gtkShowUri: gtkShowUri

In RGtk2: R Bindings for Gtk 2.8.0 and Above

Description

This is a convenience function for launching the default application to show the uri. The uri must be of a form understood by GIO. Typical examples are

• ‘file:///home/gnome/pict.jpg’

• ‘http://www.gnome.org’

• ‘mailto:me’

Ideally the timestamp is taken from the event triggering the gtkShowUri call. If timestamp is not known you can take GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

Usage

gtkShowUri(screen = NULL, uri, timestamp, .errwarn = TRUE)

Arguments

screen	screen to show the uri on or NULL for the default screen. [ allow-none ]
uri	the uri to show
timestamp	a timestamp to prevent focus stealing.
.errwarn	Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

Details

This function can be used as a replacement for gnomeVfsUrlShow() and gnomeUrlShow(). Since 2.14

Value

A list containing the following elements:

retval	[logical] TRUE on success, FALSE on error.
error	a GError that is returned in case of errors
