QWebEngineView Open In External Browser

Question

I'm in the process of moving my code from QtWebKit to QtWebEngine. In general, the transition has been fairly smooth, however, I'm stuck on one particular issue. I use a QWebEngineView to display a Google Maps page. Some of the markers placed have have infowindows that pop up "Click Here for More Information" which opens the link in an external browser.

Using QtWebKit, this was fairly easy through the setLinkDelegation policy. However, it seems a little more complex here. I've tried to follow the example but somehow I need to redefine QWebEnginePage within QWebEngineView. Below is what I've come up with so far. Any idea how I can actually connect this all up?

Thanks

#ifndef MYQWEBENGINEVIEW_H
#define MYQWEBENGINEVIEW_H

#include <QWebEngineView>
#include <QDesktopServices>

class MyQWebEnginePage : public QWebEnginePage
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    MyQWebEnginePage(QObject* parent = 0) : QWebEnginePage(parent){}

    bool acceptNavigationRequest(const QUrl & url, QWebEnginePage::NavigationType type, bool isMainFrame)
    {
         qDebug() << "acceptNavigationRequest("<<url << "," << type << "," << isMainFrame<<")";

        if (type == QWebEnginePage::NavigationTypeLinkClicked)
        {
            QDesktopServices::openUrl(url);
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
};


class MyQWebEngineView : public QWebEngineView
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    MyQWebEngineView(QWidget* parent = 0);
    MyQWebEnginePage* page() const;

};

#endif // MYQWEBENGINEVIEW_H

did you tried setPage ? `void QWebEngineView::setPage(QWebEnginePage *page)` — CapelliC, Feb 11 '16 at 17:07
I just gave it a shot. I believe you mean something like this: `MyQWebEnginePage thisPage; ui->map->setPage(thisPage);` However, that results in an error about an incorrect type. — goalie39, Feb 11 '16 at 18:01
why not pointers ? should be `auto thisPage = new MyQWebEnginePage ` — CapelliC, Feb 11 '16 at 18:08

You don't need the second part. Try this:

QWebEngineView *view = new QWebEngineView();
MyQWebEnginePage *page = new MyQWebEnginePage();
view->setPage(page);
