QtWebKit Manager

Question

I was asked to learn how to control the QTWebKit module outside of QT. The idea is to use QTWebKit as the interface (GUI) for the application. The desired one (manager) should work as a means of communication between the graphical interface and the main application written in C ++.

The manager should be designed in such a way that it can create Java requests and process events from the GUI itself and update pages in accordance with user interactions and / or message updates from the main application.

We considered making the internal web server somewhat slow, and to be honest, I'm not sure how and where to start the design, since almost all the examples related to QTWebKit are just simple web browsers.

If someone can point me to an online article or example that implements or discusses something similar to what I'm talking about, I would be very grateful.

And note that this is not how QTWebKit manipulates and updates HTML pages, the problem is how it can interact with other applications and how another application can send information to QTWebKit

Common memory. In Qt, you can use QSharedMemory. If you do not want to introduce a Qt dependency in another C ++ application. I suggest you create a connection with shared memory as a separate application and download it as a process for communication.
