open desktop using QText Browser

Right now I am displaying something like /home/binary/ in QText browser. Now I want the open the folder by clicking on this text. How to do that ? Thanks in advance

Here is my sample code. I am display the result s

bool MainWindow::displayResult(multimap<string,

string> &resultMap, string &filePath) { multimap::iterator iter; bool fileStatus = false; int noOfLocFound = 0, forAppending = 0; QString no;

    noOfLocFound = resultMap.size();

    if ( noOfLocFound != 0 )
        ui->textBrowser->append( "<i>File found at <b>" + no.setNum (

noOfLocFound ) + " locations");

    for ( forAppending = 0,iter = resultMap.begin(); iter !=

resultMap.end(); iter++, forAppending++ ) { string file = iter->first; string dir = iter->second;

        if ( forAppending == 0)
            filePath.append(dir);
        else
            filePath.append(","+dir);

        QString qdir = QString::fromStdString(dir);

        cout << "Display";

        ui->textBrowser->append( qdir );
        fileStatus = true;

    }

    if ( fileStatus == false )
    {
        ui->textBrowser->append("File not

found"); return false; }

    return true;
}

By "open the folder", do you mean, open a file dialog for the user to select something inside of the given directory?

If so, you would probably want to connect your QTextBrowser's clicked signal to a slot that looked something like:

// connect events, in MyWindow constructor, or whereever...
connect(textbrowser, SIGNAL(mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent*)), this, SLOT(openFileDialog(QMouseEvent*)));

void MyWindow::openFileDialog(QMouseEvent* event) {
    Q_UNUSED(event);

    QStringList files = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(this, "Select a file...",
        textbrowser.plainText());

    // do something with the files here...
}
