A standalone Helloworld XUL example (XULRunner)

• I know it was tedious to create that hierarchy but then you are about to learn something thats worth it.
• Now write the Following lines into “application.ini”

[App]

Vendor=Visio

Name=Hello World

Version=1.0

BuildID=20080114

Copyright=Copyright (c) 2008 jit

ID=visio159@wordpress.com[Gecko]

MinVersion=1.8

MaxVersion=1.9.0.*

• And in “chrome.manifest” write: Its basically maps the file URI to chrome URI

content helloworld file:content/

• In “main.xul” write: The main file that will create the windows and GUI.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?><window id="main" title="Hello World" width="300" height="300" xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">

  <caption label="Hello World"/>

</window>

• In “prefs.js” write: Silly way to provide the address of main file

pref("toolkit.defaultChromeURI","chrome://helloworld/content/main.xul");

Now the final step is to run the application:

Execute the Example:

• Open command prompt window

• Execute example by providing “application.ini” as an argument to the “xulrunner.exe” as shown:

• Yay the standalone application (which is now pretty much bland) is ready, cheers
