Re: [api-dev] EMF converson API
Hi Andreas, in openoffice it is possible to import EMF images. Can anyone please tell me if API functions are available to load a EMF file and convert it to a bitmap format ( BMP, TIF ). This should possibly work on linux too. the following Basic sample should do what you want ... -- rem to be adjusted source = fileurl to your emf file aURL.complete = fileurl for the tiff file emffile = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL(source,0,_blank,dimArray()) xExporter = createUnoService( com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicExportFilter ) xExporter.SetSourceDocument( emffile.currentController.currentPage ) Dim aArgs (1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue Dim aURL as new com.sun.star.util.URL aArgs(0).Name = MediaType aArgs(0).Value = image/tiff aArgs(1).Name = URL aArgs(1).Value = aURL xExporter.filter( aArgs() ) emffile.close(true) -- Hope that helps Cheers Stephan
Re: [api-dev] Using API remotely
Hi Andy,
you are not by any chance the wildlife photographer, are you ?
I am trying to use the API from my portal on one Linux server to access
OpenOffice running on a separate Linux server. I took all the jars from
OpenOffice and made them part my portal but I could only get the API to
work
after I installed OpenOffice.org on the portal server as well. And I see
that when I use the API for the first time on the portal server, OpenOffice
is started up on the portal server.
Do you have to have the complete OpenOffice.org application installed on
the
API client server and why does it start OpenOffice automatically on the
client server?
BTW I am using OpenOffice.org 2.4.
Thanks for any info on this.
if you use something along the lines
xContext = com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap.bootstrap();
and then get the MultiComponentFactory from this context the API will
attempt to connect a local running office and in case it can't find one
start an Office instance.
To connect a running office on another machine you will have to start it on
that machine with command line parameters like
soffice -accept=socket,host=0,port=PORT;urp;
and in your java program on the client you will have to use something like
--
public static void main(String args[]) {
String sConnectionString =
uno:socket,host=HOST,port=PORT;urp;StarOffice.NamingService;
XMultiServiceFactory xMSF = null;
// create connection(s) and get multiservicefactory
System.out.println( getting MultiServiceFactory );
try {
xMSF = connect( sConnectionString );
} catch( Exception Ex ) {
System.out.println( Couldn't get MSF+ Ex );
return;
}
System.out.println(Opening an empty Writer document);
myDoc = openWriter(xMSF);
}
public static XTextDocument openWriter(XMultiServiceFactory oMSF) {
//define variables
XInterface oInterface;
XDesktop oDesktop;
XComponentLoader oCLoader;
XTextDocument oDoc = null;
XComponent aDoc = null;
try {
oInterface = (XInterface) oMSF.createInstance(
com.sun.star.frame.Desktop );
oDesktop = ( XDesktop ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XDesktop.class, oInterface );
oCLoader = ( XComponentLoader ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XComponentLoader.class, oDesktop );
PropertyValue [] szEmptyArgs = new PropertyValue [0];
String doc = private:factory/swriter;
aDoc = oCLoader.loadComponentFromURL(doc, _blank, 0,
szEmptyArgs );
oDoc = (XTextDocument)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, aDoc);
} // end of try
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println( Exception + e);
} // end of catch
return oDoc;
}//end of openWriter
public static XMultiServiceFactory connect( String connectStr )
throws com.sun.star.uno.Exception,
com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException, Exception {
// Get component context
XComponentContext xcomponentcontext =
com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap.createInitialComponentContext(
null );
// initial serviceManager
XMultiComponentFactory xLocalServiceManager =
xcomponentcontext.getServiceManager();
// create a connector, so that it can contact the office
Object xUrlResolver =
xLocalServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(
com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver, xcomponentcontext );
XUnoUrlResolver urlResolver =
(XUnoUrlResolver)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XUnoUrlResolver.class, xUrlResolver );
Object rInitialObject = urlResolver.resolve( connectStr );
XNamingService rName = (XNamingService)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XNamingService.class, rInitialObject );
XMultiServiceFactory xMSF = null;
if( rName != null ) {
System.err.println( got the remote naming service ! );
Object rXsmgr =
rName.getRegisteredObject(StarOffice.ServiceManager );
xMSF = (XMultiServiceFactory)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XMultiServiceFactory.class, rXsmgr );
}
return ( xMSF );

Hi there, yes, I queryed with xshapes and used getbyindex method its working fine...now the problem is on click of the shape iam calling macro which should find which shape is clicked..for this getting the selected shape is not working correctly...so is there any other(interfaces) way to find which shape is clicked? what do you mean with not working correctly ? If only one shape is selected the getSelection() method will be a collection of shapes that consists of only one shape. If you mean by clicking on it that you have a cursor inside the shape afterwards, than the selection is indeed the ShapeText ... is that what you meant by not working ?

whether the getselection works when the shape is clicked during slide show..i.e) when the shape is linked to macro and working fine in normal impress document..when the slideshow is started is that possible to get current documents and shape selected. in presentation view nothing is selected and so the selection changed event will most likely not be fired. I suppose the easiest way to handle this would be to create one method for each shape where the shape's name is handed over to a method that does what has to be done with all shapes. Somethings like sub shape1_click doShapeStuff(Shape1) end sub sub doShapeStuff(ShapeName as String) xShape=ThisComponent.DrawPages(0).getByName(ShapeName) '...

Re: [api-dev] Getting the XComponent out of a XFrame in a UNO Component
Hi Tobias,
after testing, I wrote this little test method:
-%-
public void test() {
XModel xModel = (XModel)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XModel.class,
this.xComponent);
com.sun.star.frame.XController xController =
xModel.getCurrentController();
System.out.println(this.xComponent);

XComponent myComp = (XComponent)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XComponent.class,
xController);
System.out.println(myComp.equals(this.xComponent));
}
-%-
In my Opinion the last line should return true. Am I right? But for
me,
it prints false...
Nope ... the java method equals won't work properly with UNO-Objects
and as far as I remember always return false.
Beside this you seem to compare the XComponent gained from the
document with the one gained from the document view which are
unlikely to be equal anyway.

Re: [api-dev] listener in Calc

Re: [api-dev] XDispatchHelper / XModel in XEnumeration
Hi Joan, Thanks Stephan, that was really helpful! you are very welcome. The problem is that I don't really get (maybe because of my English) what is every class... What's a model, a controller, a component, a frame, etc it is not that easy to understand methinks :-) From http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/OfficeDev/ OfficeDev.xhtml ... The Frame-Controller-Model (FCM) paradigm in OpenOffice.org separates three application areas: document object (model), screen interaction with the model (controller) and controller-window linkage (frame). - The model holds the document data and has methods to change these data without using a controller object. Text, drawings, and spreadsheet cells are accessed directly at the model. - The controller has knowledge about the current view status of the document and manipulates the screen presentation of the document, but not the document data. It observes changes made to the model, and can be duplicated to have multiple controllers for the same model. - The frame contains the controller for a model and knows the windows that are used with it, but does not have window functionality. The purpose of FCM is to have three exchangeable parts that are used with an exchangeable window system. Hope that clarifies things a bit.

Re: [api-dev] how to copy textsection from a writer document to another ?
Hi Oliver, thanks for the code snippet, i can use it as a workaround: - - first copy paste the section - - second copy the properties of the paragraph styles why do you need the first step ? The code snippet copies the content of the textsection already. Copy Paste is a wee bit tricky as it is asynchronly done by dispatch and you so never know when it is really done :-) but what i am really looking for is to store a textsection as url, or serialize it ... The only way I can think of is extend the given snippet, so that all children of the textsection are copied including text tables and text frames. Nicer would be if a text section would implement the com.sun.star.util.XCloneable interface so that you could create a clone and insert this as text content in a new document ... but that it doesn't as far as I know. Somethings I haven't considered yet is to use the ContentExporter and the parse the xml-stream ... not sure if that is any easier than travelling through the structure of the text section and rebuild it that way in a second document which you then save.

It can happen that meanwhile an other OO Document comes in foreground and I change the menus of this foreground window. How can I get the XLayoutManager of the XComponent I am working on with my application? You could query the Interface com.sun.star.frame.XModel from you document.

It can be created at the XMultiServiceFactory you gained after connecting the office or if you are in Basic with the help of the method createUnoService(com.sun.star.frame.GlobalEventBroadcaster ) This broadcaster has the method addEventListener, where you can add a com.sun.star.document.XEventListener The call-back function notifyEvent of this listener has the argument Event, which is an com.sun.star.document.EventObject If it's EventName is OnUnload you can ask the Event for it's Source and call the method getURL() at it.

Re: [api-dev] Listening to TextRange string
Hi Julien, Is there a way to be notified when the content (the string, I mean) of a TextRange is changed ? I feel that the answer is negative, from some mails I've read in this list, but in case there is a miracle... As far as I know there is no way to be notified when a specific XTextRange is changed. TextRange publishes XPropertySet, which enables registration of a property listener, but there is no such thing as a 'string' property (at least, documented). The PropertyChanged event is called for bound properties and the PropertyVeto event is called for constrained properties. The XPropertySet has as far as I know neither of them and so the Listeners will never be called anyway. Thank you if you know a trick on this, If you are just after changes via UI you could add a ModifyListener to your document and in case it is called you could get the ViewCursor and so have the currently changed TextRange.

here you query XStorable, which should work properly, but you don't
use it to actually store the document.
XComponent xComponent = ( XComponent ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(

xComponent.dispose();
Here you dispose the document and with that destroy it ... generally
XCloseable.close() should work smoother :-)
byte[] docFundido = obterDocumentoComposto(docFinal);
InputStream fim = new ByteArrayInputStream(docFundido);
OutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
IOUtils.copy(fim,out);
return out;
mmm ... some lines above you dispose docFinal and now you try to
write something related to it to a java output stream ?
Is the goal to have a Microsoft word document on disk after merging
several document in one ?
I'm a bit lost here.

Re: [api-dev] how to remove final paragraph?
Hi Jimmy, Well you're right, there must be something spooky about my bookmarks, that's why I went looking a little further. You were right this works just fine, BUT (who would have expected that) I do have a section around the paragraph at first which I remove either by currSect.dispose();or xText.removeTextContent(currSect); Both work fine, afterwards I'm left with the same xml as if there has never been any section. So I'm executing the code you proposed AND it doesn't remove the silly bookmark. So can you beat that? :) I'll try my best ;-) Ok now I put my last paragraph into a TextSection and execute xSection = ThisComponent.TextSections(0) xText = ThisComponent.getText() xPCursor = ThisComponent.Text.CreateTextCursor xText.removeTextContent(xSection) while xPCursor.gotoNextParagraph(false) wend msgbox last Paragraph xPCursor.gotoEndOfParagraph(false) xPCursor.gotoStartOfParagraph(true) xPCursor.setString() Afterwards the section and the bookmark are gone.

Re: [api-dev] how to remove final paragraph?
Hi Jimmy, The following problem only occurs, if I'm trying to remove the very last paragraph of my Writer document with my Java Addon. I'm left with the following structure at the end of the document: . text:p text:style-name=ElmlGoals text:bookmark-start text:name=goals/ text:bookmark-end text:name=goals/ /text:p Alright now I can't seem to be able to remove the paragraph including it's bookmark with the following code: xParaCursor.gotoNextParagraph(false); xParaCursor.gotoPreviousParagraph(true); xParaCursor.setString(); The code works fine if there's another paragraph following. This makes even a little sense to me, since I can't go on to the next paragraph if there's no more, but how am I supposed to remove the paragraph with it's content? Do I have to do this with enumeration although it works everywhere else? How can I enumerate a paragraph if all I've got is the XParaCursor xPCursor = ThisComponent.Text.CreateTextCursor while xPCursor.gotoNextParagraph(false) wend msgbox last Paragraph xPCursor.gotoEndOfParagraph(false) xPCursor.gotoStartOfParagraph(true) xPCursor.setString() removes the content of the last paragraph for me.

Re: [api-dev] create bookmark at current location
Hi Max, in java I try to write a add-on that creates a bookmark at the current cursor location in a swriter document. The following code works well for usual texts passages in swriter. When I run the add-ons with the current cursor location in a table (pure openoffice tabel, no shreadsheet) it does not work. How do I handle this case? You'll have to treat the case that you are in a texttable seperately. For this you first need to know if you are in a texttable or not :-) Fortunately the ViewCursor has a property called TextTable and if this isn't empty you know that you are in a texttable. If that is the case methinks there was a property Cell at the Cursor that shouldn't be empty now. Let's say you got that and called it xCell, then something like xCell.getText().insertTextContent(xCell,xTextContent,false); should work.

Re: [api-dev] Modifiable styled mutliline fields
Hi Jan, I need some special kind of field which - can consist of multiple lines of styled text (for example, the second word in the second line is bold) - knows whether the user has modified portions of it - does not regard itself as modified if text is inserted immediately before or after it - has a unique identifier which can be read and set through the api - is displayed in oowriter as styled text (for example, the second word in the second line is bold), perhaps with a grey background like other fields Does anyone can give me a clue how this is possible at all without rewriting half of openoffice? Have you considered using a TextSection for this purpose ... seems to me that it fulfils what you need.

Re: [api-dev] BorderDistance or Spacing to Contents in a Frame
Hi Kent, If you do not have a border in a frame you are not allowed to set what is referred to in the UI as Spacing to Contents. I observe that without a border LeftBorderDistance, RightBorderDistance, etc are ignored. Is there no way to get around this? The only success I have had is with transparent colors, but then you can sometimes see them in pdf outputs. I just want a frame with an internal margin and no borders. I am thinking of submitting a feature request. The code below creates a frame with a border and a large spacing to contents. If you leave out the borders it puts them in. Zero for the line widths doesn't work either. instead of trying to set the distance to a non existing border you could try to set the margins of the text inside the frame. Something like the following seems to do what you want -- oFrame = ThisComponent.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.TextFrame ) oFrame.Width = 16000 aBorder = createUnoStruct(com.sun.star.table.BorderLine ) oFrame.TopBorder = aBorder oFrame.BottomBorder = aBorder oFrame.LeftBorder = aBorder oFrame.RightBorder = aBorder ThisComponent.Text.insertTextContent(ThisComponent.Text.Start, oFrame, false ) oFrame.Text.String = Hello, this text is within the frame.+chr(13) xFrameText = oFrame.Text xFirstParagraph = xFrameText.createEnumeration.nextElement xFirstParagraph.ParaLeftMargin=5000 xFirstParagraph.ParaRightMargin=5000 xFirstParagraph.ParaBottomMargin=5000 xFirstParagraph.ParaTopMargin=5000 -- Hope that helps Regards Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How can I keep them? your cursor spans from the beginning of the bookmark Start to the beginning of the bookmark End ... so I'd expect your code to delete the first bookmark and keep the second untouched. To circumvent this you could move the cursor one to the right after moving it to bookmarks.getByName(START).getAnchor() by adding the line Cursor.goRight(1,false) This way the cursor spans from one character behind the first bookmark to the beginning of the second and so both bookmarks should be preserved. Cursor.gotoRange( ThisComponent.bookmarks.getByName(START).getAnchor(), False) Cursor.insertDocumentFromURL(SomeURL, Array()) REM then the bookmark is moved to the end, and I'm not able to track where I started. Here you place the cursor at the beginning of the bookmark Start and insert your document there ... this way the document is inserted _before_ the bookmark Start ... again the line above should enable you to move the cursor behind the bookmark Start and so solve your problem.

Re: [api-dev] Unanswered question: Is there ANY way to get the Current Values of the Scrollbar of A Doc?
Hi Kent,
Is there any way to get the current values of the
scrollbar for a given document?
there is always a way ;-) ... The question is do you want to step along
it :-)
Ok ... as far as I know the XScrollbar Interface is only implemented by
css.awt.UnoControlScrollBar ... but not anywhere where it would be
helpful to get the Scrollbar of a document.
So the only way I see to gain the information you want is using the
Accessibility API ... a working sample for that would look like follows
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
XComponentContext xContext =
com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap.bootstrap();
// get the servie manager rom the office
XMultiComponentFactory xMCF = xContext.getServiceManager();
// create a new instance of the the desktop
Object oDesktop = xMCF.createInstanceWithContext(
com.sun.star.frame.Desktop, xContext );
// query the desktop object for the XComponentLoader
XComponentLoader xCLoader = ( XComponentLoader )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XComponentLoader.class, oDesktop );
PropertyValue LoadArgs[] = new PropertyValue []{};
XComponent xComp = xCLoader.loadComponentFromURL(
private:factory/swriter, _blank, 0, LoadArgs );
XModel xModel = (XModel)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XModel.class, xComp);
XAccessible xRoot = (XAccessible) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XAccessible.class,
xModel.getCurrentController().getFrame().getContainerWindow());
getAccessibleObjectForRole(xRoot, AccessibleRole.SCROLL_BAR);
XAccessibleValue aValue = (XAccessibleValue)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XAccessibleValue.class, SearchedContext);
System.out.println(Scrollbar Value: +aValue.getCurrentValue());
} catch(Exception e){
System.err.println( Exception + e);
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
System.out.println(... done);
}
public static XAccessibleContext SearchedContext = null;
public static XAccessible SearchedAccessible = null;
public static void getAccessibleObjectForRole(XAccessible xacc,
short role) {
XAccessibleContext ac = xacc.getAccessibleContext();
boolean isShowing = ac.getAccessibleStateSet()
.contains(
com.sun.star.accessibility.AccessibleStateType.SHOWING);
if ((ac.getAccessibleRole() == role) isShowing) {
SearchedContext = ac;
SearchedAccessible = xacc;
} else {
int k = ac.getAccessibleChildCount();
if (ac.getAccessibleChildCount() 100) {
k = 50;
}
for (int i = 0; i k; i++) {
try {
getAccessibleObjectForRole(
ac.getAccessibleChild(i), role);
if (SearchedContext != null) {
return;
}
} catch (com.sun.star.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
System.out.println(Couldn't get Child);
}
}
}
}
For sure not overly elegant and you are in trouble when there are two
Scrollbars ;-)
So the question is, can you circumvent the need for the ScrollbarValue
by gaining something else ... and this depends on what you are trying to
achieve.
Hope that helps

Re: [api-dev] UnknownPropertyException when trying to set HyperLinkURL
Hi Ann, I am trying to set the hyperlink for a particular part of text using the following code and OpenOffice 1.1: XText xText = (XText)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XText.class, xShape); XTextCursor xTextCursor = xText.createTextCursor(); XPropertySet propCursor = (XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, xTextCursor); propCursor.setPropertyValue(HyperLinkURL, http://www.openoffice.org;); When I try to run it, I get an UnknownPropertyException. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, or alternately, have a code example that will do the right thing? As far as I know it isn't possible to set a hyperlink for a text inside a shape.

Re: [api-dev] url for new base document
Hi Andreas,
which url must i use in order to construct a new OpenOffice.org base
document with the java api.
Database Documents differ from other documents ... you need to define a
datasource for them and they have to exist on your hard disk ... the
following code should do what you want ...
--
XComponentContext xContext =
com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap.bootstrap();
XMultiComponentFactory xMCF = xContext.getServiceManager();
// create a new instance of the the desktop
Object oDesktop = xMCF.createInstanceWithContext(
com.sun.star.frame.Desktop, xContext );
// query the desktop object for the XComponentLoader
XComponentLoader xCLoader = ( XComponentLoader )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XComponentLoader.class, oDesktop );
//create a new datasource
Object dataSource = xMCF.createInstanceWithContext(
com.sun.star.sdb.DataSource, xContext);
XPropertySet xSrcProp = (XPropertySet)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, dataSource);
xSrcProp.setPropertyValue(URL, sdbc:embedded:hsqldb);
XDocumentDataSource xDDS = (XDocumentDataSource)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XDocumentDataSource.class, dataSource);
XStorable store = (XStorable) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XStorable.class,xDDS.getDatabaseDocument());
String aFile = file:///wherever you want it/testdb.odb;
//store it
store.storeAsURL(aFile, new PropertyValue[] { });
//load it again
xCLoader.loadComponentFromURL(

Re: [api-dev] Page Style with Right and Left Pages
Hi Kent,
Does anyone have an example of this in Java?
I cannot seem to be able to create a document where
one side uses a left sided style and the next page
uses the right sided style.
It ends up using for the whole document the last style
loaded with CursorProps.setPropertyValue(
PageDescName, style ).
Then if I create a page break the editor generates
Blank Pages which can only be seen in print preview
and say blank page over them.
the problem here might be the FollowStyle ... beu default this is
default for FirstPage, Left Page for Left Page and Right Page
for Right Page
Something like
try {
XStyleFamiliesSupplier xSFS = (XStyleFamiliesSupplier)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XStyleFamiliesSupplier.class, xModel);
XNameAccess xFamilies = xSFS.getStyleFamilies();
XNameContainer xFamily = (XNameContainer)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XNameContainer.class,
xFamilies.getByName(PageStyles));
XStyle firstPageStyle = (XStyle)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XStyle.class, xFamily.getByName(First Page));
XPropertySet xFirstStyleProps = (XPropertySet)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, firstPageStyle);
xFirstStyleProps.setPropertyValue(FollowStyle, Right Page);
XStyle leftPageStyle = (XStyle)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XStyle.class, xFamily.getByName(Left Page));
XPropertySet xLeftStyleProps = (XPropertySet)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class,
leftPageStyle);
xLeftStyleProps.setPropertyValue(FollowStyle, Right Page);
XStyle rightPageStyle = (XStyle)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XStyle.class, xFamily.getByName(Right Page));
XPropertySet xRightStyleProps = (XPropertySet)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, rightPageStyle);
xRightStyleProps.setPropertyValue(FollowStyle, Left Page);
} catch (Exception e) {
}
should do that.
If you then set the property PageDescName of the Cursor gained by
XTextDocument.getText().createTextCursor()
to First Page you should have what you wanted.
Hope that helps

Re: [api-dev] How to apply a paragraph style to a XTextTableCursor?
Hi Peter, (made my first UNO-steps with StarOffice 5.2..., no comment please ;) ) I liked that office version ... eventhough not many seemed to be convinced of the Do Everything in one place ... but that is a totally different topic now ;-) Only wondered, why all the other paragraph and char properties work. Imo it makes no sense to allow e.g. the property NumberingStyleName (which is optional too) and the ParaStyleName not. oTableCursor.CharColor = 128 and oTableCursor.NumberingStyleName = List 1 work fine for example. Might be worth a request for enhancement. If it would be implemented at the TableCursor then you could change the ParaStyleName for all Cells at once instead of traversing through the table cells :-) Regards Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] getData() and getDataArray() do not work on text tables.
Hi Andrew, Should getData() and getDataArray() work on a text table? I tested this on windows and linux using 2.01 release candidates. Create a text document and add a single text table. Add some data to the text table. Use at least two rows and two columns. Now, run this macro Dim oTable oTable = Thiscomponent.getTextTables().getbyIndex(0) Dim oData() : oData() = oTable.getDataArray() Dim a() : a() = oData(1) Print a(1) MsgBox Join(a(), CHR$(10)) Print oTable.getCellByPosition(1, 1).getString() The returned data is ALWAYS 0. Now, change getDataArray() to getData(). The returned values are still zero. What am I missing? did you ensure that the cells are formatted as numbers ?

Re: [api-dev] How to apply a paragraph style to a XTextTableCursor?
Hi Peter, in a former StarOffice version the following worked properly: oTableCursor = oTable.createCursorByCellName(oTable.CellNames(0)) oTableCursor.ParaStyleName = MyStyle Contrary to a normal XTextCursor this does not work in 2.0 anymore. According to the api the service css.text.TextTableCursor includes the service css.style.ParagraphProperties with the missing property ParaStyleName. I wonder that this worked ... the property ParaStyleName is optional and only makes sense for the text inside a cell, not for the cursor that enables you to move through the table ... but well ... changing your macro by oTableCursor = oTable.getCellbyName(oTable.CellNames(0)).createTextCursor should ensure that the paragraph style of the first cell is changed.

Re: [api-dev] getData() and getDataArray() do not work on text tables.
Hi Andrew, Interesting Formatting the out AS a number allows non-zero numbers to be returned; I had not tried that before. Thanks for that information. So getData() and getDataArray() both ONLY return numbers! I thought that getData() should return numbers. I thought that getDataArray() should return numbers AND strings. I thought that the documentation stated this anyway. It does work this way in Calc. In my quick test, It generated an error if I tried to use setDataArray() with a string. Am I not correct in the difference between getData() and getDataArray(). now that you say it I took a look at the idl-documentation and getDataArray() should indeed also return the strings.

Re: [api-dev] 2.0 and changing JAVA-Settings
Hi Peter, asking on dev-dba, Frank redirected me to this list. I want to automate the Java-Settings during and after the installation.

Alternatively a API-solution (Basic) would be appreciated (if no restarting is required). May be, the installation- or the dev-list are the better addresses for this kind of question, but I want to avoid X-postings, so lets start here. in case of jdbc-drivers you could try to pack your jdbc-driver in a zip file and then add it calling unopkg add yourzipfile ... unopkg might complain that the zip doesn't contain a uno-package, but as far as I know will copy the jar-file and adjust the classpath, so that the driver should work.

The following macro should count the lines of a selected text, but by replacing the first line with your text range it should work for you too :-) textRange = thiscomponent.currentcontroller.Selection.getByIndex(0) textCursor = thisComponent.getText.createTextCursorByRange(textRange) viewCursor = thisComponent.currentcontroller.ViewCursor() viewCursor.gotoRange(textRange,false) viewCursor.collapseToStart() counter = 0 while thiscomponent.getText.compareRegionEnds(textCursor,viewCursor)0 viewCursor.goDown(1,false) counter = counter +1 wend msgbox lines in selected paragraph +counter Hope that helps Regards Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] Number of line of a paragraph
Hi Laurent, The trick with a view cursor will work I didn't try this as i was searching for Non-view methods No View no lines I'd say :-) The XTextRange doesn't know in how many lines it will be displayed and so can't tell you how many lines it contains. Nevertheless, i'll save the current selection before and restore it at the end. But his will flicker for the user ... using thiscomponent.lockControllers at the beginning of the macro and thiscomponent.unlockControllers at the end should avoid the flicker.

Re: [api-dev] OOo Basic Specification
Hi Curtis, Is there a complete specification for the OOo Basic language? For OOo Basic you can just press F1 when you are in the Basic-IDE. For the OOo-API take a look at http://api.openoffice.org/ where you will find the idl-reference: http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/module-ix.html and the Developers Guide: http://api.openoffice.org/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.html Hope that helps Regards Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
