Clickable weblink

[bnilsson]

In my app I have an About.. dialog where I want to put some info plus a couple of web addresses. The web addresses should be clickable so that the standard browser (Explorer, Firefox, Safari) will open the page.

I will not be surprised if this is a very simple thing to set up, but I have not yet found it.
Any clue will be appreciated.

QLabel, QLabel::openExternalLinks, Qt::TextInteractionFlags

Thank you very much!

Well, apparently it was not so simple.

QLabel *www1_label;
..
www1_label->setText(Weblink1);
www1_label->setTextInteractionFlags ( Qt::LinksAccessibleByMouse );
www1_label->setOpenExternalLinks(true);

QLabel *www1_label;
..
www1_label->setText(Weblink1);
www1_label->setTextInteractionFlags ( Qt::LinksAccessibleByMouse );
www1_label->setOpenExternalLinks(true);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

does nothing. The link is not active and nothing happens when clicking on it.
There is no change of cursor when the pointer is pasing over it.
What have I missed?
Is there any example I can look at?

Sure it is. What's the content of Weblink1? I guess you don't use the a tag.

www1_label->setText("<a href=\"http://www.qtcentre.org\">www.qtcentre.org</a>");

www1_label->setText("<a href=\"http://www.qtcentre.org\">www.qtcentre.org</a>");

What is the weblink ?
I tried simply in designer and it works smooth for me.

Also try this -

www1_label->setTextInteractionFlags(www1_label->textInteractionFlags() | Qt::LinksAccessibleByMouse );

www1_label->setTextInteractionFlags(www1_label->textInteractionFlags() | Qt::LinksAccessibleByMouse );

Ok, thanks.
Did you say this tag stuff was documented somewhere in this context?


Sorry that my mind went blank, missing the obvious fact that I had use html syntax.
I will post more on the Newbie forum from here after.
