OO.o hackers tutorials

See also Helper Class Implementations

Since there are a number of common tasks that people want to get done, and looking at these in detail can be instructive generally - we've provided a set of annotated patches to help people get stuck into the code.

This is aimed as an extension to Building and Hacking OOo so you might want to check them out first if you haven't already

• Tutorial Start ( diff ) - adding / changing the default K/B accelerators.
• Tutorial Toolbar ( diff ) - adding / changing the default toolbar items.
• Tutorial About ( diff ) - adding items to & altering the about dialog
• Tutorial Charmap ( diff ) - adding a widget & i18n string & callback.
• Tutorial Writer ( diff ) - adding a new menu command & its implementation.
• Tutorial Impress ( diff ) - adding a new menu command & its implementation.

The build procedure

• Tutorial Build ( diff ) - creating a skeleton project / toplevel.
• Tutorial Library ( diff ) - Making up a new library of the toplevel project.
• Tutorial Client ( diff ) - Using the library from a different toplevel project.

You know ? :-D

• Tutorial UNO Library ( diff ) - Making a UNO component out of the new toplevel project.
• Tutorial UNO Client ( diff ) - Using our shiny new UNO component from a different top-level project.
• Tutorial UNO IDL ( diff ) - Creating an own idl file for our new UNO component to implement.

All together now! :-)

• Tutorial Locate UI - Getting to the associated code from the UI pointers.
• Tutorial Locate Functionality - Getting to the associated code from the functionality.
• Tutorial Locate Misc - Pointers on locating code, reading UNO code, which couldn't go in the other two parts. :-)

If you're looking for whom to beat up for these, that would be me. :-)
