Hi Carsten,
This is really great, but I've just one question:
In your tecnical specification I read:
"""
Every add-on which wants to support a toolbar must be a dispatch provider.
Therefore one communication protocol for the new controls will be the normal
duo com.sun.star.frame.XDispatch / com.sun.star.frame.XStatusListener.
"""
I guess that this will prevent the use of this feature from StarBasic
developers, am I wrong ?
In this case, wouldn't be possible to add also a "static" management, directly
from addons.xcu ?
In other words, if I could specify directly into addons.xcu not only the
control type but also its properties and command url's, in most cases I could
avoid the dispatch mechanism.
pseudo XML example :
<oor:component-data xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; oor:name="Addons"
oor:package="org.openoffice.Office">
<node oor:name="AddonUI">
...
...
<node oor:name="OfficeToolBar">
<node oor:name="org.openoffice.Office.blah.blah" oor:op="replace">
<node oor:name="tlb01" oor:op="replace">
<prop oor:name="URL" oor:type="xs:string"/>
<prop oor:name="ControlType" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>ToggleButton/value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="CommandURL.statusChanged"
oor:type="xs:string">
<value>macro:///blah.blah.statusChanged(oEvent)</value>
</prop>
Hi Paolo,
I see your point and want to discuss your proposal with the scripting
developer. I will add more information after this discussion.
Currently I see some problems regarding your proposed solution. It's
possible that several instances of the add-on toolbar exist at one point
of time (e.g. three open writer documents). The static code must be
aware of that and select the correct frame (instance). A possible
solution would be to add the frame to the CommandEvent struct.
I am not sure why you use "CommandURL.statusChanged", because
statusChanged must be called by the add-on code. The control doesn't
know when to call it. I think you mean something like
"CommandURL.notify" which is called by the control to provide event
information.
Regards,
Carsten
