Hi
I'm trying to find out what is the best way to open a PDF from within a Qt application. I looked at QProcess but I'm not convinced that this is the best solution. Does a solution exist where a class looks at the program associated with a file extension such as a pdf in a platform independant way and launches the PDF with that program?
I suspect that such a class will also be able to open a path in the correct way, for example in windows using windows explorer and in a different operating system using the appropriate application.
If such a class exist, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Jaco
