Open excel file on buttonclick

I am trying to open a pdf and a excel file on button click.

Code:

---

connect(ui->button1,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(OpenPdfFile()));
void MainWindow::OpenPdfFile()
{
    QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("GMHeaderCheckTool_UserManual.pdf", QUrl::TolerantMode));//working perfectly
 
}
connect(ui->button2,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(OpenExcelFile()));
void MainWindow::OpenExcelFile()
{
  // where ExcelFileName conatin the Path of the excel location
    QString ExcelFileName  = "d:/Tools/HeadercheckTool/Requirment/To Anil/To Anil/Tool.xlsx" 
    QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(ExcelFileName, QUrl::TolerantMode));//Not working
}

---

When I am trying to open the Excel file I am getting the below error

Quote:

---

d:/Tools/HeadercheckTool/Requirment/To Anil/To Anil/Tool.xlsx' failed (error 2)

Please let me know how can i open excel file?

Hi, try to add file:/// in front of the path. Maybe you also need to add " to your string because of the spaces in the path.

Use QUrl::fromLocalFile().
