Hello.
Please excuse me if I am sending this to the wrong
list. This seemed to be the most appropriate. I am
wanting to modify OpenOffice to act similar to
Microsoft's Netmeeting. Specifically, I would like to
modify it so that there would be a client and a
server. When OO starts up it would have a dialog
asking for an Impress file to serve which would also
be opened as normal. The client OO would start up
with a dialog that would ask for the IP address of a
server. The client would then get the file and open
it up. And finally, the user of the server would be
able to click through the Impress document and the
change of slides would also occur on the client.
My basic question boils down to, is this possible
using UNO or will I need to change the base code?
Specifically, is it possible to instantiate some
object when OOo starts so that my dialog would pop up
first and then I could return control to OOo is the
user decided not to use the server or start up the
server otherwise? From what I understand from the
SDK, UNO provides the ability to get the remote
document fairly easily. I can then intercept any
keystrokes and mouse-clicks on the "client" so to
prevent the "client user" from moving around during
the presentation. I can use urp to get messages from
the "server" about mouse-clicks so that the "client"
will change slides when the server does. Are these
valid ideas? Am I completely off? I have spent the
past 3 or 4 weeks reading through the SDK trying to
grasp all of the concepts. However, I would like to
try to avoid any unneccessary work by going down a
path that is completely wrong. From what I understand
from the SDK, I can do most of the above using UNO but
the opening dialog is what I am not sure about. I
have looked at OOoBasic, but I really do not
understand what is going on there yet. If it is
possible to program this dialog, is it possible to do
this with C++? Java is not my forte but seems to be
what most of the documents in the SDK use and it may
be better if I go that route.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide
me.
Brad
