Bug #: 118896
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: BASIC needs a throwRuntimeException() function
Classification: Code
Product: scripting
Version: version58
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: code
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

There are some things that can only be done by throwing an exception.
For example, Page 13 of
http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/HOW_TO/various_topics/VbaStarBasicXref.pdf,
addressing the differences between VBA and OOo BASIC happily states that "To
cancel the close in OOo, you must
register a listener for the close event and then veto the close."
But at
http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/util/XCloseListener.html
we read that to veto the close the listener has to throw a closeVetoException.
Which BASIC can't do. So you have to jump through a lot of hoops, register a
dispatch interceptor, crash the application if you get it wrong, etc.
Something like throwRuntimeException("com.sun.star.util.CloseVetoException")
would make life easier.
