It is the client code responsibility to check this and register the new data source in case the test fails. But this does not affect the database fieldmasters in the document, that are still pointing to the old datasource. Updating/refreshing the fields as Fernand suggested does not work; as far as I could understand reading the implementation, you have to instantiate new field masters for your new data source (because Writer does not seem to create them until they are in use, that is, until the user really inserts a field), and then update all the fields in the documents iterating on the text field collection (not via XRefreshable.refresh()). I haven't test any of these, but it seems to be what happens internally when .uno:ChangeDatabaseField is dispatched: * the slot id FN_CHANGE_DBFIELD is executed by the SwBaseShell, void SwBaseShell::ExecField http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m106/sw/source/ui/shells/basesh.cxx#2914 * the dialog impl. is SwChangeDBDlg http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m106/sw/source/ui/inc/changedb.hxx http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m106/sw/source/ui/fldui/changedb.cxx You can see how two different things happen there: a) changing the data source, will lead to void SwDoc::ChgDBData(const SwDBData rNewData) http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m106/sw/source/core/doc/doc.cxx#682 b) updating the document's field will lead to void SwDoc::ChangeDBFields( const SvStringsDtor rOldNames, const String rNewName ) http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m106/sw/source/core/doc/docfld.cxx#1908 Using the API to change the com.sun.star.text.DocumentSettings does the same as (a), it calls SwDoc::ChgDBData http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m106/sw/source/ui/uno/SwXDocumentSettings.cxx#465 It seems that I'm missing something. the above shows you are missing (b), it is not enough to change the com.sun.star.text.DocumentSettings, you have to instantiate the field masters, and modify the existing fields. Note that SwDoc::ChangeDBFields does a few things more: it updates the text section's condition (a text section may bi hidden according to a db related condition like Datasource.Table.Field EQ Something so you have to change Dataource.Table to newdatasource.newtable in your example) http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m106/sw/source/core/doc/docfld.cxx#1918 it updates *not only* database fields, but also other text fields, see the switch in http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m106/sw/source/core/doc/docfld.cxx#1947 Hope this helps.

As you can see in DevGuide/Extensions/Extension_Identifiers, the identifier used for the extension must be unique, even among extensions that are logically the same but support different platforms. Besides, the file description.xml must contain a platform element with the platform token. this is true if you take the approach of creating one OXT file for each platform/architecture, so you must have a) MyExtension_Linux_x86.oxt b) MyExtension_Linux_x86_64.oxt c) ... all with the same extension identifier in description.xml but a) platform value=linux_x86/ b) platform value=linux_x86_64/ c) ... or you can take the approach of having only one OXT file, without specifying the platform in description.xml; placing inside the extension's root dir. a directory for every plat./arch. with the respective library OXT_ROOT_DIR/Windows/mylib.uno.dll OXT_ROOT_DIR/Linux_x86/libmylib.uno.so OXT_ROOT_DIR/Linux_x86_64/libmylib.uno.so and leave platform/arch. handling in the manifest only: OXT_ROOT_DIR//META-INF/manifest.xml manifest:file-entry manifest:media-type=application/vnd.sun.star.uno- component;type=native;platform=Linux_x86 manifest:full-path=Linux_x86/libmylib.uno.so/ manifest:file-entry manifest:media-type=application/vnd.sun.star.uno- component;type=native;platform=Linux_x86_64 manifest:full-path=Linux_x86_64/libmylib.uno.so/ manifest:file-entry manifest:media-type=application/vnd.sun.star.uno- component;type=native;platform=Windows manifest:full-path=Windows/mylib.uno.dll/ I guess this approach will have the drawback that if you do not provide a component library for the respective platform/arch. where the extension is installed, the user gets the extension installed anyway without any warning. I thought that this token could be obtained automatically from the sdk, to avoid setting it manually. AFAIK it is not possible. Both $(PLATFORM) and $(PROCTYPE) are there to help set, in some cases, $(UNOPKG_PLATFORM), which is used for the name of the folder containing the UNO component library, and for setting the platform in the manifest' media- type; see for example http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m78/odk/examples/cpp/complextoolbarcontrols/Makefile#121 If it is not possible, I would like to know why.

You can submit an issue asking for this enhancement. In the meantime, using the OOo SDK build environ. you can find a solution adding some custom include to your makefile (it easier to maintain than adding it to your main makefile) right after including OOo SDK's ones, something like: include set_env/project_platform_settings.mk where project_platform_settings.mk has some conditional definition (using the variables already set by the SDK) of a variable, let's say, DESCRIPTION_PLATFORM, that you use to generate the correct platform in the description.xml: @echo $(SQM)$(SQM)$(OSEP)platform value=$(QM)$(DESCRIPTION_PLATFORM)$(QM)/$(CSEP) $@ (this assumes you are using the approach of echoing the description.xml, as the SDK makefiles do with the manifest.xml).

Hello Martin, On Sunday 23 May 2010, 15:17, Martin Dobiasch wrote: What my code should be: AddOn and AddIn as the extension im working on needs both. One way to avoid this would be to have the addin replaced by some Basic-Code. Is this possible? an Add-In (written in any language that can implement UNO components) provides new functions that can be used in OOo Calc cells just like any other built-in function. OOo Calc can also look for functions written in OOo Basic, placed in OOo Basic Standard libraries, but not in Basic libraries provided by extensions. So, if you want your extension to provide new functions to OOo Calc, you must implement an OOo Calc Add-In. If you also want to implement an Add-On, you can do both things in the same extension, even in the same JAR file: design a Java class for the component implementing the ProtocolHandler, and another one for the Calc Add-in component; that is 2 UNO components in one JAR file. This is possible and good practice (IMHO implementing both the Add-In and the ProtocolHandler in the same component is no good idea: both components need to have their own lifetime cycle, are instantiated by different implementations, etc.) My Problem within the addin: I need access to the SpreadsheetDocument or access to one specific sheet (specified by name). access to one spreadsheet is no good practice for an Add-In: it only provides a function that can take some parameters and return values. Why do you need access to one sheet? Please explain, there may be another solution for your use case. If you want the result to appear in a specific sheet, it is the user who has to put the result returned by your function on that specific sheet, just like s/he does with built-in functions. If you want to read data from a specific sheet, it is also up to the user to send the data as parameter to your function. I've added as you suggested XPropertySet as Parameter. The documentation Says its an interface to the SpreadsheetDocument. the XPropertySet is there just in case your Add-In function needs to query some specific settings (like the locale, or formatting settings), but IMHO is no good practice to modify the document. Your Add-In function is just a function that processes the data it receives and returns some values. Even modifying the css.table.XCellRange the function can receive may be questionable. But how do I query for it? just like you do with any other object in OOo API Java language binding: use UnoRuntime.queryInterface and check if the returned object is not null.

Now if you want to adjust the OOo document's XFrame's containerWindow posSize to include the Window decoration (borders and title bar), you would have to do something like: posSize~x -= insets~left posSize~Y -= insets~top posSize~width += insets~left + insets~right posSize~height += insets~top + insets~bottom much like http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m75/vcl/source/window/window.cxx#7468 I'll try to wrap this in a css::awt::XWindow3 [my god, what awfulness!] API and test how it works (indeed quite easy task, no rocket science). It's interesting to see that some developer needed such a thing (and other missing features in OOo API), but instead of improving the API he designed something ad hoc; that in fact does not work for your use case, because it checks you pass a valid parent window, and top windows have no parent: http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m75/sd/source/ui/presenter/PresenterHelper.cxx#325 Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@api.openoffice.org

Hello,
I have an issue with searching the place where the reference points to. I
dont understand how to do that.
I use the following code to iterate through the text:

while (range.hasMoreElements()) {
XTextRange xTextPortion = (XTextRange) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XTextRange.class, range.nextElement());

At some moment xTextPortion will contain a text which is in fact a
reference to some other part of the document (for example, chapter).
And I want to determine where the reference points to (maybe in future i
will need to go to this place...).
Example of document structure:
--
Chapter 1.
SubChapter 1.1
SubChapter 1.2
Chapter 2
A *reference to the SubChapter 1.1*
--
*reference to the SubChapter 1.1* can be replaced by any text and I need to
find SubChapter 1.1 (the place where reference points to) using only
OpenOffice.org API.
As I know the reference can point only to exact place.
Also, I have the following property on XTextRange object:
Property[ReferenceMark] = Any[Type[com.sun.star.text.XTextContent], null]
Can somebody give me an example of code which is suitable for this task?

Maybe the route I am taking is false, or I do not see the forest for the trees, or the information is not available via UNO. thank you! Unfortunately, this does not help solve the problem. --- The problem rephrased would be: using UNO, how can one get a hold of the e.g. Windows window in which OOo creates its components, such that one can get the exact window position, width and height? let me see if I get you... You want to get the window dimensions including the window decorations (that is: the window border and the window title bar). You are in the right way searching through the container window: *this* is the system window the frame (where the document is loaded) is initialized with. The problem is that OOo API does not take into account the window manager hints (window decorations, window border and the window title bar). The closest I could get was working with the com.sun.star.awt.DeviceInfo.TopInset (in Linux [well, on Fedora with KDE 4.4] this gives me an approximate idea of the window title bar height). Nevertheless this gives no idea about the window borders. Play with this awful example: http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/devel/ooo/SystemWindow.tar.gz As OOo API can't handle to bring the window to the front, you will have to do it manually (read the comments main method). May be the underlying implementation (the vcl WorkWindow/SystemWindow/Window) knows how to get this data, sure Carsten joins the discussion and gives us some light.

[api-dev] How to avoid Python bridge conversion of SequencePropertyValue to Sequence:Any
Hi there, In Python, I need to transport a css::uno::Sequencecss::beans::PropertyValue inside the css.document.MediaDescriptor's FilterData for the PDF export filter. I guess (my PyUNO knowledge is rather limited... as I don't like Python that much...) the Python code may look like this: aFilterData = ( PropertyValue( DisplayPDFDocumentTitle, 0, False, DIRECT_VALUE ), PropertyValue( OpenInFullScreenMode, 0, True, DIRECT_VALUE ), PropertyValue( ResizeWindowToInitialPage, 0, True, DIRECT_VALUE ), PropertyValue( HideViewerMenubar, 0, True, DIRECT_VALUE ), PropertyValue( HideViewerToolbar, 0, True, DIRECT_VALUE ), PropertyValue( Selection, 0, oSel, DIRECT_VALUE ) ) aMediaDescriptor = ( PropertyValue( FilterName, 0, writer_pdf_Export, DIRECT_VALUE ), PropertyValue( FilterData, 0, aFilterData, DIRECT_VALUE ) ) xTextDoc.storeToURL( sURL, aMediaDescriptor ) (complete code attached) what in Java looks like this: PropertyValue[] aMediaDescriptor = new PropertyValue[2]; aMediaDescriptor[0] = new PropertyValue(); aMediaDescriptor[0].Name = FilterName; aMediaDescriptor[0].Value = writer_pdf_Export; PropertyValue[] aFilterData = new PropertyValue[6]; aFilterData[0] = new PropertyValue(); aFilterData[0].Name = Selection; aFilterData[0].Value = oSelection; aFilterData[1] = new PropertyValue(); aFilterData[1].Name = DisplayPDFDocumentTitle; aFilterData[1].Value = Boolean.FALSE; aFilterData[2] = new PropertyValue(); aFilterData[2].Name = OpenInFullScreenMode; aFilterData[2].Value = Boolean.TRUE; aFilterData[3] = new PropertyValue(); aFilterData[3].Name = ResizeWindowToInitialPage; aFilterData[3].Value = Boolean.TRUE; aFilterData[4] = new PropertyValue(); aFilterData[4].Name = HideViewerMenubar; aFilterData[4].Value = Boolean.TRUE; aFilterData[5] = new PropertyValue(); aFilterData[5].Name = HideViewerToolbar; aFilterData[5].Value = Boolean.TRUE; aMediaDescriptor[1] = new PropertyValue(); aMediaDescriptor[1].Name = FilterData; aMediaDescriptor[1].Value = aFilterData; XStorable xStorable = (XStorable) UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XStorable.class, xTextDocument); xStorable.storeToURL(sURL, aMediaDescriptor); and in OOo Basic looks like the code in http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/docs/PDF_export_FilterData_demo.odt The problem is that with the above code, the PyUNO bridge transports the FilterData as a css::uno::Sequencecss::uno::Any instead of a css::uno::Sequencecss::beans::PropertyValue and the convertion fails in the filter code http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m68/filter/source/pdf/pdffilter.cxx#71 so that the filter ends up reading the configuration instead of the FilterData passed. The problem is the same as in http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12504 The problem is, that the writer code expects a sequencePropertyValue as the any argument of replaceByIndex, but python delivers a sequenceany, where each member is of type PropertyValue. but the workaround in FAQ Nr. 15 didn't work for me cf. http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html#faq and http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12504#desc12 Any hints on how to tell the PyUNO bridge to do things as really wanted are very welcome.

I'm just an API client, so the following is just guessing (Carsten Diesner usually reads this mailing list, sure the mail subject catches his attention; he could give you a better advice, as he developed the code). * as far as I could see, the window state configuration is stored globally; even if the doc has its own UI elements, as long as they are persistent, their window state is stored globally, per module Sub Hide_Standard_Toolbar() Dim oDoc As Object Dim oFrame Dim element Dim layoutmanager oDoc = ThisComponent Dim oUIConfigurationManager as Object oUIConfigurationManager = oDoc.getUIConfigurationManager() oFrame = oDoc.getCurrentController().getFrame() layoutmanager = oFrame.LayoutManager element = layoutmanager.getElement(private:resource/toolbar/standardbar) element.ConfigurationSource = oUIConfigurationManager * does this switch the storage? I mean, if the toolbar wasn't stored in the document, changing the configuration source copies the module toolbar into the document storage? I didn't try if this works. element.Persistent = true * you should do the opposite: setting this to true stores the window state at the module level cf. http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m61/framework/source/layoutmanager/layoutmanager.cxx#1545 spec. 1573 I'd try the following: * do not access the toolbar by the LayoutManager and then change the ConfigurationSource. Use the way you already learn by getting it from the configuration manager (first try to see if the document already has a customized version in its storage; if not, get it from the module ui config. manager, and copy it in the document ui config. manager). You can make a helper method getToolbar(sResourceURL) for this. This way you make sure that you're always working with the toolbar at document level, not module. * now fool the LayoutManager to set it not visible without storing the window state information: Dim oLayoutManager as Object oLayoutManager = oDoc.getCurrentController().getFrame().getPropertyValue(LayoutManager) Dim oUIElement as Object oUIElement = oLayoutManager.getElement(OOO_WRITER_STANDARD_TOOLBAR) 'Fool the LayoutManager oUIElement.Persistent = False oLayoutManager.hideElement(OOO_WRITER_STANDARD_TOOLBAR) 'Set it Persistent again oUIElement.Persistent = True I've updated the doc with a new sub http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/docs/com.sun.star.ui.XUIConfigirationManager.odt I didn't test much, but that trick seems to work.

[api-dev] css.document.XDocumentEventBroadcaster supported since when and by who?
Hi there,
I used the css.document.XDocumentEventBroadcaster that is supposed to replace
the XEventBroadcaster interface, which should not be used anymore , but
http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m61/offapi/com/sun/star/document/XDocumentEventBroadcaster.idl
has no since tag and a Job that added a listener did nothing, so I changed the
code to work both with the old and the new interfaces:
// only listen for documents that can be printed
uno::Reference view::XPrintable xPrintable( xModel, uno::UNO_QUERY );
if ( xPrintable.is() )
{
uno::Reference document::XDocumentEventBroadcaster xBroadcaster(
xModel, uno::UNO_QUERY );
if ( xBroadcaster.is() )
{
uno::Reference document::XDocumentEventListener xDocListener(
static_cast document::XDocumentEventListener* ( new
MyUpdateOnPrintListener() ), uno::UNO_QUERY);
xBroadcaster-addDocumentEventListener( xDocListener );
}
else
{
uno::Reference document::XEventBroadcaster xOldBroadcaster(
xModel, uno::UNO_QUERY );
if ( xOldBroadcaster.is() )
{
uno::Reference document::XEventListener xDocListener(
static_cast document::XEventListener* ( new MyUpdateOnPrintListener() ),
uno::UNO_QUERY);
xOldBroadcaster-addEventListener( xDocListener );
}
}
}
to my surprise, xBroadcaster.is() evaluates to false for every office document
(where xPrintable.is() evaluates to true - that, I guess, is every document
but OOo Base's ones).
The should not be used anymore is rather misleading: or there is a new way
to get this broadcaster interface from a document, or no office document is
supporting this right now, so you must stay with the old one.
Is XDocumentEventBroadcaster supported? By which services? since when?

I created a menu command, but when I click on it I get error: This operation is not supported on this operating system. If I understood you clearly, you can not insert your embedded object in an OOo document, so you can not test if it works (so your it does not do anything above). The simplest way of inserting an embedded object is from the menu Insert Object OLE Object This will open a dialog like the one you can see here: http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/images/jmol_ole.png For your embedded object to appear on the list, you need a configuration file, in the sample on JmolEmbeddedObject/registry/org/openoffice/Office/Embedding.xcu You have to set the ObjectUIName , which can be localized (on the sample Jmol 3-D chemical structure) [and it may be needed that your factory works; don't know how this is implemented internally, but in other cases I've seen OOo instantiating the factories before filling a list with available features] You may have noticed that you need a UUID as CLSID for your embedded object (you need it both in the Embedding.xcu and the sources). On Linux it's easy to create them ~]$ uuid -v4 -m -n 6 -1 will give you six different UUIDs. You can also try to insert your embedded object using OOo API. See the code on the OOo Basic library inside the Jmol sample (EmbedObjectFactory/EmbedObjectFactoryTest.xba), you can find it among the office libraries if you install the sample OXT. If you want your own menu entry under Insert Object, (like OOo Math has its own under Insert Object Formula), you'll need a ProtocolHandler; and you'll need a little more work (as you have to insert the object, you need to take care of the document type [OLE objects are inserted in a different way on the different OOo applications], the current selection, etc.; and once inserted you have to call a doVerb() on the object to open the UI). I have built Jmol plug-in from the code you provided in mailing list, so my build setup should be ok. take care of the settings in Embedding.xcu, they must match the ones you use in the source code, otherwise your factory can not be instantiated. I'm using NetBeans 6.5 with OpenOffice.org API plug-in 2.0.4 and OpenOffice 3.1.1. I actually have several questions: - How does Jmol example plug-in creates embedded object? I see it is provided in example document, but is it created manually? this may be clear from the answers above. - It looks that my menu command doesn't get to the plug-in code at all, which part is the entrance point into the plug-ins logic? the class implementing com.sun.star.embed.XEmbedObjectFactory. You will have to study this by debugging. Take the Jmol sample NB project, and set breakpoints in every method (specially JmolEmbeddedObjectFactory.createInstanceUserInit() ) Select the NB menu to debug the extension in the target office [this is IMHO the best practice, because it creates a new user directory inside the NB project, that is deleted when you clean the project], then insert a new embedded object via Insert Object OLE Object Jmol 3-D chemical structure, and start debugging. - Which files usually are put under revision control? Should I include NetBeans project files? this is up to you. The best may be to arrange everything so that the sources are independent from the IDE you choose.

I have looked this sample. Its very useful for me. But there is problem: When you getting document configuration manager, it looks like Dim oDoc as Object oDoc = ThisComponent Dim oUIConfigurationManager as Object oUIConfigurationManager = oDoc.getUIConfigurationManager() but I am writing application in Java. And I can not understand how to get this configuration manager. sorry, I was too lazy to write something new in Java, I just copied and pasted some OOo Basic code I have. First lesson in OOo API must be: learn how to use the API reference. So, you don't know how to get access to this method getUIConfigurationManager()? then search for it in the global index: http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/index-files/index-7.html there you find two methods: getUIConfigurationManager() - function in interface ::com::sun::star::ui:: .XUIConfigurationManagerSupplier getUIConfigurationManager() - function in interface ::com::sun::star::ui:: .XModuleUIConfigurationManagerSupplier the names of the interfaces tell you everything: the one with xxxModulexxx is for accessing the global UI configuration. ::com::sun::star::ui:: XUIConfigurationManagerSupplier is implemented by the documents. So query this last interface on the object you get with loadComponentFromURL(), check the reference is not null, and then invoke getUIConfigurationManager() XComponentContext xContext = Bootstrap.bootstrap(); XMultiComponentFactory xMCF = xContext.getServiceManager(); Object oDesktop = xMCF.createInstanceWithContext(com.sun.star.frame.Desktop, xContext); XComponentLoader xCLoader = (XComponentLoader) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XComponentLoader.class, oDesktop); PropertyValue[] szEmptyArgs = new PropertyValue[0]; XComponent Doc = xCLoader.loadComponentFromURL(private:factory/swriter, _blank, 0, szEmptyArgs); And now, how to get configuration manager. There is no getUIConfiguratinManager method in Doc. you get by loadComponentFromURL() an object that implements XComponent. On that object you have to query all the interfaces it is supposed to implement (or all interfaces you intend to use, if the object does not implement it, you'll get a null reference). In your case, query XUIConfigurationManagerSupplier As it may be quite difficult to remember all interfaces an object implements, for learning the OOo API you may find useful a tool called Xray that can introspect every object in OOo API.

Eight of the buttons does basically the same thing, but to different objects, so I need to write 8 macros for these, one for each button, since I can not call a subroutine with parameters from a command button. but you get an event object, see bellow... My solution right now is to let the buttons call each own subroutine, for example the first button calls: Sub MySub1 MySub(1) End Sub So all the subroutines call MySub, but with different parameters, and of course MySub looks something like this: Sub MySub(X As Integer) Dim CtlName As String Dim Ctl As Object Ctl=Dlg.getControl(ComboBox + LTrim(Str(X))) ' Well, then it's doing stuff with Ctl and so on… End Sub Of the easiest way would to assign the first button to MySub(1) and so on, making 8 subroutines unnecessary, but no matter what I try it doesn't seem like this is possible. Another solution would be to let all the 8 buttons call this one and only subroutine: Sub MySub Dim X As String X=Blahblah ' The name of the last button that was pressed… Select Case X Case CommandButton1 'Do something 'And so on End Select End Sub Hm… when thinking about it, this solution is maybe not that much convenient after all… Suggestions? assign all the buttons to the same macro: Sub BtnPressed(oEvent as Object) Dim oControl as Object Dim oModel as Object oControl = oEvent.Source oModel = oControl.getModel() End Sub In this way, you can access the control and its model, and check what button was pressed (by checking the control's model name, which is unique; or by setting an action command to each button; etc. etc. use your imagination) Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@api.openoffice.org

The button names will be unique when you add them to a document via the controls toolbar or a wizard - but there is no requirement that they be so.

Re: [api-dev] DockingWindows Java
Hello Christina, Carsten, On Friday 21 August 2009, 03:52, Carsten Driesner wrote: I tried to give up on docking support and I've chosen the solution with UNO dialogs. My dialog with the tree control should be non-modal. If the current document window is the parent of my window , my window is not modal . (the user cannot change the focus window- document). There is something I don't understand in your last two sentences. For me it looks like a conflict. If a window is not in modal mode a user CAN change the focus. E.g. the file dialog always starts in modal mode and you cannot change focus to the dependent document window. Sorry, my bad , I intended to write modal. If I set the parent to be the desktop , the two windows are totally independent. In this case I have to handle manually every event like closing the window, resizing it etc ( when the user closes the document window I need my small dialog to be closed too). Is there any other alternative that allows the two windows to be dependent, but also the focus to be changed? How do you start the dialog? Please don't use execute() which starts the dialog in modal mode. You have to use show() otherwise you could see the described behavior. I start the dialog with execute() method from XDialog interface. The XDialog interface doesn't seem to offer a show() method. Is there any other place where I find it? For now , I create a non-modal dialog , creating a different window which is invisible and setting this window as Peer for my dialog. Of course this is a temporary solution because I would need to handle all the events from the document window. Sorry for the late answer but I have tried to look for a solution. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything what can help you here. The object you get via the DialogProvider service just implements XDialog and XTopWindow neither implements anything that you need. I fear that your workaround is currently the best available solution. Please write a request for enhancement and the owner to c...@openoffice.org. I hope that we can extend the implementation to support your use case. I think that one of the issues here is that - according to the API specification - a top window is not a window ... Anyway, the css.awt.XDialog is an css.awt.XTopWindow, so it implements also css.awt.XWindow. Query for this last interface and invoke setVisible(false). You will have to take care of three (or more) things: * setting the window not visible does not close it; there is no close() method for awt windows, you have to dispose them by invoking dispose() * but you have to dispose them when listening at two things: ** when the parent window is being closed: if the window you set at its parent is closed, you may surely want to also close your window ** if you set the frame's container window as parent, it may happen that the document gets closed but not the container window (for example, when this is the last appl. window opened and the user presses the X on the menu bar to close the document but not terminate the office; or when the frame is reused to load another component in it). In case you want your modal-less window to be closed when the document it was opened for gets closed, you have to listen for the document closing event.

[api-dev] Re: I have five text frames on the one page, can I move each frame to a new page?
Hello Chris,

Hello Hrm, I have read through your example... Thank you very much... I
am still stuck... Just a newbie... I'm sure its a simple solution.. Just
cant find it :-(
the problem with your code is that the document with the text frames has only
*one* paragraph, so there is no change to have page breaks == different pages
(a page break is a paragraph property, you only have one paragraph == then,
all text frames are anchored to the very same paragraph; then, when you get
the anchor and insert a page break, you only have one page because it is the
very same and only paragraph you are modifying).
The solution is to insert a new paragraph right after you insert a text frame,
like in my code:
private void insertTextFrames(XTextDocument xTextDocument){
try {
XMultiServiceFactory xDocFactory =
(XMultiServiceFactory) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XMultiServiceFactory.class, xTextDocument);
XText xText = xTextDocument.getText();
XTextCursor xTextCursor =
xText.createTextCursorByRange(xText.getStart());
// first insert the text frames
for (int i = 0; i FRAMES_COUNT; i++) {
insertTextFrame(xDocFactory, xTextCursor);
insertParaBreak(xTextCursor);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Please see my code here below:
see the change I've made to your code (look at the /*===*/ in line 241).
The change only answers the subject of this thread (Re: I have five text frames
on the one page, can I move each frame to a new page?): now every frame is in
its own page. You will have to fix other things to achieve what you're looking
for.

Hi everybody,
my teammate is trying to insert an OLE object in a writer document
like in the OOo menu structure create from file with a given ODS
file. That's what he got for now. But the inserted object shows always
only an extract of the table which is just ca. nine cm in width and
ca. three cm in height. But he wants to see the entire table, if the
table is bigger than the size of 9x3.
...
How can he manipulate the size of the embedded object?
see the Java source code attached.
@Mikhail Voytenko:
I took the freedom to CCed you (IIRC you master the subject).
Here are some doubts I had when looking at the code that used to work fine in
OOo 2.x:
* if you see the C++ code attached, in previous versions I had to change first
the size of the BaseFrame object's shape (that is, change the size of the
visual representation), and then change the embedded object's visual area
size.
Now changing the embedded object's visual area updates automatically the
shape's size, am I right?
Changing first the shape's size makes the spreadsheet document rows higher.
* May be an issue (or my code is bad...):
I'm changing the embedded object's visual area size, so that it's width is no
wider than the width of (the text document page - left/right margins).
But the resulting width is indeed wider. See the example output:
Embedded object Info:
getAspect()= 1
getMapUnit() = 0
getVisualAreaSize().Width = 9,03 cm
getVisualAreaSize().Height = 2,13 cm
BaseFrame object Info:
Width = 9,03 cm
Height = 2,13 cm
Spreadsheet Used Area size:
Width = 22,67 cm
Height = 6,41 cm
TextDocument page text area size:
Width = 17,00 cm
Height = 25,70 cm
New size for the embedded object:
Width = 17,00 cm
Height = 6,41 cm
Press ENTER to change the size of embedded object's visual area
BaseFrame object new size:
Width = 18,07 cm
Height = 6,38 cm

Hello Mathias, On Wednesday 13 May 2009, 14:14, Mathias Bauer wrote: The best documentation is an API that doesn't need one. This deals with the fact that people don't like to read documentation. Having speaking names for events is a good thing per se, not just some language aesthetics. +1 Besides, it's true that people don't like reading documentation (and also that developers in general don't like writing documentation). We often see people asking questions without even reading first the API ref. nor the Dev's Guide (and not even searching on the mailing list if the theme has already been discussed), but this is a general problem I see also on other mailing list (people have become simply more lazy). It would be more useful to spend time on improving the API documentation (IDL and Developer's Guide) and correcting known API issues. Sure. But I think documentation can be done by anybody knowing about the API, developers as well as users. In general, that's not true. For writing serious documentation you need some information about its implementation; but API user only know the specification and how to use the API. For example, the Calc Add-in documentation is from the stone age (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Spreadsheet_Add‑Ins), I have developed several add-in, but I don't feel qualified to update the documentation. And there are sure several examples where you need to know the implementation in order to explain how something works; now I recall css.awt.XToolkit.createWindow/s http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/awt/XToolkit.html#createWindow I only understood what was expected under the css.awt.WindowDescriptor after I studied some sources in the toolkit module. May be Clayton and/or Jürgen have some statistics about contributions in the Dev's Guide since it's been moved to the Wiki; but in general, the most I've seen is adding source tags for syntax highlighting, but no big contributions from community members. IMHO a Dev's Guide documentation writer has also to be a developer (I mean: not only an API client, but with the knowledge to dive in the source code), so an idea for improving this situation may be calling for documentation contributors who would then be mentored by a developer in the know of the implementation.

We still have the published keyword that allows us to improve new APIs over minor releases as well. But published only applies to the whole type. Are the changes going to be allowed so that you can add a new member to an exisitng and already published type? For example, I also thought about the @since tag: autodoc only handles this pertype, but not per member. I think there will be cases, where instead of designing a new XSomething2 you add a new member to an existing XSomething type (well, and I vote for removing all existing XSomething2 around there!). It makes sense that if someone adds a new member, the @since tag is also added, and autodoc respects it; not the case nowadays: cf. http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m47/offapi/com/sun/star/accessibility/AccessibleRelationType.idl#117 vs. http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/accessibility/AccessibleRelationType.html#NODE_CHILD_OF Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@api.openoffice.org
Re: [api-dev] Proposal: first convention to discuss API changes in the future

In my understanding, there was no definitive answer to this question in the thread which discussed it. The general consensus seemed to be towards change anything you like (as long as it's reasonable) in a major release. In my opinion, this /perhaps/ is somewhat too generous for a major release, and /definitely/ too restrictive for all intermediate releases. well, I couldn't find info about the OOo 2.0 release, but just comparing OOo 2.0.1 = Dec. 2005 http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease201 OOo 3.0 = Oct 2008 http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease30 If major releases happen every 3 years, then allowing API changes only on a mayor release does not make much sense to me. Well, I think I'll challenge that rule sooner or later, I have a lot of small changes to start with :). For instance, I'd like to take all those awt/form services which effectively describe *implementations* in OOo, and make all the optional properties added over the years non-optional, to match reality. I have several changes in mind for the awt module (including my enhanced menu API); this module has several non-senses (like a top window not being a window, and the like). I volunteer myself for fixing the ones in my list (once API changes are allowed).
