Hello Andre, *, From: Andre Fischer [mailto:awf@gmail.com] I was somewhat but not entirely successful in turning your BASIC script into a sidebar panel. Thank you very much. But ... I have created an Eclipse project of the sidebar panel [1]. Run the 'oxt' target of the Ant build file to create the file SidebarBasicPanelDemo.oxt in the dist/ directory. What should I do exactly? I do not know, because I am not familiar with Eclipse. Could not you please create a finished oxt?

I have created an Eclipse project of the sidebar panel [1]. Run the 'oxt' target of the Ant build file to create the file SidebarBasicPanelDemo.oxt in the dist/ directory.

What works is that the dialog is displayed as expected. Callbacks into the BASIC script work also. What does not work is that the BASIC script can not access the dialog for eg retrieval of the search strings. The reason for that is that the dialog is not created from the script in the 'Start_dialog' function but on the Java side of the implementation. I tried to call from Java into BASIC with the dialog object. The call works, but I did not get the public BASIC variable 'ts_dialog' to work. When you click on the 'Suche Nächsten' button then the ts_dialog value is empty again. But maybe this is a good thing, because every document has its own side bar and its own BASIC dialog. Using a single global variable to hold the dialog would not work. As I do not know OpenOffice BASIC well enough to know if and how object orientation works, I did not try to fix this. I also do not know how to change the event callbacks to pass parameters to the BASIC script. Without parameters, your BASIC script does not know from which instance of the dialog it has been called and thus could not retrieve the search string, even if it could access the dialogs. Using the BASIC dialog but do the implementation in Java would be much easier and more reliable. Best regards, Andre [1] http://people.apache.org/~af/SidebarBasicDemo.zip Very interesting! Would it be possible for you use e.g. BeanShell, JavaScript, Pyhton, instead of AOO Basic to fetch the values in the Basic dialog one way or another? If so, could you please create such a sidebar extension too, which could serve as a great template for script coders to take advantage of the new sidebar feature? Python should be no problem because it is a full language binding and you can implement UNO objects in Python. The problem is more with scripting languages where this is not possible. But anyway to support Basic here better probably more work is necessary and I don't see that this will happen soon. Any volunteers who are interested to work on a better support? Without having real detail knowledge I assume that we would need some helper in Basic to support the management of dialogs/sidebar per frame/document and to allow easy access to the underlying window controls... But in general I would concentrate on other more powerful languages like Java or Python instead of Basic.

The extension function is very simple, there is a dialog with two text fields to enter a search string and a replacement text, and two buttons to start searching or replacing. The extension is for writer. So not much function but it is indeed primarily an example of integration in the sidebar This dialogue should now be implemented, he works as a sidebar, so: 2 text fields for entering 4 Label Fields 2 buttons to launch two Basic Macros Greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

If it becomes possible to write AOO Basic macros to excercise the task presented in a sidebar, then it would also mean that one could use any other, AOO-supported macro language (BeanShell, JavaScript, Python, ooRexx, ...), which would be cool!

Re: Sidebar for Developers
Hello Andre, From: Andre Fischer [mailto:awf@gmail.com] Please keep in mind that we are talking about a demo. Its purpose is to teach developers how to develop an extension, not to provide missing functionality. It should not be too complicated. Besides, an import dialog is something that is only used when you begin to edit a document. After that it would just takes up space in the sidebar. But maybe I am misunderstanding what you have in mind. Yes, of course. Do not worry. I don't know. I stopped programming Basic two decades ago. The Basic part is your problem :-) The macro itself will work, my question is whether you can take it directly to the extension with. Example: script:macro-name=vnd.sun.star.script:mottco.Module1.hilfe_aufrufen?language=Basi camp;location=application is a clear indication of where the macro is to be found, so you could also install separately from your sidebar extension, but I hope that you can grab it directly into the SideBar extension. That's what I meant. I mean: The Strukture of your extension is: icons META-INF registry jar description.xml and I hope this can be: myMacro icons META-INF registry jar description.xml and the contents of myMacro is then: Script.xlb Dialog.xlb Module1.xba Dialog1.xdl ... where Module1.xba is the starbasic code.

Re: Sidebar for Developers
From: Andre Fischer [mailto:awf@gmail.com] I tried to download this extension but the link on the Wiki page to the source code download page is broken. After searching and finding it I discovered that you have to register to be allowed to download it. I am not willing to do that. I had this extension not at all addressed if I had not found the public website. But I have saved the extension also here with me, I will send them to you via PM? Therefore I do not know how the service(s) in SimpleConfig are implemented or which language is used to do that. The language is Java.

Re: Sidebar for Developers
But I am interested in a clean approach to support Basic in the sidebar and volunteers can join the dev list and can work with us here in the project. I would be very interested to take part me when you tell me how I can help. Unfortunately not I program in Java or C++. In the concrete, I hope it could be a way to functionality via a 'unserdefined' 'bridge' (in the sense of a UN service, which would be addressed also by StarBasic) to open up. Better would be of course, as you rightly say, a direct access via StarBasic, that needs to be but then implemetiert in AOO directly.

Something comparable to UnoDialogProvider where you can use a dialog xml description as input ... There are probably more things that have to be taken into account. For example layouting etc. Nothing planned or designed yet. Nothing that can be achieved for AOO 4.0.
