      THE POST BELOW IS MORE THAN 5 YEARS OLD. RELATED SUPPORT INFORMATION MIGHT BE OUTDATED OR DEPRECATED

      User Information:
      Cinema 4D Version:   R9-R10.5 
      Platform:   Windows  ;   Mac OSX  ; 
      Language(s) :     C++  ;

      ---------
      I imagine that in order to do this, one would have to call some OS-dependent code or executable (GeExecuteProgram() perhaps?).

      Is there any way to do this within the SDK or might I need to drag in the OS SDKs?

      Thanks,

        These are some command line switches for the windows expolrer. the one that might help is this:

        explorer /select,c:\windows\calc.exe .

        For opening external programms with command line switches i use to write a .bat file and open it with GeExecuteFile().

        Im not sure if this helps, but i hope so.

          That works very well for Windows. How about MacOS X? 😉

              I'll have to see what can be done there. No clue about AppleScripts. 🙂

                Check out the new ShowInFinder() function in Cinema4D 10.5.

                  That'll take care of 10.5 but I'll still need alternatives for R9.1 to R10.1.
