Hi again, The problem is that i'm out of time. I'm working on a project, and the time is getting out, and i can't solve the problems. I have already read what's important on dev's guide, but it didn't helped me. Follow i write my doubts that i try to find over the internet and the dev's guide, and i couldn't find a answer about how to do that (if it is in the dev's guide, please tell me where):
1. If i'm using a job, i should register the interceptor class that implements XContextMenuInterceptor, on the execute method, right? 2. How does i do that? The book doesn't explain that, they give a little example using a client application. 3. I have to write a protocol handler to create a action when a user click one of my new entries on the context. I have a class that implement XDisptachProvider and XDispatch, and the method queryDispatch returns itself. The method dispatch have to parameters, url and property value. With that, how can i know the name of the menu entry the user selected? Thanks again for the attention, Joel Filipe Antunes Cordeiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 5:30 AM, Ariel Constenla-Haile < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Joel, > > What you're trying to do is something complex: if there was an example > for adding a context menu entry via an extension, and we should set a > level of knowledge required to understand it, I'd set the level to > DIFFICULT/COMPLEX and the like; so you will have to be patient and study > gradually. > > I'd summarize the requirements as follow: > > * knowledge about how a context menu interceptor works (this includes > handling the document selection) > * knowledge about ProtocolHandler implementation > * knowledge about Job implementation > * obviously a general knowledge about how extension work in OOo > (configuration files, etc.) > > So said that... > > Joel Cordeiro escribió: > >> Hi, >> >> i still cant make it work with the jobs or protocol handler, but for now i >> dont care, >> > > sorry, but you *have* to care, because... > > i'm trying to make the api of the extension i want, using client >> application, and then i change.
