Hi

I'm new to GTK+ and is trying to execute another when a button is clicked. Using Linux(new to me too :oops: ). Can it be done using C and how?

Code: (C)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8	void on_button1_clicked (GtkButton *button, gpointer user_data) { //What code should be here to run another application? //system() ? }

Thanks.

Hello!

This should work:

Code: (Plaintext)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8	void on_button1_clicked (GtkButton button, gpointer user_data) { / Execute firefox */ system ("firefox&"); }

You can also execute programs depending on gpointer user_data.

Have fun,
Zarg
