[Qt4.1]How to make links open browsers?

[GreyGeek]

I don't know in Qt4, haven't tried it in Windows yet, but in Qt3, you can't launch cmd.exe or command.com with QProcess.
I don't know why, it doesn't raise any error, but just doesn't work.


Cheers.

// open NEAppRoster.html
	QString strNARfile = this->ReportPath;
	strNARfile.append("NEAppRoster.html");
	QFile file(strNARfile );
	if (!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text)){
		ui.leStatus->setText("Can't open n458.txt file for output");
		return;
	} 
	ui.leStatus->setText("Stand by ....processing...");
	QTextStream out(&file);
	out << fheader << endl 
	out << this->HTML_Header1 ;
	out << "Nebraska Exemption Application Roster " << this->dbYear << endl ;
	out << this->HTML_Header2 << endl;
       // ... snip some code which streams rows of data into "out"  in html form ...
	out << this->HTML_Footer << "\n";
	file.close();
	QStringList sRpt;  // required argument for QProcess execute
	//prepend "file:" to filename so IE or Konqueror knows what it is
	sRpt << strNARfile.prepend("file:");
	//assume we are running on Windows.  Probably will be long after I retire
	QString sIE = "C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE";
	QProcess webbrowser;
	int dummy = webbrowser.startDetached(sIE, sRpt);  // a simple string can't replace sRpt
	dummy = 0; // to avoid compiler warning about assigned but unused var
