Opening a URL in a widget using QTWebEngineView

[James Sprinks]

Hi All

I want to open up a webpage, but display it in a widget other than centralWidget, how do I do this?

My code:

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include <QUrl>
#include <QWebEngineView>

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    view = new QWebEngineView(this);
    connect(ui->web, SIGNAL(clicked(bool)),this,SLOT(webclick()));
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::webclick()
{
    QUrl site("http://www.gogle.co.uk");
    view->load(site);
}

i have a a widget labelled ui->screen in which I want to display the website.

You have to add a layout to that widget (call it screenLayout then from the constructor call ui->screenLayout->addWidget(view);

or, if you want ui->screen to become the view then remove view altogether, right click on ui->screen in designer and promote to QWebEngineView then directly call ui->screen->load(site)

@VRonin Hoq do I add a layout?

Also, it will not let me promote the widget to QtWebEngineView....

right click on the widget->layout

it will not let me promote the widget to QWebEngineView

then add, select it and click promote
