[Qt-interest] open file in editor from qt

[Eric Clark]

Call the function QDesktopServices::openUrl() and pass in the URL of the file you are trying to open. This function will open the file in the default program. For example, a text file on windows will usually open in Notepad unless the user has changed that in there Windows settings.

Subject: [Qt-interest] open file in editor from qt

Hi,

I'm new to that forum and to Qt. I have a simple question.

I have a Button that should open a specific file with a certain application, i.e. if the clicks the button a file called test.txt should be open in gedit or another editor.

How does this work?

Matthias
