Hi,
my extension displays a dialog when certain Calc cells are
double-clicked (which now works, thanks to the great support here :)).
There should be no other interaction with the spreadsheet during this
dialog is shown, so a modal JDialog comes to mind. That would require me
to provide a java.awt.Frame as parent so that OOo doesn't completely
freeze as well as the dialog staying on top within the application
context (and not on top of ALL windows).
I'm currently a bit stuck with this. There has been a similar request on
the oooforums.org, but that has been (more or less) unanswered.
I know about the XSystemDependentWindowPeer interface which should be
able to "[Return] a global reference to a java.awt.Component object
provided from the JNI-API" but on the one hand I don't think that I
could simply get a java.awt.Frame out of that Component and on the other
hand the "com.sun.star.frame.Desktop" doesn't provide this interface.
So I have two questions: does OOo somehow provide a java.awt.Frame I can
use as parent? If not: is there a (prefered) way I can manually lock OOo
and implement its main loop? That way I could lock it, show the JDialog
modal in its own thread and while the thread is alive process OOs main
loop. When the thread ends, that loop is left, my code proceeds and OOo
can regain control. (I hope you know what I mean, it's been a bit hard
to describe).
Thanks in advance,
Andreas.
