[SOLVED]QLabel used as email address

[GrahamL]

Hi
I can make a QLabel represent a web link, but is there a way of having a label represent an email address and when the link is clicked open the users email client?

thanks

Just prepend your link with <code>mailto:</code>
@
QLabel label("<a href='mailto:someone@somewhere.com'>email someone</a>");
label.setOpenExternalLinks(true);
label.show();
@
Or connect to the linkActivated signal and use QDesktopServices::openUrl().
@
QLabel label("<a href='mailto:someone@somewhere.com'>email someone</a>");
label.connect(&label, &QLabel::linkActivated, [](const QString &link)
{
QDesktopServices:openUrl(QUrl(link));
});
label.show();
@
Be aware that you can specify a <code>subject</code> and <code>body</code> as well (<code>mailto:user@foo.com?subject=Test&body=Just a test</code>).
