From my point of view you should provide all functions of your
component with an add-on (menu bar, toolbar, popup menu in the add-on
menu).
Well, the functionality I want to provide is not supposed to be
visible by default, nor do I wish to force a certain menu/toolbar
location on the user. I'd like the user to determine if and where he
can access the function. I think I'll create a macro library whose
functions simply call the Java component. Then the user can add the
respective macros via Tools/Customize.../Add.. Not as elegant as
having my own category but it should work. The only problem then is
that I can't provide predefined icons for my functions.
Hi Matthias,
Now I see your point and I think your idea is good. Unfortunately OOo
has currently no support to enhance the built-in commands. The current
concept to add functions to OOo is based on add-ons. Only Calc has an
function based extension concept called add-in.
May be you want to write a request for enhancement as we think to extend
our add-on concept for the next major version. Any information what
external developers need can be of great value for us.
Regards,
Carsten
