[jsulm]

@mikeeeeee QWebView is outdated and should not be used anymore, use QtWebEngine instead.

@jsulm You might be mixing QtWebKit's QWebView class with the QtWebView module which goal is to provide a native web component on platform that have one. On platform that do not, IRCC, QtWebEngine is used a backend.

@Mikeeeeee from the QtWebView module C++ documentation: The Qt WebView module provides functionality to initialize the backend for using the WebView QML type.

So if you want to use the WebView QML type in a C++ application, you'll likely have to use the QQuickWidget class.

I don't understand. WebView in C++ has a signal about the need to download files. How do I transfer this to QML?
