My attempt at a solution has been to put together the wiki
http://ext.openoffice.org.nz. In that wiki I and others have written
functions (together with documentation) that people can copy and paste
into their own macros. Eventually I hope that we will have a sufficient
library of routines that writing macros for OOo is at least as easy as
it is in VBA.
For example rather than:
' Selection.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
dim mPrintProperties(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
mPrintProperties(0).name = "CopyCount"
mPrintProperties(0).value = 1
mPrintProperties(1).name = "Collate"
mPrintProperties(1).value = true
thisComponent.print(mPrintProperties())
simply call:
subPrint(thisComponent, nCopies:=1, bCollate:=true)
+1
I would love to see that. I think it would really help.
I see a lot of functions (fnNewDoc, fnOpenDoc, etc) that would be really
good to have in a library. I would be interested in making a Python
version of the library. We can call it "Ian's EasyUNO Library". So, in
Python, people could just write:
import from easyuno *
easyuno.print("Hello world")
You get the idea.
I hope more people will add to this wiki. [Hint: If anyone is willing to
help fund my time then I could put a lot more time into this, with the
eventual aim of converting VBA macros].
I don't have funds to give, but if I every do, or come accross someone
who does, you'll hear about it.
Cheers,
Daniel.
