Is there any way to put an array of masses of buttons on an OOo spreadsheet so that they stay put (in the visible window) while the sheet scrolls?
Background: I'm trying to develop a replacement for an app for occasional users which is currently running on Lotus 123 R5 under Win 3.1! On that it's done by splitting the screen right-left, putting the user entry area in the left half and the buttons in the right half and desynching the scroll but OOo doesn't seem to support that (and in any case that was prone to occasional users scrolling things off screen). But that layout is what I'd like to get. I looked at toolbars but a) when you generate the toolbar it just puts in as text whatever name you've given the relevant macro without AFAICS any control over colours or font size and I guess without the ability to indicate keyboard shortcuts. If I dock the generated toolbar on the edge of the window (I don't want to reduce the visible rows - I'd need probably 3 toolbars for all the functions and it's a smallish screen) it rotates the text which is hopeless. Another idea is to open another window with the buttons in it but I'm struggling to access the 2 views independently so that each gets put in it's proper position displaying the right thing. But at best it will look pretty clonky with the extra window frames and the focus flipping between the two; actually t'would be nice if I could full-screen it so users can't move it. There must be a better way? -- Dick Georgeson --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
