I'm developping a component for Writer which has been tested with
Windows and works fine on different machines with different OpenOffice
Versions starting from 2.0.2 to 2.0.4.
Now that I'm almost finished with it, I wanted to test the tool on a Mac
and on Linux. Surprisingly it failed and I don't really understand how
this could happen.
On Linux (Gentoo) with OO.org 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 it fails and on Mac
(Intel/PowerPC) it fails with NeoOffice (OO.org 2.0.3). The main problem
which I figured out is on startup where the JobExecutor initializes
several things.
The following code works with Windows but not with the other ones:
xComponent = xDesktop.getCurrentComponent();
xDesktop has been initialized but getCurrentComponent() doesn't give
anything back, it does so with Windows! (How is this even possible?)
getCurrentComponent() is not reliable as it depends on the
focus/activation handling on the particular OS. Unix systems are well
known to handle focus changes asynchronously so you have a good chance
that directly after starting the first window of OOo
getCurrentComponent() will be empty.
If you want to work reliably use APIs that return you the objects that
you need.
In your code:
xController = xModel.getCurrentController();
This if fine, you have all you need: the model and the controller of the
document you want to work on.
xComponent = xDesktop.getCurrentComponent();
Why do you need this at all? Even on Windows it won't give you anything
you don't have already.
Or did I misunderstood your code?
Best regards,
Mathias
So that would lead me to the following code in order to get the
xComponent and the xFrame.
xComponent = xModel;
xFrame = xController.getFrame();
It did fix the problem although the behaviour with the frame
handling/opening is still different. But I guess I'll have to rework my
workflow then.
Thanks
