Hi Marc,

Isn't css.ui.doalogs.FilterOptionsDialog the service to call in front of
importing? (Frank?)

Uh, never heard of this one. (I really dislike the fact people do not
use [EMAIL PROTECTED] when they define new APIs. This limits others
to knowing-by-chance-only.)
Since the description is somewhat sparse, I am not completely sure,
might be it can in fact be used to open the character set selection
dialog for importing csv/dBase files.

Hi Frank, Marc

all I know is that this can be implemented by an export/import component:

"It should be possible to prompt the user for better values by registering another component that implements the service com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilterOptionsDialog. It is called UIComponent. It enables a filter developer to query for user options before the filter operation is performed. It does not show this dialog inside the filter, because any UI can be suppressed, for example, an external application uses the API of OpenOffice.org for scripting running in a hidden mode."

http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/OfficeDev/OfficeDev.xhtml#1_2_4_2_4_Filter_Options


I still didn't play with it, and all the filter examples in the SDK are too "simple"; this is a common problem in the SDK: we beginners need easy, simple examples, BUT there should also be complex, real-world-oriented examples. As an example: the context menu interceptor example is very good for starting learning, but for the real world is completely useless (see this thread for explanations http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=dev&msgNo=21144)
