Implementing "Show in Finder" button in Objective-C

In my application I would like to create a 'Show in Finder' button.

Show in Finder in Xcode

I have been able to figure out how to pop up a Finder window of that directory but haven't figured out how to highlight the file like the OS does.

Is this possible?

Solution 
  • NSArray *fileURLs = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:fileURL1, /* ... */ nil];
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] activateFileViewerSelectingURLs:fileURLs];
