Hi
I would like to get the HTML page displayed with QWebView as a QImage. I have seen that it could be possible using QWidget::render, but I don't know how to obtain from QPainter a QPixmap or a QImage object.
thanks
Bogdan

It is exactly what I need.

happy new year !

I still have a problem because when the page is too large the scroll bar is displayed. I have tried the following code:

textView_ = new QWebView();
textView_->page()->setNetworkAccessManager(&model_);
connect(textView_, SIGNAL(loadFinished(bool)), this, SLOT(onLoadFinished(bool)));
textView_->load(QUrl::fromLocalFile(pageName));
eventloop_.exec();//wait for load to complete
textView_->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::Ignored);
QImage image = QPixmap::grabWidget(textView_).toImage();

but I still get the standard size of the widget with the vertical scroll bar displayed. How can I force QWebView to display the entire web page with no scroll bars (I do not want to hide the scroll bars, but to display completely the web page into the widget) ?

I have came up with the following solution:

QWebFrame *webFrame = webView_->page()->mainFrame();
webFrame->setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Vertical, Qt:crollBarAlwaysOff);
webFrame->setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Horizontal, Qt:crollBarAlwaysOff);
webView_->setGeometry(QRect(QPoint(0, 0), webFrame->contentsSize()));
return QPixmap::grabWidget(webView_).toImage();

which does what it should, but this code should be run only from the GUI thread, otherwise I get warnings since QPixmap cannot be used in other threads. This raises another question: Is there a way to use QPixmap outside the GUI thread ? I need to do so since my application needs to handle different document formats among which CHM, so that some pages (in this case HTML files) are loaded in a worker thread.
