Hi,
Why is it that some properties on some objects/services are not settable
from BASIC?
Like for example
"ThisComponent.getTextSections().getByName("sectionName").IsAutomaticUpdate
= True" has no effect
Is it some way to "fix" it?
it looks like this property only has an effect with DDE links, not file
links: see lcl_UpdateLinkType in sw/source/core/unocore/unosect.cxx
are you using DDE? IIRC this works only on Windows?
I'm also trying to set
oDoc.getTextSections().getByName("sectionName").FileLink.FileURL, but
it's also not possible.
Am i doing it the wrong way?
seems the FileLink is some UNO struct.
the following seems to work:
dim l as new com.sun.star.text.SectionFileLink
l.FileURL = "file:///tmp/foo.odt"
ThisComponent.getTextSections().getByName("Section1").setPropertyValue("FileLink",l)
this then seems to remove the link again:
l.FileURL = ""
ThisComponent.getTextSections().getByName("Section1").setPropertyValue("FileLink",l)
I remember I've had this problem before, long time ago. I think I was
trying to set some properties on a hyperlink.
Can we take some action to fix this kind of issues?
well, basic has a horrible syntax that i find impossible to remember.
perhaps you have the same problem :)
Would it help to write my addons in C++? Or would that not make a
difference?
hmm... C++ also has a horrible syntax... choose your poison :)
regards,
michael
