Detailed Description

WebView is a component for displaying web content which is implemented using native APIs on the platforms where this is available, thus it does not necessarily require including a full web browser stack as part of the application.

To make the Qt WebView module function correctly across all platforms, it is necessary to call QtWebView::initialize() right after creating the QGuiApplication instance.

Note: Due to platform limitations overlapping the WebView and other QML components is not supported.

Property Documentation

[read-only] canGoBack : bool

Holds true if it's currently possible to navigate back in the web history.


[read-only] canGoForward : bool

Holds true if it's currently possible to navigate forward in the web history.


[since QtWebView 1.14] httpUserAgent : url

[read-only] loadProgress : int

The current load progress of the web content, represented as an integer between 0 and 100.


[read-only] loading : bool

Holds true if the WebView is currently in the process of loading new content, false otherwise.

This property was introduced in QtWebView 6.5.

See also WebViewSettings.


[read-only] title : string

The title of the currently loaded web page.


url : url

The URL is used as-is. URLs that originate from user input should be parsed with QUrl::fromUserInput().

Signal Documentation

cookieAdded(string domain, string name)

This signal is emitted when a cookie is added.

The parameters provide information about the domain and the name of the added cookie.

Note: When Qt WebEngine module is used as backend, cookieAdded signal will be emitted for any cookie added to the underlying QWebEngineCookieStore, including those added by websites. In other cases cookieAdded signal is only emitted for cookies explicitly added with setCookie().

Note: The corresponding handler is onCookieAdded.


cookieRemoved(string domain, string name)

This signal is emitted when a cookie is deleted.

The parameters provide information about the domain and the name of the deleted cookie.

Note: The corresponding handler is onCookieRemoved.


loadingChanged(WebViewLoadRequest loadRequest)

This signal is emitted when the state of loading the web content changes. By handling this signal it's possible, for example, to react to page load errors.

The loadRequest parameter holds the url and status of the request, as well as an errorString containing an error message for a failed request.

Note: The corresponding handler is onLoadingChanged.

See also WebViewLoadRequest.

For example, if html is retrieved from http://www.example.com/documents/overview.html, which is the base URL, then an image referenced with the relative url, diagram.png, should be at http://www.example.com/documents/diagram.png.

Note: The WebView does not support loading content through the Qt Resource system.
