Dear, I have some questions about programming OpenOffice.Org, because there are so much material, and I spend much time, and can not have a clear idea, so I send this email and look foward to help.
What I want to do 1. Use SWriter to support one type file which is also based on XML, and it will link to some images. 2. While operating this file by SWiter, I need forbidden some operation in current OpenOffice.Org, such as many menu and function Key like F5, the reason is that my own format is simpler than ODF and I need no many setting, so I want to use my own menu or toolbar which just have simple operation like copy & Paste or InsertString, so change the color of selected content. 3. I want to make one filter that support my own format convert to ODF and ODF to my format. Based on the knowledge I reaearch, I guess I need 1. Learn method to build Ooo, or part of it, Then I can develop the filter of mine, Is it right? 2. I need have some research on the GUI of SWriter if I want to use customize menu Is it right? I have some puzzle 1. Where should I begin? 2. How to develop the component of GUI in OOO? 3. The develop tool of Ooo component, is there some IDE like VS2003? Anyway, I think it is better to take part in many discussion and real develop in Ooo, Would you like give me a hint? Thank you very much! Regards, Mynfred
