    Hi folks,

    I am working on a school education content in unity, i need to invoke the windows native calculator in unity.
    I don't want to write my own calculator script, rather I would use native calculator from windows.
    So is it possible in unity to invoke native calculator interface.

    Probably not the best solution (Windows only, btw) but you should add some exception handling. About Android - i don't have any clue how to do that, but i found a post which may point you into the right direction (click here).

    Code (CSharp):
    1. void Start()
    2.     {
    3.         System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
    4.         process.StartInfo.FileName = "calc.exe";
    5.         process.Start();
    6.     }
