QML QtWebView unable to load page on Windows 7

Alexorleon

Hi!
I created a simple app for a test of webview.
On Ubuntu 14.04 (Qt5.6.0, GCC 4.9.1, 64 bit) it works great. But on Windows 7 (Qt5.6.1, MSVC 2013, 32 bit) when i'm trying to load this page, there is only a white page. Any page.

.pro

QT += qml quick webview

main.cpp

#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
#include <QtWebView>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
    QtWebView::initialize();

    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));

    return app.exec();
}

main.qml

import QtQuick 2.6
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtWebView 1.0

Window {
    id: main
    visible: true
    width: 1280
    height: 720

WebView {
        id: webview
        anchors.fill: parent
        url: "https://forum.qt.io/"
    }
}

What should I turn on or something?
Thanks for help.

@Alexorleon Are you using official Qt binaries on Windows? In this case you need to compile QtWebKit from sources, which can be downloaded here: http://download.qt.io/community_releases/5.6/5.6.1/

@Konstantin-Tokarev yes! Ok, I'll try. Thank you. Topic closed after.

I replaced the WebView to WebEngineView. Works great.

.pro

QT += qml quick webengine

main.cpp

#include <QtWebEngine/qtwebengineglobal.h>

QtWebEngine::initialize();

main.qml

import QtWebEngine 1.0

WebEngineView {
            id: webview
            anchors.fill: parent
            url: "http://forum.qt.io/"
    }

Hi,

@Alexorleon the qtwebview module can be used on platform that provides a "native web view" like iOS, macOS, Android and WinRT.

@SGaist thanks, I'll keep it in mind.
