Christian was telling about the feature found when inserting a video from the menu Insert - Object - Video... But this isn't something you can achieve as an OOo extension developer (OOo is just a client of the mozilla plug-ins) well you can write a plugin and possible deploy it with your extension and you could communicate between an OOo Add On and your plugin using something else than UNO API (f.e. a pipe). So yes developing a plugin may be a valid option to add interactivity to a running slideshow as it gives you a system window that is placed on the slideshow window under your control. Not a nice solution but the only one I see right now, depending on what you like to achieve. For example to change content between slide changes could be implemented today by simply restarting the slideshow using the API.

Re: [api-dev] show only PDF options dialog without Export dialog
Hi Ariel, Cor,
Ariel you are right. The problem is that the implementation from
PDFDialog does not provide a proper XTypeProvider interface. I will
personally punish the person who is to blame for this as soon as he
is back in the office.
While not accessible from basic, this still can be used from c++
or java. I think the best 'workaround' is to add a little java
service to the component that implements the needed interfaces
and acts as a proxy to the c++ implementation while having the
correct XTypeProvider interface.
I you need help with this you can contact me.
Regards,
Christian

no, this won't work. At least that's my conclusion by testing this on
OOo Basic, and reading a few filter/source/pdf/*.
Both your suggestion of using the implementation name
oDlg = createUnoService(com.sun.star.comp.PDF.PDFDialog)
or using the service name available at the global service manager
oDlg = createUnoService(com.sun.star.document.PDFDialog)
instantiates an object implementing only this interfaces
com.sun.star.beans.XFastPropertySet
com.sun.star.beans.XMultiPropertySet
com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet
com.sun.star.lang.XInitialization
com.sun.star.lang.XServiceInfo
com.sun.star.lang.XTypeProvider
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.XExecutableDialog
com.sun.star.uno.XInterface
com.sun.star.uno.XWeak
If I understood clearly the sources, the work-flow is the one described
by you, but I can't see a way to make this work if
css.document.XExporter is not accessible for clients, as in the
implementation (filter/source/pdf/pdfdialog.cxx)
PDFDialog::createDialog() checks if mxSrcDoc.is(), and mxSrcDoc is
initialized in PDFDialog::setSourceDocument().
So if the client can't invoke XExporter::setSourceDocument(), an
ImpPDFTabDialog will never be instantiated:
Dialog*PDFDialog::createDialog( Window* pParent )
{
Dialog* pRet = NULL;
if( mpResMgr mxSrcDoc.is() )
{
ImpPDFTabDialog* pDlg = new ImpPDFTabDialog( pParent, *mpResMgr,
maFilterData, mxSrcDoc, m_xORB );
pRet = pDlg;
}
return pRet;
}
this will always return NULL.
Why aren't XPropertyAccess and XExporter implemented by
com.sun.star.comp.PDF.PDFDialog? I didn't try to hack OOo yet, so I only
know how C++ components are design as extensions using *only* OOo API:
com::sun::star::ui::dialogs::XExecutableDialog
com::sun::star::lang::XServiceInfo
com::sun::star::lang::XInitialization
are implemented because PDFDialog inherits from OGenericUnoDialog.
If I write a UNO C++ component I would use one of the templates classes
::cppu::WeakImplHelper[N] to implement XPropertyAccess and XExporter,
don't know how you do it in the source code... but reading Frank's
dbaccess/source/ui/uno/copytablewizard.cxx you seem to use
::cppu::ImplInheritanceHelper[N]. So is the PDFDialog bad implemented?
should it be implemented this way so that XPropertyAccess and XExporter
are really implemented by the component (not only by the C++ class):
typedef ::svt::OGenericUnoDialogPDFDialog_DialogBase;
typedef ::cppu::ImplInheritanceHelper2
PDFDialog_DialogBase,
XPropertyAccess,
XExporterPDFDialog_Base;
class PDFDialog
: public PDFDialog_Base,
public ::comphelper::OPropertyArrayUsageHelper PDFDialog
{
//...
}
From OOoBasic I can start PDF export without the options dialog.
I also can start the PDF options dialog automatically followed by
the Export dialog.
However, I would like to add path/name info to the Export dialog,

Hi, if you insert a slide and the user interface displays it as Slide # than that slide actually has no name. The Slide # is generated dynamically by the user interface of the application.

Re: [api-dev] Idea for a feature: adding a PageStyle / PageStyleName for Presentation and Draw documents
Hi Tobias, impress uses a different concept as each slide has a master page assigned which for one is a complete page with shapes that is rendered on the background of that slide but also contains a unique set of presentation styles for shapes used in layouts. So I don't think we need page styles for impress as master pages have far more features than just simple styles and fit the slide oriented document model of impress better.

Re: [api-dev] Catching Mouse Clicks
Hi Bradley, I'm afraid the slideshow API is due to time and resource constrains not yet available to be used from the outside. You may be able to get the XWindow from the top frame after a fullscreen slideshow was started. Then you could register there as a mouselistener from com.sun.star.awt But it is not guaranntied that we advance a slide on each mouse click. It could also mean we trigger an interaction or advance a shape animation.
