Why would you want to reimplement getLineBreak()? Isn't implementing and overloading makeIndex() sufficient? What makes it different from the approach used in BreakIterator_hi::makeIndex() of breakiterator_hi.cxx, for example? > >Although I have successfully subclassed BreakIterator_CTL, I am not able > >to return the right results.

If you do it similar to what is done in BreakIterator_CTL::getLineBreak() this sounds more like not the assignment to LineBreakResults.breakType is crashing, but accessing the previousCellIndex[] array is out of bounds instead.

What value do I copy into the rHyphenatedWord ? This doesn't sound like you reimplemented BreakIterator_CTL::getLineBreak() but BreakIterator_Unicode::getLineBreak() instead. To me this sounds wrong, but you may have your reasons for doing so. What are you trying to achieve? Note that LineBreakResults.rHyphenatedWord is a reference to an _interface_ type of CSS::linguistic2::XHyphenatedWord, not a string or such. This is normally handled in BreakIterator_Unicode::getLineBreak() called by BreakIterator_CTL::getLineBreak(). Here again my question: why would you want to reimplement everything? > >In my script, there is no hyphen to denote a line break; the line just > >breaks after the grapheme.

BreakIterator_CTL::getLineBreak() and BreakIterator_Unicode::getLineBreak() take care of that, and if you just implement makeIndex() correctly and then assign the previous cell boundary to LineBreakResults.breakIndex it should work out of the box. Otherwise please be more specific why you want to reimplement everything. > >An example code to copy the word and insert the appropriate break > >character at any position would be greatly appreciated. You don't copy the word and insert characters. The application decides according to the LineBreakResults what it has to do at the position of the linebreak. > >Also if possible, a link to the API documentation for BreakIterator would > >be very helpful. http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/i18n/XBreakIterator.html Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer.
