Hi Arthur,

I doubt there is one. You probably have to go with listeners, like a
mousemotionlistener or css::awt::XMouseClickHandler depending on
*when* you want to influence sth..
By hand you then probably need to track all objects upon loading of
the document, a mapping of them and their positions, then of course
you need to register some more listeners to get notified when a new
object is inserted or an existing one's position is changed. If you
only deal with Writer documents, then Cursors could be a friend as
well (XPageCursor to get the page nr. and then multiplicating with
page size etc.).

These are just vague suggestions, I hope they give you some hint to
start off. A lot of stuff is covered in the Developer's Guide of
course.

Hi all

For a document revising tool I'd like to get from the X/Y coordinates on
a page to the object at that position in the writer document via the
API. The ideal way would be similar to the accessibility API's
"getAccessibleAtPoint" which returns the accessible object at a given
coordinate on the visible screen. Instead of relative to the screen the
coordinates would have to be relative to the page.

Alternatively getting the bounding boxes (again relative to page
coordinates) of the (printable) objects would be sufficient as well.

Is there a possibility to get that kind of information via the API or is
there another way to somehow get at the layouting engine? Any ideas
(however half-baked) are very welcome.

Regards

Arthur
