FolderItem.LaunchMBS(inFront as Boolean) as Boolean

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Files MBS MacClassic Plugin ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ No ✅ Yes All
Launches a file.

In Xojo 4.5 Realsoftware introduces a new Launch variant: "Launch(inFront)". To be compatible I renamed the old Launch method to MBSLaunch and added a Launch method which is compatible to Xojo's.

The return value is true if no immediate error occured. It would be false, for instance, if the FolderItem object does not exists, is a folder, or is not allowed to be opened (can happen with files on network volumes, as well as in Mac OS X environments).
Added Windows support in version 3.4.

Some examples using this method:
