Context: I'm creating a small web browser with a custom on-screen keyboard.
It was working almost fine with Qt WebKit (QWeb* classes) but there were crashes attributed to bugs in WebKit... which won't be fixed after Qt 5.4.0 since they're moving to Qt WebEngine.
So I decided to move the stuff to Qt WebEngine (QWebEngine* classes), following the short webkit->webengine transition guide.
Following the caveat section on QWebElement, I have worked my way around showing/hiding the on-screen keyboard (which now requires running async. JS code).
But I'm scratching my head on how to send artificial key events to the web page.
I have tried the some stuff:
QCoreApplication::postEvent(m_webview, event) doesn't do anything, when it was working with the old QWeb stuff;Thanks,
I guess the only possibility to achieve this right now would be to
make use of QAction to send an event to the WebView by using for example something like that:
connect( this , SIGNAL( keyPressed( int ) ) , &m_webview , SLOT( handleKey( int ) ) );
I suppose the functionality will be added in Qt 5.5.1 as you can see below:
