Qt QTextBrowser How to capture text and change its cursor - c++

Question

I have QTextBrowser with delegate class ,
in the QTextBrowser i set html text with links , but in this html i have text that looks like
link with css like this:
"<span style=\" font-size:8pt; text-decoration: underline; color:#ffffff;\">dummy_link</span>"
i like to change the cursor type to point when the mouse over it . and then trigger Qt function .
the problem is that when i try to implement in the QTextBrowser with delegate class
the mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *e) like this : all other links ( tags )loss there pointer cursors here is when i do :
void TextBrowserDelegate::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *e)
{
QCursor newCursor = cursor();
Qt::CursorShape CurrCursor = newCursor.shape();
QTextCursor tc = cursorForPosition( e->pos() );
tc.select( QTextCursor::WordUnderCursor );
QString sharStr = tc.selectedText();
if(sharStr == "dummy_link")
{
Qt::CursorShape newCursor = Qt::PointingHandCursor;//Qt::ArrowCursor;
setCursor(newCursor);
}
e->accept();
}
what im doing wrong here ?

With the code you've provided, it looks like only a link with the text "dummy_link" will get the cursor that you are choosing. The QTextBrowser class should automatically change the cursor if you set the proper flags.
QTextBrowser::setOpenLinks(true);
If your TextBrowserDelegate inherits from QTextBrowser you can use the following code in your constructor:
TextBrowserDelegate::TextBrowserDelegate(QWidget *parent){
this->setOpenExternalLinks(true);
this->setOpenLinks(true);
connect(this,SIGNAL(anchorClicked(QUrl)),this,SLOT(onClickedLink(QUrl)));
}
void TextBrowserDelegate::onClickedLink(QUrl url){
//do something with url
}
