Hi Matthias,
Sorry for the late answer, but I was very busy. I give you a first draft
how you can add a combo box to a toolbar. Be aware that this solution
needs some effort:
1. You have to implement a toolbar controller to be able to use a combo
box in the tool bar.
2. You have to create a uno package. The configuration file
org.openoffice.Office.UI.Controller.xcu contains all registered user
interface controllers. You have to add your new toolbar controller in
the configuration set "ToolBar". There are some examples in an installed
OOo, see <Office
installation>/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/Controller.xcu.
An toolbar controller in the Controller.xcu must provide three properties:
- Command: The command which is associated with your toolbar controller.
- Module: You can associate a controller with a certain module or
leave this empty, so your controller is created for all application modules.
- Controller: This is the implementation name of your uno service.
3. You have to implement the com.sun.star.frame.ToolbarController
service. It's responsible to create the combo box and provide it to the
toolbar implementation. You also have to support several listeners to
react on user input.
4. You have to create you combo box with the toolkit service:
com.sun.star.awt.Toolkit. It has one interface
com.sun.star.awt.XToolkit, where you can call createWindow(...).
5. The toolbar controller has to provide the combo box in the call
createItemWindow(...) . You have to use the provided parent window to
create your combo box (see interface com.sun.star.frame.XToolbarController).
These are the first steps to add a custom combo box into a toolbar. You
should adapt an add-on example from the SDK, so don't have to start from
the scratch.
Regards,
Carsten
