Qt – How to display local HTML in QWebview

qtqwebview

I suspect this is so basic that no one bothered to document it.

I want to write an HTML file from my program, and then load that file into a QWebview object.

When I have QtCreator open, I can navigate to the file in the URL block on the right and it displays within QtCreator. When I compile and run the program, the window is white and blank.

I also don't want the directory hardcoded, I want it to use the current directory.

So I guess there are two questions:

  1. How do I write the ??? in the following to get the QWebview object named "reportView" to display my local file?
ui->reportView->load(QUrl("???"));
  1. Why does the QWebview object remain blank? I suspect a problem connecting to Google Docs because I get this error:
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSLv23_client_method
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSL_CTX_new
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSL_library_init
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function ERR_get_error

Thank you.

From the web

webView->load(QUrl("http://google.de"));

From resource

webView->load(QUrl("qrc:///sample.html"));

From File System

webView->load(QUrl("file:///C:/sample.htm"));

No need for QUrl::FromLocalFile, no need for webView->show()

You are all welcome!
