I'm currently working on a sample extension for Jürgen that shows how to add an Option page and extension help. I'll need some days to finally polish it, but if it helps I can provide a work-in-progress project earlier... :-) Thanks but at the the moment I don't need more input. All my problems with the options are solved. I have now other questions on my list. ;-) regards Benjamin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I finally get it to work. My Conclusion: Only with the informations from dev guide it is impossible to implement an extension with an option dialog. I had several problems, here is the short summarize for the list: - I didn't understand that the main class from the nb addon project must implement the XContainerWindowEventHandler interface. I used a seperate class for this because in the dev guide it seems to be also a standalone class, but this class was never instantiated. mmh, seems that we can improve it. The problem is that the example in the Devguide uses an addon to make use of the own configuration entries. This of course is not necessary. Improtant is that you need an own implementation (service UNO oject) that implements XContainerWindowEventHandler. This of course can be created by the plugin with the new file type wizard for UNO objects ... I will publish a complete lab with 5 detailed examples realted to extension development in Java with NetBeans next week. It's my lab from the OOCon this year and i will do one last review before i will publish it. - The dev guide has an advice to use own package names and not org.openoffice.Office but obviously some xcu and xcs files must have this package name (e.g. the OptionsDialog.xcu where the path to the .xdl is defined). mmh, i think you simply have misunderstand it. You use an already defined configuration schema to hook your options page into the office. That of course is org.openoffice.Office.OptionsDialog. You can't change this. The DevGuide means that you should define your own schema with your own package name for your own configuration entries. - Jürgen said it make sense to use a folder structure like /registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/ for the data-configuration files. But my experience is that for the OptionsDialog.xcu this doesn't work. The refered .xdl Dialog will only be displayed when the OptionsDialog.xcu is in the root folder of the extension. sorry, my mistake i forgot to explain this little detail around %origin% ;-) But Steffen and Christian have already explained it. We should introduce a further variable %oxtroot% or something like that expands to the package root directory ...

Re: [api-dev] Netbeans OOo Plugin 2.0: How to add custom files for an option dialog to an add-on project?
Hello, I still have problems with the option handling in the extension context. The answers from the mailinglist were helpful, but I need more informations. The paths and identifiers are now correct. Unsolved questions: - Why does my .xdl-dialog not appear in the options dialog? I tried to debug my OptionsEventHandler, but when I click on OK, the class isn't involved. - How can I access my own properties which I have defined in the ExtensionsData.xcs file? I implemented a generic ConfigReader class and now I can read the OOo properties but not my own? Error message is: /org.openoffice.Office.ExtensionsData (and for locale de) could not be created. Unable to retrieve the node from the configuration server. The backend returned the following error: SchemaBuilder: Could not expand instances: Template not found [@/org.openoffice.Office.ExtensionsData/Leaves] For a bigger extension it is important to set up the config environment properly, but unfortunately the documentation in the developers guide wasn't so helpful for me. And I still haven't found an existing opensource extension, which uses the options functionality. Can anybody here give me a complete working example?

Re: [api-dev] Netbeans OOo Plugin 2.0: How to add custom files for an option dialog to an add-on project?
Hi, A small update: I corrected the paths to the .xcs / .xcu files and now both files will be included in the generated .oxt file. I have now a new leaf in the writer options as I should be, but the dialog elements from the referred .xdl file are still missing. Is there a way to debug this problem? regards Benjamin Juergen Schmidt wrote: Hi Benjamin, well it depends where you add the files in your project. With the old plugin it should work if the files are in the project/src directory. You should use the latest plugin (2.0.1, not available via the update center so far) and you should create the xcu/xcs files with the new file wizard. The plugin will create the files under a new directory registry/[data/**/*.xcu|schema/**/*.xcs]. The reason for that is first a clear separation of related office only files. And take care of the package name in the xcu file. For example for an options page it should be project/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/OptionsDialog.xcu The reason for this is a potentially easier integration in the open office build and localization process.
