      In that case, you will have to wait a little I am afraid. There is a bug report open to add such a feature, but no patch has been posted yet: "https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38520":https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38520

      Feel free to post a patch if you want to help.

          You could look at how -webkit-user-select is implemented. Disabling selection is probably using the same path.

                Wow here is way you can do it
                @
                QApplication a(argc, argv);
                QWebView *view = new QWebView;
                view->load(QUrl("http://google.com"));
                view->page()->settings()->setUserStyleSheetUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile("mycss.css"));
                view->show();
                return a.exec();@

                your css file should be like this:

                body {
                -webkit-user-select: none;
                }

                  You know what, I just tried putting the css thing in resource file and now I can see it is part of my binary so no need of css file. function setUserStyleSheetUrl() is dong the job of disabling selection.

                      your submitted code is very helpful for disable the selection on text and image.
                      but your code is not helpful in case while user drag the image with press button.

                        bool QWebView::findText ( const QString & subString, QWebPage::FindFlags options = 0 )
                        To clear the selection, just pass an empty string.

                          @kmsharad83 This is what I do in jQuery. You can adapt it to your needs:

                          $(document).ready(function(){
                            // Prevent anchor links and buttons and .nodrag items from being dragged
                            $('A,BUTTON,.nodrag,IMG')
                              .css('-moz-user-select','none')
                              .css('-webkit-user-select','none')
                              .bind('selectstart', function(e) {
                                e.preventDefault();
                                return false;
                              })
                              .bind('draggesture', function(e) {
                                e.preventDefault();
                                return false;
                              })
                              .bind('draggable', function(e) {
                                e.preventDefault();
                                return false;
                              })
                              .bind('dragstart', function(e) {
                                e.preventDefault();
                                return false;
                              });
                          });
