Hi,
please assueme one creates a new OOo document, moves the window of the
document using the mouse and closes the document again. If you now
create a new document, it will be placed to the position of the
previous document.
How can I modify this default-position in a programmatic way?
Hi Christoph,
I am not sure if this can really be done, it depends on the current
implementation. I will describe a way you can try out. OpenOffice.org
stores the default position of every document type in the configuration
file Setup.xcu. You can find the file here: <User
folder>/registry/data/org/openoffice/Setup.xcu. The user folder is
normally located under Unix in your home directory. Under Windows
normally in <System Drive>:/Documents and
Settings/<username>/Application Data. I copied the following snippet
from my Office installation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<oor:component-data xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; oor:name="Setup"
oor:package="org.openoffice">
<node oor:name="L10N">
<prop oor:name="ooLocale" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>en-US</value>
</prop>
</node>
<node oor:name="Office">
<prop oor:name="ooSetupInstCompleted" oor:type="xs:boolean">
<value>true</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="LicenseAcceptDate" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>2006-07-14T08:05:09</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="FirstStartWizardCompleted" oor:type="xs:boolean">
<value>true</value>
</prop>
<node oor:name="Factories">
<node oor:name="com.sun.star.frame.StartModule">
<prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>114,175,952,711;1;0,0,0,0;</value>
</prop>
</node>
<node oor:name="com.sun.star.text.TextDocument">
<prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>99,113,1179,908;1;0,0,0,0;</value>
</prop>
</node>
</node>
</node>
</oor:component-data>
You can see that the configuration set "Factories" contains nodes for
every appplication module, in the example
"com.sun.star.frame.StartModule" and "com.sun.star.text.TextDocument".
The property called "ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" stores the left,top
position and the width and height in pixel. You can use the
configuration API to change these values programmatically.
I am not sure if the current implementation reads the values for every
new window or if it just uses internal values. So it's possible that the
values are only read once from the configuration at startup time. Be
aware that these values will be overwritten when a user changes the
position or size of an application window.

Carsten
