Hello,

with

LaunchWebBrowser(GetFileFolder(TD.PATHDIRWWW));

I can open a folder and then display its file content.
Unfortunately it does not work for Mac OS X. Do we have an U++ alternative to do the same or something similar?

Thanks,
Luigi

Fortunately there is the old system function that does its job pretty well

  system("open path &");

Online there are example in objective c that are very scary.

Hello Luigi,

Can you try to use following line of code and let me know if it works for you:

void WorkspaceWork::OpenFileFolder()
{
	ShellOpenFolder(GetFileDirectory(GetActiveFilePath())); // <- This method
}

Sincerely,
Klugier

U++ - one framework to rule them all.

Hello Klugier,

it doesn't work, ShellOpenFolder() is not recognized.

Thanks,
Luigi
