--- Comment #2 from Andrew Lentvorski <[email protected]> ---
I can't say I'm surprised.  I figured that if it were easy to do, then it would
have been done already.

This isn't unique to LO.  Nobody has a good answer to this.  Blender wrote its
own widgets in order to communicate effectively with Python.  LO and KiCad weld
in specific versions of Python.  I don't know of anybody who has a complex
application which allows external processes to drive them effectively.  (I
haven't tried VBScript or AppleScript in a long time, so I can't comment about
those.)

I presume that the only effective way would be to convert the URE into a
serialization layer with and have IPC/RPC use that.

And I say this as someone who is sitting here, writing what is effectively a
crappy web spreadsheet in Javascript *again*, when what is really needed is to
drive LO in real-time from an outside process.

I know it won't happen soon.  But, if I don't at least file something, it will
happen *never*.
