Hi Joel,
as Ariel has already pointed out, you can achieve it via a job addon.
And of course a job addon is an UNO component.
Follow the very good hints from Ariel and i am sure you will get it.

Thank you for the aknowledge.
I read parts of the developers guide, and it looks a little bit confuse to
me. I hope the links you suggest could help me a little bit more.
As i know, i dont need to write a Uno Component, since my extension just
adds some entries to the context menu, and make some access to the
OpenThesaurus service. So my problem is just deploying it and make it
working as an extension for the extension manager of Open Office.

Hi,
i'm having some problems implementing a addon for the open office. I wish
to add some menu entries to the context menu. At this time i'm just trying
to run the example gived on the developers guide. I put the code in a jar,
with an ant build gived too in the same guide, and added to the extension
manager, but nothing happens. Could anyone tell me the main steps to do
something like that?
your first error is that this example is a *client* application, not an
extension.
The Ant i'm using is the one at the page 37 of the Developers Guide.
The example code for add menu entries to the context menu, i'm using is
the one at the page 320 of the developers guide.
I put in attach the jar i got.
Besides, the example in the Developer's Guide is too naive: if you try
the example, you can test by choosing the "Page Preview" on the "File"
menu, then close this preview and come back to the normal view: your
interceptor has then disappeared. The reason is that the Controller was
disposed, so you need to register your interceptor again.
Other problem you'll find is that when the user chooses the menu "Window" -
"New window" (in this new view your interceptor won't work automatically)
So for an extension wanting to add entries on every - let's - say OOo
Writer document context menu, the starting point will be a Uno component
implementing a css.task.Job
(OnLoadFinished/OnLoad + OnNew)
* register the interceptor at the XController
* add an XFrameActionListener at the XFrame
* add an XEventListener at the model's XEventBroadcaster and listen to
the event OnViewCreated
Some more comments on
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=21148
[I've learn more since then, but may give you a hint about the work it
may take to make a context menu interceptor work in a real use case]
Could anyone help me?
no "helpful" help can be given if you don't know some basics first (one
of them is the basic difference between a client application, a uno
component, an extension)
If the lines above about the css.task.Job,
css.frame.XFrame/XFrameActionListener , etc was a foreign language for
you, then I'd suggest you
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide
at least one should know
