‘QWebView’ does not name a type

[___Jan___]

Hello

I get error

 error: ‘QWebView’ does not name a type

although I have

#include <QtWebView/QtWebView>

what does not work:

#include<QWebView>

Ubuntu 14.04 OS

I use QT5 with VTK 6 if this is needed.

Hi,

If you are thinking about the QtWebView module, did you add:

QT += webview

to your pro file ?

Hello

forgot to mention it is a CMakeProject.

find_package (Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets Core WebKit)

is included. Not sure if WebKit is the right module name, tried to look this up.

[SGaist]

So your are using the QWebView from webkit, IIRC, you would also need the webkitwidgets module

Hi @Jan,

It is confusing, but "QWebView" does not come from "Qt WebView". Instead, it comes from "Qt WebKit Widgets", like @SGaist said.

Qt WebView is mainly for mobile platforms to use the native web engine.

Thanks for the help, I will test out (right now I do not have this setup anymore). Just one more quick question:
the module name is WebKitWidgets? So

find_package (Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets Core WebKitWidgets)

will work?
and then in the include:

#include <QtWebKitWidgets>

Thanks alot

I'm not sure, sorry. I don't use CMake.

and then in the include:

#include <QtWebKitWidgets>

No need to include the whole module. Just include the class you want: #include <QWebView>
