How to find out the X-Y co-ordinates of the QString characters?

[LiCodeX]

Thanks jpn

but I guess they have removed that QLabel::textInteractionFlags support from Qt4, b'coz its no more existing over there.
so will using that flag, affect the application in a way or the other?


Thanks

Well actually, QLabel::textInteractionFlags() was introduced in Qt 4.2. You must be using a pretty old version of Qt since the current version of Qt is already at 4.3.2.

oh well I'm using the Qt 4.3.2 itself, but the documentation with me was of Qt 4.1, which I forgot to update somehow ,

Thanks for the help

ok now just an extention to this question:
considering the example I've given above, if I've couple of links together over there, for 'pagenumber' and 'totalpages', then how do I distinguish between these two? b'coz all I'll get is the linkActivated() signal, but on which basis I've to decide whether to navigate to or fro??

plz help

Thanks

linkActivated() has a QString parameter that contains the URL of the link clicked. So by changing the href attribute of the link you may add 'labels' to those links.

:? can you plz elaborate it a little more for me?
it will be really appreciable if you'll provide a short snippet as an example for it.

Thanks

label->setText("Here's some HTML with <a href='abc'>a couple</a> of <a href='def'>links</a>");
connect(label, SIGNAL(linkActivated(const QString&)), receiver, SLOT(doSomething(const QString&)));
 
void Receiver::doSomething(const QString& link)
{
   // do something with 'link' which is either "abc" or "def"
}

label->setText("Here's some HTML with <a href='abc'>a couple</a> of <a href='def'>links</a>");
connect(label, SIGNAL(linkActivated(const QString&)), receiver, SLOT(doSomething(const QString&)));

void Receiver::doSomething(const QString& link)
{
   // do something with 'link' which is either "abc" or "def"
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
