Clickable link in InfoPanel

Asked by Daniel Carrion

Before I go crazy with creating a new panel, is it possible to turn on interactive flag somehow so that links that are in the InfoPanel when someone clicks an object are clickable? I can see that the links are coming through but they are not clickable. I.e. It just selects whatever is behind it in the sky.

Do you mean GUI items over the sky?

Yes. I'd like to include a link in the InfoPanel QGraphicsTextItem. It seems to work but I cannot interact with the link (clink on it). I'm guessing this is because of default Qt::NoTextInteraction flag? Is there any way I can set properties of the InfoPanel thats initialised in SkyGui without creating a whole new one, just to have a clickable HTTP link?

No, this doesn't work, even if setOpenExternalLinks(true) is used in InfoPanel.

Do you have any suggestions? Should I create a completely new QGraphicsTextItem that overrides InfoPanel just for my module and with textInteraction flags set? Or is there something more simple I can do?

No simple way, sorry.

I vaguely remember experimenting with that feature for the info panel, but
I don't remember the results. It's possible that it's possible. ;) But I
don't have time to retrace my steps.

I think that the widget should be set not to pass the clicks to its parent,
or to accept focus, or something like that. Look at the documentation of
QGraphicsItem.

Can you help with this problem?
