[api-dev] css.awt.SystemPointer: undocumented values
Hello people,
this time, I think this an issue (may be type:defect, component: api,
subcomponent: code [IDL source files]):
Both the online API refrecence and the IDL file in the source code
(offapi/com/sun/star/awt) for the constants group
com.sun.star.awt.SystemPointer references up to 72 constants:
FROM com.sun.star.awt.SystemPointer.ARROW ( = 0 )
TO com.sun.star.awt.SystemPointer.CHAIN_NOTALLOWED ( = 71 )
Playing around with it [1], you can realize that we can count up to 94
(from 0 to 93), this at least on Windows (to try in other OS I will have
to boot my PC...).
For example, what we can call com.sun.star.awt.SystemPointer.PIVOT_DEL
(= 87) - regarding source/vcl/win/source/src/pivotdel.cur - is a mouse
pointer for Calc's data pilot NOT documented [2].
[1] The following is a very simple implementation of XMouseListener that
increments the value of the constant everytime the mouse enters a control:
private int mousePointer = 0;
//...
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent oEvent){
System.out.println(Mouse entered! Constant value= +
mousePointer);
changeMousePointer( mousePointer++, oEvent.Source );
}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent oEvent) {
changeMousePointer(SystemPointer.ARROW, oEvent.Source );
}
private void changeMousePointer(
int aSystemPointer,
Object aControl){
try {
XControl xControl = (XControl) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XControl.class, aControl);
XWindowPeer xWinPeer = xControl.getPeer();
Object pointer;
pointer = xMCF.createInstanceWithContext(
com.sun.star.awt.Pointer, xCtxt);
com.sun.star.awt.XPointer xPointer =
(com.sun.star.awt.XPointer)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
com.sun.star.awt.XPointer.class, pointer);
xPointer.setType( aSystemPointer );
xWinPeer.setPointer(xPointer);
} catch (com.sun.star.uno.Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

[api-dev] Service names for css.ui.dialogs.XFilePicker / XFolderPicker implementation
Hello people,
I think this an issue (may be type:defect, component: api,
subcomponent: code [IDL source files]/ documentation [Dev's Guide
20.5.2.28]):
as I said on a mail in extensions-dev
[http://extensions.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=devmsgNo=897],
there are three service names you can use to implement an XFilePicker or
an XFolderPicker:
XFilePicker:
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.OfficeFilePicker
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.SystemFilePicker
XFolderPicker:
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FolderPicker
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.OfficeFolderPicker
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.SystemFolderPicker
the difference is explained there on the mail (but just covering the
XFilePicker implementation asked by the developer).
I discovered this by crash and error (crash because Linux builds,
made by distros, NOT by OOo, often broke my FilePickers implementations),
and by querying the SericeManager [1] every once in a while.
Neither the API reference
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/ui/dialogs/FilePicker.html
nor the new chapter of the Developer's Guide
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/GUI/GUI.xhtml#1_5_2_28_File_Picker
tell us about them.
Making this services public to everyone on the API reference (that's the
first place where a developer looks(or should look) for answers [2]),
could help to prevent headaches to developers.
Thanks,
Ariel.
[1] Very simple:
public static void main(String[] args){
XMultiComponentFactory xMCF = null;
XComponentContext xContext;
try {
xContext = Bootstrap.bootstrap();
xMCF = xContext.getServiceManager();
String[] servicesNames = xMCF.getAvailableServiceNames();
java.util.Arrays.sort(servicesNames);
for (String name : servicesNames) {
System.out.println(name);
}
} catch (BootstrapException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
System.exit(0);
}
}
[2] Although
* the service names can be found searching OOo website
[for example
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=devmsgNo=20474]
* and there is even an issue
[http://api.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=81581] reported by an
OOo Basic programmer about the OfficeFilePicker,
* and of course everyone in this mailing list may know about them,
there is still a lack of official documentation in the API reference
and the Dev's Guide.

Hi Alexandro, Alle 09:36, giovedì 11 ottobre 2007, Alexandro Colorado ha scritto: Hi Paolo, In Barcelona I asked you about the possibility of using SimpleSystemMail uno service to be able to send email from OpenOffice.org. The only reference I got to how it works is through the snippet on Andrew Pitonyak's Macro Book. You can find another example in my SnippetCreator wizard (module DlgSnippet - Sub SnippetToEmail ) Sub SendSimpleMail() Dim vMailSystem, vMail, vMessage vMailSystem=createUnoService(com.sun.star.system.SimpleSystemMail) vMail=vMailSystem.querySimpleMailClient() Regarding the problem that you mentioned in your follow-up I've just seen that Mathias has alreadly answered. I can only add that in the SnippetCreator wizard I've used the following strategy: 'try to obtain a mail service oMailService = createUnoService(com.sun.star.system.SimpleSystemMail) If IsNull(oMailService) Then oMailService = createUnoService(com.sun.star.system.SimpleCommandMail) End If If IsNull(oMailService) Then GoTo ErrH End If [] However I want to know if I would need a transport on my system so the API is able to send the email.

I don't catch this point (but I must say that I'm not very acquainted with network things): Even if you run an smtpd server from Python, the API relies on an external mail client program for sending emails, therefore, the external mail client should be previously configured for using your local smtp server. So I don't see any advantages. ciao Paolo M - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
