[Qt-interest] QWebPage in a thread

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi, 
 
Sorry for not responding earlier...
 
See the QWebPage doc for using it without widgets (and thus in other threads).  
 
You can only use QPixmaps in the main GUI thread.  Try rendering to a QImage instead, which should work in any thread.  
 
Tony.

Subject: [Qt-interest] QWebPage in a thread



Hi, does anyone have experience using QWebPage in a threaded environment? 

Currently I'm loading HTML-content into a QWebPage and rendering parts of it to QPixmaps using QWebFrame's render-function. I would like to make this threaded since it takes some time especially with large HTML-pages. I'm wondering if this is possible or if anyone has a better way of doing this? 

Am I right assuming that a QWebPage can't be created outside the GUI-thread? 

PS. What I'm essentially doing is pagination of html-content.
