[Solved] Disable context menu for particular hyperlink in QMessageBox

YuriQ

Hello.
Thank you for answer. I got it. No easy solution here. Ok I will write here some information about my solution and mark thread as "[Solved]".

The link which shouldn't work is internal link (link to window of the program), so it's textual representation doesn't have any sense for user.

SGaist

If it doesn't have any sense for the user then why show it that way ?

YuriQ

Oops. Looks like I didn't explain it very well. In the code link looks like "<a href='specurl://window2'>window</a>". To make it work I use QDesktopServices::setUrlHandler. So the link itself is useful, but the text "specurl://window2" is useless, because it can't be used in the program or in any other program. This is the reason to disable ability to copy link to clipboard.

SGaist

Didn't you create an url handler for "specurl"?

YuriQ

I did it. Url handler is the function, which name is passing to the function QDesktopServices::setUrlHandler. Right? Url handling works fine, I have no problem with it.

SGaist

Ok, I see what misguided me.

Then again, I don't see any easy solution except making your own dialog

YuriQ

So be it :)

I managed to disable context menu using a trick. Message was splitted into paragraphs. 1st paragraph contains 1st hyperlink, 2nd paragraph contains 2nd hyperlink. Then I manually added 2nd paragraph into QMessageBox's layout as QLabel with disabled context menu.
