Opening a URL

[Jake]

Is there anyway (simple) just to open a URL into a web browser with cocoa? I am sure a lot of uDevGames did that, but the code is still down.

LaunchServices will do this for you


#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

NSURL* aURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.gooddoug.com"];

OSStatus err = LSOpenCFURLRef((CFURLRef)aURL, nil);

if (err != noErr)
{
NSLog(@"Oops! %d", err);
}

[pool release];
return 0;
}

[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:myURL];

Thanks!

Anyone have a nice Carbon version for me?

thanks.

GoodDoug's code will work in Carbon, just use an actual CFURLRef rather than a typecast NSURL*
