When using the experimental features in Basic I can declare thing in a more specific way, for instance:
*Dim SomeSheet As com.sun.star.sheet.XSpreadsheet* Without the experimental features enabled, I had to write this instead: *Dim SomeSheet As Object* Is there a way to find out for sure what type some object is supposed to be? For instance, if I use Object instead and then look at it with XRay, in the field just above the big field with all the properties/methods/services/etc, it says *com.sun.star.sheet.XSpreadsheet*, so that could be a clue, but it doesn't seem to always be usable. For instance, when declaring a range, XRay says *com.sun.star.table.XCellRange*, but declaring it like that won't work. *com.sun.star.sheet.XSheetCellRange* will. How can I figure this out? At the moment I'm struggling with a search descriptor. XRay says *com.sun.star.util.XSearchDescriptor*, but that only throws an error at *SomeRange.createSearchDescriptor()*. In case anyone wonders why I'm not just declaring it as *Object*, the answer is because I want to learn these experimental features. I'm not solving some kind of problem with it at the moment, just trying to learn about it, which is hard since I can't find any examples, since everybody declare everything as *Object* and *Variant*… I'm obviously looking at this the completely wrong way. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction somehow? I'm not a coder, so pointing me to the source code is meaningless. I wouldn't understand anything of it, or at least not quickly enough to not just give up.
