[webkit-qt] QGraphicsWebView - resize to contents - Help?

Tue Mar 22 13:01:11 PDT 2011

You do not need resize to contents to remove scrollbars.
You can call 

setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Vertical, Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Horizontal, Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);

on mainframe() and use setScrollPosition to scroll.
You can do finger kinetic scrolling through setScrollPosition .

Misha, 
I must be missing the point then. Please help me understand.

My issue is not actually with the scroll position; it is with the size of
the QGraphicsWebView. 

The problem: I create the QGraphicsWebView and add it to a graphicsscene. By
default the size is 640x480 (I believe). When I load a page it will not
resize itself automatically, it will add scrollbars if the main
frame/contents are larger than 640x480. Instead of using the "scroll bars"
on the frame, I want to implement a finger kinetic scrolling. Pretty much
like http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-maemo/maemo5-graphicswebview.html but not
just for maemo (the example resizes the QGraphicsWebView ONLY after loading
the page).

To accomplish this I need to resize the QGraphicsWebView to the size of the
mainframe everytime it changes so, in theory, no scrollbars would be needed.
My GraphicsView then will be in charge of handling any scrolling. The issue,
like I said before, is that the page (gmail mobile) will resize the contents
when I change the size of the QGraphicsWebView. 

The more I think about this issue, the more I believe is not actually a
Webkit bug. It is an issue with the web site that ALWAYS tries to have a
scrollbar regardless of the size of the window. If anything, the bug with
Webkit is to "allow for the infinite" loop when using resizeToContents. But
I still have to wonder how the other browsers handle it (safari, android,
...)

I have done this using QWebView but was trying to do the same using
QGrahicsWebView to see if it would be any better (especially on symbian)

Thanks,
Felipe

Felipe,

My point was that you can use QGraphicsWebView without re-size to 
content. This would mean that your scrolling will use webkit 
setScrollPosition and not QGraphicsItem::setPos(). You can still use 
scale() for zooming. The downside of it that on some pages fixed 
positioned elements might cover big portion of the phone screen (things 
like flying banners etc). On the other hand you will use webkit as 
designed. IMHO, re-size to contents is a hackish solution and it has 
issues with JavaScript. In order to use it you need to call 
QWebPage::setActualVisibleContentRect() every time when you get 
scrollRequested signal from webkit or when you have resize event. 
setActualVisibleContentRect() will basically update the webkit scroll 
position - similar to what you've tried to do.
