Those tutorials are rather old, the code has changes in between.

I have no idea what you have done. Can you generate a patch with your
changes?

It has obviously changed since 2007,
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/main/cui/source/dialogs/about.cxx?view=log

ups, it's not centered, but positioned on the left!

The sources are at:

cui/source/inc/about.hxx - header
cui/source/dialogs/about.cxx - source file
cui/source/dialogs/about.hrc - IDs defines
cui/source/dialogs/about.src - dialog structure definition


Apply the attached patch, build, deliver, and copy the library in your
office installation:

]$ cd <SRC_ROOT>/main/cui
]$ cat <PATH_TO_PATH> | patch -p1
]$ build debug=true dbglevel=3  && deliver
]$ cp -fv <unxlngx6>/lib/libcui.so  <BASIS_DIR>/basis4.0/program/libcui.so


Once you get a general idea of how it works, try changing something
else: modify the button type, make it a simple push button, and add
a call back so that when it is pressed you show a "Hello world!" message
box.
