Do you want to join the Mac OS X porting team?  Brilliant Idea.

I have carbon copied the Mac OS X porting mail list so that we can
add this to our base of knowledge.

Hi porters,

I found a solution to my problem, and i would like to share it :

you need to modify the applescript located in
"OpenOffice.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/Main.spt" :
just add the following code :
---------------------------------------------
on macro(theMacro)
        if (preRun()) then
                openMacro(theMacro)
        end if
        
end macro

on openMacro(aMacro)
        set theDisplay to startXServer()
        if (theDisplay is equal to "error") then
                return
        end if
        set theEnv to "DISPLAY=" & theDisplay & " ; export DISPLAY; "

"\" "
        set theScript to theEnv & theCmd & " 'macro:///" & aMacro & "' " & "
&>/dev/null & echo $!"
        -- display dialog theScript
        do shell script theScript
end openMacro
---------------------------------------------

That's all !

Now, we can call OpenOffice and ask it to execute a macro like this :

tell application "OpenOffice.org2.0"
        macro("Standard.Module1.myMacro(aParam)")
end tell


Note :
if you send a file's path, you need to write it the unix way, not the
mac way :
- mac way :  "absolute:path:to:the:file"
- unix way : "/Volumes/absolute/path/to/the/file"

example of a call with a file as param :
tell application "OpenOffice.org2.0"

end tell



Hope this helps,


Michel Renon

Hi porters,

I did a quick search on users mailing list and found nothing, so i
come here as it is Mac related.
Sorry if it is off-topic.


My question :
I'm writing a software with a RAD tool (4th Dimension) and i would
like my software to communicate with OpenOffice :
I already can :
- launch openoffice
- open a list of documents



But how can i
- open a new document from template (template name as parameter)
- execute a macro (macro name as parameter)
?


Thanks for any information,

Michel
