TextBox in Output pane of Qt creator
-
I have a plugin which prints the output data read from a perl script in the General messages output pane. I want to make each statement from the output data clickable to parse the clicked output and open the file if valid.
To achieve this, I am trying to redirect each line to a textview/QLabel in Qt , to handle click events of it. Is it possible to create a label in output pane to display the texts in it from the plugin ?

I am a not a Qt expert. I don't know whether it's possible to do this in Qt Creator's Output window. But what sort of order of number of lines are you expecting? Because 1,000 lines => 1,000 separateQLabelwidgets sounds non-scalable to me...

@JonB Yes, true. Definitely this doesnt look to be a good option to me either :| , but couldn't identify any other feasible solution yet.

Hi
You mean something like what Todo plugin does ?

@mrjj Exactly. Thanks a lot for this.
But this looks to identify the comments section from current document. The difference is I want to filter the warning/error output from General messages pane .

well i was thinking you altered the the todo sample and simple output
to that pane instead (from perl plugin) ?0『Please use the Topic Tools button to mark as Solved

What happened to your other thread? https://forum.qt.io/topic/86282/get-click-events-from-output-pane-of-qt-creator/5
As said there, the General Messages pane is currently missing that function, but it is there in Compile output e.g.

@aha_1980 I am open to redirect my output to Compile output window as well if this supports the link functionality.. But I see Core::MessageManager::write only redirects to General messages output pane. Do we have any similar interface to write to Compile output window ?
-
@mrjj No, I have not altered any. Its a plugin that reads the data from perl and dumps to output pane using MessageManager::write
-
ok. but if you already have a Creator plugin why not make your own pane ( like todo)
and just output there ?0『Please use the Topic Tools button to mark as Solved

@mrjj That would be great. But is it that simple ? Do we have any direct interfaces available for this ? Currently am referring ToDo plugin to understand how this is done.

Hi, to be frank, i would just reuse the toDo pane as
its all the same and only difference is what widgets are used.
As i remember it, it was not terrible complex when you had sample to reuse. :)
