Hi. Any one know how to prevent QLabel dig into internet when loading html? We load small compatible with QLabel html files. But if user by mistake try to load file saved from internet, it take very long time, and program begin lagging. But when internet assess is disabled - any file loading quickly with no lag.
Is it possible to restrict QLabel loading external links in html?
You could connect to signal linkActivated(), and do the internet available check and do required stuff.
Hi, thanks for your answer, but how "link user interaction signal" related to my question? I need to prevent internal QLabel internet access, while it loading initial html file - before user see any text on screen.Quote:

Thank you, I came to about the same decision. But sadly, "http://" or "https://" can occur in comment sections, for example:
So it's not the simple regexp search...Quote:
<!--HTML generated by ..., http://...-->
In <a> or <img> elements the URLs will be href="..." or src="http://..." so look for the attribute name as well would help.
