Re: [dev] Error: no office executable found!
Hi Jürgen, 2006/2/7, Jürgen Schmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The secure way is that you start your OOo server manually and connect to it via TCP/IP and the specified socket. It is recommended to use this way if you want to develop something serious. sorry but that is wrong, the simple bootstrap mechanism is serious even if it has some problems on systems where special scripts are used around the normal binaries or default scripts. we could debate here about what is serious and what not, however I didn't talk about the SimpleBootstrap mechanism being not serious, I said it would be better to set things up manually when you're developing something 'serious' (== more secure, more control etc.). Besides the problems there could be on some systems, it also has limitations. For example you cannot hook up to a remote-machine OOo. Thus if you're dealing with servers and you write code on a client machine, you can only go by TCP/IP to connect to the Office (named pipes work only on the same machine). -- Best Regards Christian Junker - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [dev] why making compiling OO such a secret?
Hi Johannes, On Wednesday 08 February 2006 12:19, Johannes Walther wrote: Epm creates the rpm-archives, that's the regular way to obtain installation sets. Ok, but the point I don't get (and you seem to miss seeing) is *why* do I need an installation set. That's ok if I just want compile and use OOo, but do all you developers constantly tweak the source, compile *and then* build installation sets, install OOo and see if your tweak worked? No, of course ;-) linkoo was invented for this, see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Hacking#Linkoo_.26_Limitations for a rough description. It resides in solenv/bin . Basically - you install your build somehow (be it from an installation set, or using ooinstall), and run linkoo over your build tree the installation set. Then when you compile your change, you'll see it immediately after the OOo restart. And talking of ooinstall, OOo can be installed even without making the installation set - but it's quite a hacky way. ooo-build has 'ooinstall' for that - see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/ooo-build/bin/ooinstall?view=markup Unfortunately - it hasn't been up-streamed yet. Doesn't OOo run from the compilation target directory? Not sure what do you mean? Regards, Jan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] No TypeDetection.xml in Ooo 2.0?

Hi,

Right
The old path was:
org\openoffice\Office\TypeDetection.xml
Not entirely correct.
The very old path (OOo 1.0.x) was:
registry/instance/org/openoffice/Office/TypeDetection.xml
This used a file format that isn't understood by later versions of OOo.
You are right. This format isnt supported any longer. Sorry.
The recent old path (OOo 1.1.x) was
registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/TypeDetection.xcu
But these format is supported by newer versions too.
But it contains the non comfortable content ... means comma seperated
strings.
The new one is:
org\openoffice\TypeDetection\Types.xcu
org\openoffice\TypeDetection\Filters.xcu
org\openoffice\TypeDetection\xcu
... which is also under registry/data/ and still uses the file format
introduced in OOo 1.1. This file format is here to stay.
It uses the file format of xcu files valid for OOo 1.1.x ... but not the
content format (!) of OOo 2.0.
Example:
List of properties of Types in OOo 1.1.x:
{UIName, Data}
List of properties of Types in OOo 2.x:
{UIName, MediaType, Extensions, URLPattern, ... etcpp}
Do I need to edit TypeDetection.xml for Import Filters too?
You must bring only one set of configuration:
old TypeDetection.xml OR Types/Filters.xcu.
The old file will be supported read only on startup.
Careful! You need TypeDetection.xcu (!) OR the new
Types.xcu/Filters.xcu. In either case they must use xcu format.
The very old TypeDetection.xml will NOT work.
Correct.

RE: [dev] Filter development query.
Hey Andreas, I am still quite confused about the TypeDetection.xcu (I use Ooo2.0 so is that SO7 or SO8??) I am also unsure about the significance/values of the entries in the TypeDetection.xcu. I also need a hand in converting the hex codes (esp. for import/export) to decimal, so that I can add the same into TypeDetection.xcu. As I already described inside another answer inside the same board ... there is currently no documentation regarding the new format. Sorry. But a list of hex codes assigned to flag names exists inside the old documentation too. Please have a look into the DevGuide chapter 6.2.4. On the other side ... a dispatch interceptor must not deal with a types/filter configuration at all ... - So do I need a TypeDetection.xml for a dispatch interceptor or nor? [quote] The idea behind addons is the following one: - implement any uno component you want (that can be e.g. a filter, a dispatch interceptor, a dialog or anything else) - combine it with the right set of configuration files (if your component require a configuration at all) - pack it into a zip file (describing it's entries inside a Manifest file) An addon requires some additional configuration files only (packed into the same zip file). Those configuration entries makes it possible for you to find a place inside our menu/toolbars. But the same zip file (independend from the fact that it contains a filter without the need for an extra menu/toolbar entry or it contains any other uno component, which wish to be placed into our menu/toolbars) can be installed using the Tools-PackageManager.

Re: [dev] List/map of toobar icon files?
Brett the James wrote: Hi, I was wondering if there was any sort of master list (or even several sublists) that would help me understand what each .png file in images.zip? I've been looking around, but I cannot find anything of the like. In fact, it seems as if there are a tremendous amount of icons that don't belong anywhere (and those that just appear, on my computer, as a big, green X.) I have noticed a couple of things; It seems like a lot of the modern (new in 2.0) icons are in the images/res directory. In many cases, there seems to be a sc_ / sch_ pattern for the smaller icons and lc_ / lch_ pattern for the larger ones. Correct. The h denotes high contrast images, s is for small and l for large. The c is a remnant of former times where we had colored and monochrome images. So if there isn't a list, is there a formula that's being followed? Many images are for the toolbars or menus (commandimagelist). They indeed follow a schema. Their file names contain the name of the command as it is used for dispatching. For most of the names it shouldn't be hard to guess which function it is assigned to.

Re: [dev] Programmatic XTextFrame Control with Java
Thanks for the help and comments.
I seem to have got it working, it needs more testing.
Surly there seems to be a bug here:
xShapeProps.setPropertyValue( VertOrientPosition,
new Integer( 2 ) );
xShapeProps.setPropertyValue( HoriOrientPosition,
new Integer( 12000 ) );
These properties are defined to take longs. VertOrient
can take a long, but gives odd results and the other
one takes a long but then throws a
IllegalArgumentException.
Below is the method, I will post this somewhere on a
snippets page, after I wait to see if I get any
comments, or at least after I test it a bit more.
manipulateText() is taken directly out of the
handbook.

mxDoc = this.bean.getTextDocument();
// get its text
mxDocText = ( XText ) mxDoc.getText();

mxDocCursor = mxDocText.createTextCursor();
// Access the text document's multi service factory
mxDocFactory = ( XMultiServiceFactory )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XMultiServiceFactory.class,
mxDoc );
// Use the document's factory to create a new text
frame and immediately access
// it's XTextFrame interface
