Clickable URL in QMessageBox?

[martinb0820]

I would like to display a URL in a QMessageBox that can be clicked on to follow the link.

Is there a way to do this? As an alternative, I could use another kind of dialog and check for the mouse hovering over the text to change the cursor, etc.

I would very much appreciate it if someone has a solution that would save me a lot of time?

Thanks,
Martin

You can use QLabel with QLabel::setOpenExternalLinks set to true

Works for me:

QMessageBox::about(0, "Trolltech", "<a href='http://www.trolltech.com'>Trolltech</a>");

QMessageBox::about(0, "Trolltech", "<a href='http://www.trolltech.com'>Trolltech</a>");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

QMessageBox::about(0, "Trolltech", "<a href='http://www.trolltech.com'>Trolltech</a>");

QMessageBox::about(0, "Trolltech", "<a href='http://www.trolltech.com'>Trolltech</a>");

I came here googling for this very same problem. I still can't click on links in ::about() box. The link appears as such (blue, underlined), but clicking on it doesnt open anything. I'm using Qt 4.5.3 on linux/gentoo, and i know the general 'open a link' stuff works from within Qt on other application (starts firefox on my computer)

I did try exactly the line quoted here.
