Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

I'd like to programmatically invoke OmniWeb with a URL.

A:

Here's a small C function that will open the URL string you pass in:

#import <appkit/appkit.h>


void openURL(const char *urlString)
{
    Pasteboard                 *pasteboard;

    pasteboard = [Pasteboard newName:"OmniWebPasteboard"];
    [pasteboard declareTypes:&NXAsciiPboardType num:1 owner:nil];
    [pasteboard writeType:NXAsciiPboardType
     data:urlString length:strlen(urlString)+1];
    NXPerformService("OmniWeb/Open URL", pasteboard);
}
