Hi Fernand,
For months i am looking for the best solutions to manipulating data in
Dialogs instead of forms.
Just this morning, sitting in the subway and having no newspaper to read
:), I wondered whether it would make sense to implement the runtime code
for all the database controls in dialogs. Adding a full-blown dedicated
UI for creating "database dialogs" would be an additional effort, but
perhaps it would be valueable having only the "runtime", i.e. the
ability to programmatically create and execute such dialogs. As a first
step, at least.
This sounds a little familiar to something we discussed on this list in
the past ( it wasn't exactly the same thing, but if you remember we
talked about using form control models ( especially data aware ones )
with the toolkit controls in dialogs ) as such, I think supporting
database controls is a great idea :-)
Btw I use currently use the form control models with the toolkit
controls ( and it seems to work well ) in ooo-build, the (self imposed)
limitation is that this is only available 'transiently' when importing
MSO 'Userform' controls. Not sure if any of the work I have done is that
useful in this case but I'd happily attach it/upload [*] etc. somewhere
should you want it or think it's useful. In anycase I am interested in
upstreaming this code anyway but I was thinking about doing that in the
context of a future vba support CWS.
However, as I said at the moment it really isn't suitable to be used
with Openoffice directly ( lack of ui/persistence support for one ) and
I haven't had the time to concentrate on that part of it :-/ It sounds
though that any work in this area would be relevant to ( and affect ) a
'proper' solution for what I would like to do, so I am very interested
Noel
[*] currently I don't recall exactly what I have in terms of changes but
iirc it's just a cheap and nasty solution to use the appropriate (form)
models when the dialog is in vba mode
