

void	authenticationRequired(const QUrl & requestUrl, QAuthenticator * authenticator)
void	featurePermissionRequestCanceled(const QUrl & securityOrigin, QWebEnginePage::Feature feature)
void	featurePermissionRequested(const QUrl & securityOrigin, QWebEnginePage::Feature feature)
void	geometryChangeRequested(const QRect & geom)
void	iconUrlChanged(const QUrl & url)
void	linkHovered(const QString & url)
void	loadFinished(bool ok)
void	loadProgress(int progress)
void	loadStarted()
void	proxyAuthenticationRequired(const QUrl & requestUrl, QAuthenticator * authenticator, const QString & proxyHost)
void	selectionChanged()
void	titleChanged(const QString & title)
void	urlChanged(const QUrl & url)
void	windowCloseRequested()

void	authenticationRequired(const QUrl & requestUrl, QAuthenticator * authenticator)
void	featurePermissionRequestCanceled(const QUrl & securityOrigin, QWebEnginePage::Feature feature)
void	featurePermissionRequested(const QUrl & securityOrigin, QWebEnginePage::Feature feature)
void	geometryChangeRequested(const QRect & geom)
void	iconUrlChanged(const QUrl & url)
void	linkHovered(const QString & url)
void	loadFinished(bool ok)
void	loadProgress(int progress)
void	loadStarted()
void	proxyAuthenticationRequired(const QUrl & requestUrl, QAuthenticator * authenticator, const QString & proxyHost)
void	selectionChanged()
void	titleChanged(const QString & title)
void	urlChanged(const QUrl & url)
void	windowCloseRequested()

How to emulate linkClickedSignal(QUrl)

Any help will be of great use. Thanks

My guess would be that the signal you are looking for is urlChanged().

url(Changed) doesn't passes the href clicked. It just passes the url of the currently loaded page.

What if you read the requestedUrl when the signal occurs?

I am able to navigate to the page , when the link is clicked(). Here it happens implicitly unlike QGraphicsWebView where in we have to capture the url on clicking the link and set again to the webview.

Now the issue for me is , the link is a download link
