OOo Basic crash course: Creating a simple application launcher

Wed, 28 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT
In previous installments of the crash course, you've learned how to build a simple basket tool, a task manager, and even a word game. This time, let's take a look at how you can use the skills you picked up from those exercises to create a simple application launcher, which will allow you to start virtually any application without leaving the convenience of OpenOffice.org. While working on this project, you'll learn how to create and use functions, handle errors, and how to populate list boxes using records from a database table.

gtg(1)							      General Commands Manual							    gtg(1)

NAME

       gtg -  Getting Things Gnome!, an organizer for the GNOME desktop

SYNOPSIS

       gtg [-d]

DESCRIPTION

       Getting	Things	GNOME! is an organizer for the GNOME desktop environment.  GTG focuses on usability and ease of use. Its main objective is
       to provide a simple and yet flexible organization tool for life and work.

       GTG uses a very handy system for creating and editing tasks. The task editor can automatically recognize metadata such as tags and subtasks
       through the use of a very simple syntax.

OPTIONS

       -b     Boot-up  only.   Causes  gtg to exit immediately after completing the first iteration of the main loop.  Useful for boot performance
	      testing work.

       -c     Disable crash handler.  Causes the Apport automatic crash reporting utility to not be invoked when  gtg  crashes;  instead  it  will
	      print out a normal python backtrace.  This can be useful for debugging crash bugs, or if the crash handler is misbehaving.

       -d     Debug mode.  Prints extra information to the console which may be useful for understanding and reporting bugs.

       -v     Prints version and exits.
