Unable to click on hiperlinks in QTextBrowser edited by QTextDocument

[michalos]

Hi,
I'm working on a messaging app.
I use a QTextBrowser to display the message, but when it's read I change it a bit using QTextCursor.

Before I started to edit the text, I could access any hiperlink I generated, but now this option is no longer working. I still can see the <.a href="smth">smth<./a> as a hiperlink (underlined and in different colour), but I cannot access it.

Any ideas how to change this?

My QTextBrowse comfig:

textBrowserReadConversation->setTextInteractionFlags(Qt::TextBrowserInteraction | Qt::TextSelectableByMouse | Qt::TextSelectableByKeyboard | Qt::LinksAccessibleByMouse | Qt::LinksAccessibleByKeyboard);
textBrowserReadConversation->setOpenLinks(false);
textBrowserReadConversation->setOpenExternalLinks(true);
textBrowserReadConversation->setAcceptRichText(true);
textBrowserReadConversation->setReadOnly(false);

I set the QTextCursor like this:

QTextDocument *document(textBrowserReadConversation->document());
QTextCursor cursor(document);
//then I move it to position, delete the previous text and paste the new text:
cursor.insertHtml(html);

The solution was to set the text browsers setTextInteractionFlags() to (textInteractionFlags() | Qt::LinksAccessibleByMouse).
In my case:

    textBrowserReadConversation->setTextInteractionFlags(textBrowserReadConversation->textInteractionFlags() | Qt::LinksAccessibleByMouse | Qt::LinksAccessibleByKeyboard);

I found the solution here:

But I'll leave the topic, because it was hard for me to find it through google or the search engine on this forum.
