| Calling actions when event element are clicked on Welcome page [message #482468] |

Hi all,
Here is what I want to implement:
I'd like to have a custom welcome page with some items that call Eclipse code when clicked. The best example I found to illustrate this is on the Eclipse Welcome page, on the "Go to workbench" button. When it is clicked, the workbench is opened (or the welcome page is closed, no matter), this is Eclipse code, not a simple navigation in browser. Then it is a proof that what I want to is achievable.
However, I don't succeed to get started to implement such a thing. I thought I could find some clues by looking at org.eclipse.ui.intro.universal plugin, but I did not find sources to help me.
In my use case, the action to do when clicked would be to open a wizard.
Could anyone provide me some ideas, advices, pointers or whatever that could be helpful ?
Regards,
Mickael

This was the closest page I could find in the documentation. It shows
the format of a run action.

You don't need to use the extension point to call an action from intro.

I succeeded to use http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/runAction and start a wizard.
Thanks a lot for your help, Chris!
