Detailed Description

A web engine page holds the contents of an HTML document, the history of navigated links, and actions.

QWebEnginePage ‘s API is very similar to QWebEngineView , as you are still provided with common functions like action() (known as pageAction () in QWebEngineView ), triggerAction() , and findText() .

A page can be loaded using load() or setUrl() . Alternatively, if you have the HTML content readily available, you can use setHtml() . The GET method is always used to load URLs.

The QWebEnginePage class also offers methods to retrieve both the URL currently loaded by the page (see url() ) as well as the URL originally requested to be loaded (see requestedUrl() ). These methods make possible the retrieval of the URL before and after a DNS resolution or a redirection occurs during the load process. The requestedUrl() also matches to the URL added to the page history ( QWebEngineHistory ) if load is successful.

The title of an HTML page can be accessed with the title() property. Additionally, a page may also specify an icon, which can be accessed using the icon() or its URL using the iconUrl() property. If the title or the icon changes, the corresponding titleChanged() , iconChanged() and iconUrlChanged() signals will be emitted. The zoomFactor() property enables zooming the contents of the web page by a scale factor.

The loadStarted() signal is emitted when the page begins to load, whereas the loadProgress() signal is emitted whenever an element of the web page completes loading, such as an embedded image or a script. The loadFinished() signal is emitted when the page contents have been loaded completely, independent of script execution or page rendering. Its argument, either true or false, indicates whether or not the load operation succeeded.

An HTML document is loaded in a main frame within the web page. If it references child frames (as defined by the <frame> or <iframe> elements), they are considered part of the content. Child frames are individually accessible only through JavaScript.

Web sites define security origin for safely accessing each other’s resources for client-side scripting or databases. An origin consist of a host name, a scheme, and a port number. For example, the sites http://www.example.com/my/page.html and http://www.example.com/my/overview.html are allowed to share the same database or access each other’s documents when used in HTML frame sets and JavaScript. At the same time, http://www.malicious.com/evil.html is prevented from accessing the resources of http://www.example.com/, because they are of a different security origin. By default, local schemes like file:// and qrc:// are considered to be in the same security origin, and can access each other’s resources. Local resources are by default restricted from accessing remote content, which means that file:// will not be able to access http://domain.com/foo.html.

Scripts can be executed on the web page by using runJavaScript() , either in the main JavaScript world, along with the rest of the JavaScript coming from the web contents, or in their own isolated world. While the DOM of the page can be accessed from any world, JavaScript variables of a function defined in one world are not accessible from a different one. ScriptWorldId provides some predefined IDs for this purpose. Using the runJavaScript() version without the world ID is the same as running the script in the MainWorld.

The FocusOnNavigationEnabled setting can be used to make the view associated with the page automatically receive focus when a navigation operation occurs (like loading or reloading a page or navigating through history).

_q_aboutToDelete()

acceptAsNewWindow(request)

Parameters:

request – QWebEngineNewWindowRequest

acceptNavigationRequest(url, type, isMainFrame)

Parameters:

• url – QUrl

• type – NavigationType

• isMainFrame – bool

Return type:

bool

This function is called upon receiving a request to navigate to the specified url by means of the specified navigation type type. isMainFrame indicates whether the request corresponds to the main frame or a child frame. If the function returns true, the navigation request is accepted and url is loaded. The default implementation accepts all navigation requests.

Navigation requests can be delegated to the Qt application instead of having the HTML handler engine process them by overloading this function. This is necessary when an HTML document is used as part of the user interface, and not to display external data, for example, when displaying a list of results.

Note

This function is not called for fragment navigation on the same page. Such navigation, for example, happens by clicking a link to a ‘#fragment’ within the page. It does not trigger a load to a different document, even though it changes page’s url and adds history entry. It only serves as a shortcut to scroll within the page. Hence, no delegation of this navigation type is expected to happen.

Note

The loading process is started and the loadStarted() signal is emitted before the request is accepted or rejected. Therefore, a loadFinished() signal that returns false is to be expected even after delegating the request.

Note

When using setHtml or setContent with relative links, make sure to specify a base url, otherwise the links will be considered invalid and no navigation requests will be emitted.

The QWebEngineUrlRequestInterceptor class offers further options for intercepting and manipulating requests.

action(action)

Parameters:

action – WebAction

Return type:

QAction

Returns a QAction for the specified WebAction action.

The action is owned by the QWebEnginePage but you can customize the look by changing its properties.

The returned action does not have a default styled icon. Use pageAction() to have an action with a default styled icon.

QWebEnginePage also takes care of implementing the action, so that upon triggering the corresponding action is performed on the page.

See also

triggerAction()

audioMutedChanged(muted)

Parameters:

muted – bool

This signal is emitted when the page’s muted state changes.

Note

Not to be confused with a specific HTML5 audio or video element being muted.

Notification signal of property audioMutedᅟ .

authenticationRequired(requestUrl, authenticator)

Parameters:

• requestUrl – QUrl

• authenticator – QAuthenticator

This signal is emitted when access to requestUrl requires authentication. authenticator should be used to pass the user name and password for the connection.

backgroundColor()

Return type:

QColor

See also

setBackgroundColor()

Getter of property backgroundColorᅟ .

certificateError(certificateError)

Parameters:

certificateError – QWebEngineCertificateError

This signal is emitted when an invalid certificate error is raised while loading a given request.

The certificateError parameter contains information about the certificate and details of the error, it also provides the way to ignore the error and complete the request or stop loading the request.

See also

QWebEngineCertificateError

chooseFiles(mode, oldFiles, acceptedMimeTypes)

Parameters:

• mode – FileSelectionMode

• oldFiles – list of strings

• acceptedMimeTypes – list of strings

Return type:

list of strings

This function is called when the web content requests a file name, for example as a result of the user clicking on a file upload button in an HTML form.

mode indicates whether only one file or multiple files are expected to be returned.

A suggested filename may be provided as the first entry of oldFiles. acceptedMimeTypes is ignored by the default implementation, but might be used by overrides.

contentsSize()

Return type:

QSizeF

Getter of property contentsSizeᅟ .

contentsSizeChanged(size)

Parameters:

size – QSizeF

Notification signal of property contentsSizeᅟ .

createWindow(type)

Parameters:

type – WebWindowType

Return type:

QWebEnginePage

This function is called to create a new window of the specified type. For example, when a JavaScript program requests to open a document in a new window.

If the new window can be created, the new window’s QWebEnginePage is returned; otherwise a null pointer is returned.

If the view associated with the web page is a QWebEngineView object, then the default implementation forwards the request to createWindow() ; otherwise it returns a null pointer.

If this call is not implemented or does not return a new page, newWindowRequested() is emitted to handle the request.

Note

In the cases when the window creation is being triggered by JavaScript, apart from reimplementing this method the application must also set JavascriptCanOpenWindows to true in order for the method to get called.

See also

createWindow() newWindowRequested()

desktopMediaRequested(request)

Parameters:

request – QWebEngineDesktopMediaRequest

This signal is emitted when a web application requests access to the contents of a display.

The request argument holds references to data models for windows and screens available for capturing. To accept the request, the signal handler can call either selectScreen() or selectWindow() .

devToolsId()

Return type:

str

Returns the id of the developer tools host associated with this page.

If remote debugging is enabled (see Qt WebEngine Developer Tools ), the id can be used to build the URL to connect to the developer tool websocket: ws://localhost:<debugggin-port>/devtools/page/<id>). The websocket can be used to to interact with the page using the DevTools Protocol .

devToolsPage()

Return type:

QWebEnginePage

Returns the page that is hosting the developer tools of this page, if any.

Returns nullptr if no developer tools page is set.

See also

setDevToolsPage() inspectedPage()

download(url[, filename=""])

Parameters:

• url – QUrl

• filename – str

Downloads the resource from the location given by url to a local file.

If filename is given, it is used as the suggested file name. If it is relative, the file is saved in the standard download location with the given name. If it is a null or empty QString, the default file name is used.

This will emit downloadRequested() after the download has started.

featurePermissionRequestCanceled(securityOrigin, feature)

Parameters:

• securityOrigin – QUrl

• feature – Feature

Note

This function is deprecated.

This signal is no longer emitted.

This signal is emitted when the web site identified by securityOrigin cancels a previously issued request to make use of feature.

See also

featurePermissionRequested() setFeaturePermission()

featurePermissionRequested(securityOrigin, feature)

Parameters:

• securityOrigin – QUrl

• feature – Feature

Note

This function is deprecated.

Use permissionRequested() instead.

This signal is emitted when the web site identified by securityOrigin requests to make use of the resource or device identified by feature.

See also

featurePermissionRequestCanceled() setFeaturePermission()

fileSystemAccessRequested(request)

Parameters:

request – QWebEngineFileSystemAccessRequest

This signal is emitted when the web page requests access to local files or directories.

The request object request can be used to accept or reject the request.

findFrameByName(name)

Parameters:

name – str

Return type:

QWebEngineFrame

Returns the frame with the given name. If there are multiple frames with the same name, which one is returned is arbitrary. If no frame was found, returns None.

findText(subString[, options={}])

Parameters:

• subString – str

• options – Combination of FindFlag

findText(subString, options, resultCallback)

Parameters:

• subString – str

• options – Combination of FindFlag

• resultCallback – PyCallable

Finds the specified string, subString, in the page, using the given options. The findTextFinished() signal is emitted when a string search is completed.

To clear the search highlight, just pass an empty string.

The resultCallback must take a QWebEngineFindTextResult parameter.

Note

We guarantee that the resultCallback is always called, but it might be done during page destruction. When QWebEnginePage is deleted, the callback is triggered with an invalid value and it is not safe to use the corresponding QWebEnginePage, QWebEngineFrame, or QWebEngineView instance inside it.

findTextFinished(result)

Parameters:

• securityOrigin – QUrl

• msg – str

Return type:

bool

This function is called whenever a JavaScript program running in a frame affiliated with securityOrigin calls the confirm() function with the message msg. Returns true if the user confirms the message; otherwise returns false.

It is also called when the onbeforeunload handler is requesting a confirmation before leaving a page.

The default implementation executes the query using QMessageBox::information with QMessageBox::Ok and QMessageBox::Cancel buttons.

Parameters:

• level – JavaScriptConsoleMessageLevel

• message – str

• lineNumber – int

• sourceID – str

This function is called when a JavaScript program tries to print the message to the web browser’s console.

For example, in case of evaluation errors the source URL may be provided in sourceID as well as the lineNumber.

level indicates the severity of the event that triggered the message. That is, whether it was triggered by an error or a less severe event.

Since Qt 5.6, the default implementation logs the messages in a js logging category.

See also

Console Logging

javaScriptPrompt(securityOrigin, msg, defaultValue)

Parameters:

• securityOrigin – QUrl

• msg – str

• defaultValue – str

Return type:

bool

This function is called whenever a JavaScript program running in a frame affiliated with securityOrigin tries to prompt the user for input. The program may provide an optional message, msg, as well as a default value for the input in defaultValue.

If the prompt was cancelled by the user, the implementation should return false; otherwise the result should be written to result and true should be returned. If the prompt was not cancelled by the user, the implementation should return true and the result string must not be null.

The default implementation uses QInputDialog::getText().

This signal is emitted when the page finishes loading content. This signal is independent of script execution or page rendering. ok will indicate whether the load was successful or any error occurred.

Note

Navigation requests can be delegated to the Qt application instead of having the HTML handler engine process them by overloading the acceptNavigationRequest() function. Because the loading process is started and the loadStarted() signal is emitted before the request is accepted or rejected, a loadFinished() signal that returns false is to be expected even after delegating the request.

See also

loadStarted() acceptNavigationRequest()

loadProgress(progress)

Parameters:

progress – int

This signal is emitted when the global progress status changes. The current value is provided by progress and scales from 0 to 100, which is the default range of QProgressBar. It accumulates changes from all the child frames.

See also

acceptNavigationRequest()

newWindowRequested(request)

Parameters:

request – QWebEngineNewWindowRequest

This signal is emitted when request is issued to load a page in a separate web engine window. This can either be because the current page requested it explicitly through a JavaScript call to window.open, or because the user clicked on a link while holding Shift, Ctrl, or a built-in combination that triggers the page to open in a new window.

The signal is handled by calling openIn() with the new page on the request. If this signal is not handled, the requested load will fail.

Note

This signal is not emitted if createWindow() handled the request first.

See also

createWindow() openIn()

pdfPrintingFinished(filePath, success)

Runs the JavaScript code contained in scriptSource script on this frame, without checking whether the DOM of the page has been constructed.

To avoid conflicts with other scripts executed on the page, the world in which the script is run is specified by worldId. The world ID values are the same as provided by QWebEngineScript.ScriptWorldId, and between 0 and 256. If you leave out the world ID, the script is run in the MainWorld (0).

When the script has been executed, the callable resultCallback is called with the result of the last executed statement.

Only plain data can be returned from JavaScript as the result value.

Note

Do not execute lengthy routines in the callback function, because it might block the rendering of the web engine page.

Note

We guarantee that the resultCallback is always called, but it might be done during page destruction. When QWebEnginePage is deleted, the callback is triggered with an invalid value and it is not safe to use the corresponding QWebEnginePage, QWebEngineFrame, or QWebEngineView instance inside it.

• mimeType – str

• baseUrl – QUrl

Sets the content of the web page to data. If the mimeType argument is empty, it is assumed that the content is text/plain,charset=US-ASCII.

External objects referenced in the content are located relative to baseUrl. For external objects with relative URLs to be loaded, baseUrl cannot be empty.

The data is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously.

Note

This method will not affect session or global history for the page.

Warning

The content will be percent encoded before being sent to the renderer via IPC. This may increase its size. The maximum size of the percent encoded content is 2 megabytes minus 6 bytes plus the length of the mime type string.

See also

toHtml() setHtml()

setDevToolsPage(page)

Parameters:

page – QWebEnginePage

Binds devToolsPage to be the developer tools of this page. Triggers devToolsPage to navigate to an internal URL with the developer tools.

This is the same as calling setInspectedPage() on devToolsPage with this as argument.

See also

devToolsPage() setInspectedPage()

setFeaturePermission(securityOrigin, feature, policy)

Parameters:

• securityOrigin – QUrl

• feature – Feature

• policy – PermissionPolicy

Note

This function is deprecated.

Use QWebEnginePermission ‘s grant (), deny (), and reset () functions instead.

Sets the permission for the web site identified by securityOrigin to use feature to policy.

Note

This method is primarily for calling after a featurePermissionRequested() signal has been emitted to trigger the feature permission response. It can also be called before a request has been emitted, but will only set a granted permission for passive checks, mainly for Notification APIs that can check if permission has already been granted before explicitly requesting it.

See also

featurePermissionRequested() featurePermissionRequestCanceled()

setHtml(html[, baseUrl=QUrl()])

Parameters:

• html – str

• baseUrl – QUrl

Sets the content of this page to html. baseUrl is optional and used to resolve relative URLs in the document, such as referenced images or stylesheets.

The html is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously.

If a script in the html runs longer than the default script timeout (currently 10 seconds), for example due to being blocked by a modal JavaScript alert dialog, this method will return as soon as possible after the timeout and any subsequent html will be loaded asynchronously.

When using this method, the web engine assumes that external resources, such as JavaScript programs or style sheets, are encoded in UTF-8 unless otherwise specified. For example, the encoding of an external script can be specified through the charset attribute of the HTML script tag. It is also possible for the encoding to be specified by the web server.

This is a convenience function equivalent to setContent (html, “text/html”, baseUrl).

Note

This method will not affect session or global history for the page.

Warning

This function works only for HTML, for other mime types (such as XHTML and SVG) setContent() should be used instead.

Warning

The content will be percent encoded before being sent to the renderer via IPC. This may increase its size. The maximum size of the percent encoded content is 2 megabytes minus 30 bytes.
