QLabel hyperlink and text-decoration

SPlatten

I have a working hyperlink using a QLabel, the link is underlined, I've tried removing the underline by setting the CSS property text-decoration to none in the style sheet.

This has no effect, is there another way to prevent the hyperlink from having an underline?

This is the CSS I have now:

QLabel { align:left,top;
        border:0px;
         color:#ff0000;
     font-size:40pt;
        format:rich;
text-decoration:none;}

The alignment and font-size work, the color and text-decoration don't work.

Hi
This works for me.

myLabel->setText("<a style= text-decoration:none; href=\"http://example.com/\">Click Here!</a>");

alt text

Interesting, I will try that, why doesn't it work when I call:

    setText(strText);
    setFont(clsXMLnode::objFont());
    setWindowFlag(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);     // No frame

    if ( strText.contains(clsXMLnode::mscszAhref) == true ) {
        setOpenExternalLinks(true);
    }
    if ( *pstrCSS != nullptr && pstrCSS->isEmpty() != true ) {            
        if ( pstrCSS->indexOf(clsXMLnode::mscszCSSbackgroundColour) >= -1 ) {
            blnBackground = true;
        }
        setStyleSheet(*pstrCSS);
    }

Where strText contains:

<a href="http://google.com">Google</a>

And the *pstrCSS contains:

 QLabel { align:left,top;
         border:0;
          color:#ff0000;
      font-size:40pt
         format:rich;
text-decoration:none;}

@SPlatten said in QLabel hyperlink and text-decoration:

text-decoration:none

I don't see that listed as a Qt style thing.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-reference.html

So im not sure it can work that way.

@mrjj , I was assuming that since this isn't a very new addition to the CSS standard that Qt would support it. Isn't your example using exactly the same syntax?

mrjj

@SPlatten

Well it is supported
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html
in the HTML subset but i have not seen it for the style sheet support.
( in use i mean. it should work but seem to get ignored in CSS )

Im using it in HTML style and you try with the Qt Widget stylesheet.

@mrjj in the List of Properties, it says:

text-decoration	none
underline
overline
line-through	Additional text effects

but it's still not working.

@QtTester
