Hyperlink text in QLabel to open web browser

[qt_developer]

Hi all,

I'm developing an about window. In this window I have some urls.

For example, if my label has the text: "http://www.qtcentre.org" I want that when the user click in the label, the web browser opens with the specified url.

What is the best way to perform this?

Regards.

You can use openExternalLinks (http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qlabel.html#openExternalLinks-prop)

Hi Zlatomir,

I have set openExternalLinks, LinksAccessibleByMouse and LinksAccessibleByKeyboard to true, but nothing happen when I click over the QLabel.

What's wrong?

Regards.

Is it a link? I mean the text should be like this:


QLabel label;
label.openExternalLinks(true);
label.setText("<a href=\"http://www.qtcentre.org\" />QtCentre</a>");

Hi srazi,

I have used your code but nothing happens when I click over the label. Have you tested the code?

Regards.

Did You set text format to Plain text on QLabel? If so change it to Auto / Rich text.

the right code is :
QLabel label;

The really right code is:

QLabel label;
label.setOpenExternalLinks(true);
label.setText("<a href="http://www.qtcentre.org">QtCentre</a>");
