Hi Terry,

unfortunately, such API is not yet supported by draw or impress. Are
you aware of the keyboard shortcut F2 which starts text editing?
I'm not sure what you like to achieve with the scripting but for
handicapped people that are unable to use the mouse, there are keyboard
shortcuts for everything. For example you can travel the shapes by
using the tabulator key.

Hope that helps,
Christian

Hi there list! I have a question.

Many of my Users are elderly and they have bad mouse dexterity. At the moment, 
if I select a TextShape via UNO in Draw, I cannot then use UNO to open that 
TextShape for editing. So the poor users have to move the mouse and double 
click the area. They get it wrong all the time because they shake and click too 
many/few times.

When a document has a TextShape [ com.sun.star.drawing.TextShape ], it seems 
impossible to set the VisibleCursor.


I tried dispatching [properly this time] .uno:Edit and .uno:DoubleClickTextEdit 
, but these seem to be not the action invoked when a user triggers an edit.



I have looked in the Forums, and this question is asked, but it is not 
resolved. There seems to be no equivalent to XTextVisibleCursorSupplier in Draw.


---
To maybe figure out which UNO events would replicate a user editing that shape 
I could trap the events.

Is there any way to log the uno events being invoked by the user? I have 
installed the ObjectInspector, and it doesn't have that trapping ability just 
yet [ 2007-03-01 ].

Thank you for your time.

Terry.
