Qt4: QLabel -> QPixmap -> click to open URL

Question

I have a QLabel without any text but with a QPixmap image. I can not figure out a way to open a url when the user clicks the image. I can not use text in QLabel here.

You don't need to put text in, but you do need to switch to either a subclassed label or to use a QPushButton instead. If you use a QPushButton (which is the easiest) then you can change the relief layout so it looks flat again (since the default button doesn't).

Thanks, I set the push button to flat, set the icon as the image, manually set the image size (width, height) and then joined it to the URL opening slot – yolo Apr 04 '11 at 15:04

You could install an event filter on the label and filter for mouse press events. For an example, see my answer to a similar question.
