Neither of these addresses the fundamental question I have.
They both document the system very fully *except* for the events
'interface' (if you can call it that).
I'm used to a system where, when you connect a macro to an event, it
tells you what objects are available to use at that point. You don't
have to go and 'find' the objects, the object variables are there,
ready to use.
It works the way I'm describing in Rekall and in Knoda (using Python)
and in MS Access.
All the OOo documentation seems to assume that the whole thing has
been written as a OOo Basic application. I don't want to do this, I
have created the form and controls from Writer without writing any
code, I now just want to write some macros for the controls on the
form.
I'm happy to help with a bit of documentation if you want, however I
still don't understand where to find the information! :-)
