import uno
localContext = uno.getComponentContext()
resolver = localContext.ServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver", localContext )
# note the port number is 8100, where the default value is 2002
ctx = resolver.resolve( "uno:socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext" )
smgr = ctx.ServiceManager
desktop = smgr.createInstanceWithContext( "com.sun.star.frame.Desktop",ctx)
oDoc = desktop.getCurrentComponent()

# sheet to be activated
oSheet = oDoc.getSheets().getByIndex(2)

openoffice calc should be run with the command

#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice "$@" --accept="socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager"

Extract icon from EXE file in ubuntu

$ wrestool -x -t14 TARGET.EXE -o result.icon
$ convert result.icon result.png

why -t14 ?

wrestool -l TARGET.EXE
-> shows a list of resources included in TARGET.EXE file, where type=14 (type=group_icon) is the icon image we want to extract.

-x option means extract
-o where to place extracted files
