WebView::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)

[BerenScott]

Hello,

I am trying to place a call to keyPressEvent which basically hits the
enter key. Could someone please tell me how to structure that call?

Something like:

keyPressEvent(blah blah blah);

What do I put in blah blah blah?

This is a callback method, you need to overload it, not call it directly.

What are you trying to do? emulate a keypress?

This is what will happen, I need to open up 5 new tabs, and then
automate the actions in each tab most of which will never be seen. So,
to do this, I want to put some code into the webview.cpp, so that when a
certain condition is met, on load, it will basically hit the enter key.

keyPressEvent exists within the webview.cpp, but I don't really know how
to call it. If I have to overload it, how exactly do I do that?

keyPressEvent << Qt::Key_Enter;

or something like that?

If you want to automate a GUI - there are better solutions (see http://www.froglogic.com/)

If you want to submit several forms - again, better place.

If you want something "else", I found this via a short google search. Please read it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2035310/how-can-i-simulate-user-interaction-key-press-event-in-qt

Unfortunately, I wish to do it in the method I have specified. I wish to
send the enter key to multiple tabs using the keyPressEvent in
webview.cpp. Could you please just specify how I can go about doing
that? I'm fairly new at all of this. I have done a lot of work on this,
but just need to do that above mentioned action.
