Description Benjamin Poulain 2009-10-23 02:42:44 PDT 
QWebFrame::hitTestContent() uses a QPoint which is appropriate for mouse usage.

For touch-based implementation of the view, a similar function is needed to get all the widgets inside a rect.
QTouchEvent return a list of TouchPoints. Those TouchPoints have the function TouchPoint::rect() to get the rect corresponding to the area taken by the finger. It is useful to use that rect to find a link, or a node that can deal with the click.

The function could be something like
QList<QWebElement> elementsForRect(QRectF).

Sounds like a good idea, though we should think a bit more about the API. Is this needed for 4.6?
Comment 2 Benjamin Poulain 2009-10-26 11:42:42 PDT 
This could be for Qt 4.7. There is a few functions we could add in order to improve the handling of QTouchEvent. It is too late to add this in 4.6.

This relates to the following requirement: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTWEBKIT-13

This is no longer the plans. Sampling over the rect should do the trick.
