Hi,
after many years, ooo api users have finally got a concrete generic
implementation of an "associative array" or "Lookup table" or
"dictionary list"
That's great! this powerful service could greatly simplify the
development of macros / extension
but......
unfortunately the implementation is so complicated and counterintuitive
that nobody will use it.
Of course I'm able to use it even in basic, but how can I explain it to
a novice that needs to translate from VBA a macro that uses VBA collections?
(however a starbasic example would be grateful)
The new uno service needs initialization, not fully supported in starbasic
The new uno service needs two parameters "UNO Type" a sort of object
very complex and abstract for a novice not expert in OOP (for example
99% of macro writers)
This kind of situations tends to discourage anybody that would like to
migrate but is afraid of loosing his/her skills
regards
Paolo Mantovani
