How to make links clickable in a QTextEdit?

Is there a way to make links clickable in a QTextEdit?

I know I can use a QTextBrowser and connect to anchorClicked but I'd rather keep the editing and viewing all in one widget, and have clickable links when I set the widget to read-only mode.

Is this possible or am I stuck with having two separate widgets in a stack and switching between them?

Solution

  • Since QTextBrowser inherits from QTextEdit, you should use it and set the readOnly property to false. Then you can change the style of the QTextBrowser as you want.
