[OpendTect_Developers] adding web links

[Raman Singh]

Dear fellow developers,

I want to share with you one of the lesser known functions in OpendTect 
which can add a lot of value to your UI and at the same time is fun to 
work with.

/static bool uiDesktopServices::openUrl(const char* url);/
(include/uiBase/uidesktopservices.h)

The string 'url' can start with http://, ftp://, file:// to open a 
desired location. Alternatively, you can also start the string with 
'mailto:' to send emails directly from your code. For example,

/uiDesktopServices::openUrl(/ 
"mailto:you at yourdomain.com?subject=Hi&body=I like this app" );

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,
Raman
