I believe that the view cursor has a text table property that you can
check to see if the cursor is in a text table. This is how I do it in Basic
Dim oVC : oVC = ThisComponent.getCurrentController().getViewCursor()
If Not IsNull(oVC.TextTable) Then
Print In TextTable oVC.TextTable.Name
End If
here my code to delete all table in textRange but it delete all table

XTextTable table=null;

[dev] Re: Delete table in cursor position
You should reply to the list, not to me directly.
I did look at this, and there are problems with any solution that I
tried. For example, first, I tried walking the text table anchor, but I
repeatedly crashed LO when I tried that. I also found that performing a
few sneaky things (such as looking at the anchor's text object and then
creating a cursor at that text object failed when I had a cell that
contained ONLY a text table (because creating a cursor in that cell did
not leave any place for that cursor to be except for in the containing
text table).
Next, I tried another sneaky thing such as simply disposing the text
table and then checking to see if the view cursor was still in a text
table. it looks like that approach may work, but I did not pursue it
past a few very basic tests.
sub MainTable
Dim oTable
Dim oVC
Dim sName$
ovc = ThisComponent.getCurrentController().getViewCursor()
Do While NOT IsNull (ovc.TextTable) AND NOT IsEmpty(ovc.TextTable)
oTable = ovc.TextTable
sName = oTable.Name
oTable.dispose()
'Print removed sName
Loop
End Sub

Re: [dev] BASIC Variants, VarType(), and arrays
On 04/09/2010 08:49 PM, TJ Frazier wrote: Can I get a little help from someone who knows the code, to confirm my experimental observations? Then I can get the documentation updated, and fix the BASIC code. The VarType function can be used on a variant to return the type of data therein, as documented. However, when the variant contains an array, VarType apparently returns the value x'2000' (decimal 8192) plus the simple type of the array variables, which is not documented. What I'm seeing: If a variant is set with the Array function, VarType returns a 200C (8204) code, indicating type variant, which is more or less useless. If the variant is set to an existing array: Dim ai(2) as Integer : ai(0) = 1 : v = ai() then the VarType returns 2002 (8194), where 2 is the type code for integer. Similarly, explicit string arrays return 2008 (8200). Values like these occur in property sets. This affects the OLH and wiki documentation, and BASIC code on the wiki and in the released macro libraries. I'll update the wiki, and file issues for the rest, once I'm sure what to say.

Re: [dev] Simplify Reference Casts by template constructors
Rainman Lee wrote: Hi Andrew I know that implicit conversions usually bring more side effects than convenience. But it is not the reason that we should give all them up I think ;) There is no implicit conversion from std::string to const char*, because if a string is destroyed, the pointer to its content will be invalid. Fortunately, we don't have to consider during reference conversions. The only thing I am not very sure is whether there are some ambiguities that may be introduced by this implicit reference conversion. Would be grateful to know all problems about it ;) Thank you! Not able to enumerate all possible problems, because there have been so many specific problems. For example, what happens when you define a conversion from a pointer to a boolean? Comparing two pointers might convert to a boolean, which are then compared. (see http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1592.pdf) I have seen methods that require a type as an argument. An argument of the wrong type is then automatically converted to match the argument.

Hi Rainman,
I have another ideal, it is better and safer than the last one I mentioned.

template class base_interface_type

const SAL_THROW( () )
{ return Reference base_interface_type ( get() ); }
I tested some cases, and it works well.
How do you think it? I am not very sure it will work for all situation.
Uhm - implicit conversion operators are Evil (TM) :)
This is a place where my gut feeling says we should sacrifice the little
convenience we could gain (xA = xB instead of xA = xB.get()) for
clarity. At least clarity in reading code, but also clarity in reading
the error messages which the compiler would raise for incompatible xA
and xB :)
Admittedly, this feeling is not backed up by strong arguments, but I am
sure others could come up with some. Stephan
You must be very careful before introducing an implicit conversion. By
careful, I mean, you should understand the consequences.
Although conversion operators are nice for your intended purpose, they
compromise type safety and disable the compiler's type-safety checks.
For this reason, library designers usually do not include conversion
operators, even though is it inconvenient for the user; for example,
there is not a conversion operator from (const char *) to std::string
(and that feels like an obvious one to include if you ignore the side
effects).
This is a reason that it is recommended that you use the explicit
keyword before constructors that accept only one argument (because it is
used as an implicit conversion operator).
Do you need or desire examples of where this can go awry?

Re: [dev] How get the caller cell
Let me repeat back my understanding of your problem. You have a function. The value that the function will return changes over time based on some external cause. You want the function to track every cell that calls the function and then update the value in the cell that called the function. Well, you can not simply write a new value into the cell, because that will overwrite the formula that caused your function to be called. instead, you need to cause the cell to call the function again.

that do that.) I can test it on my own system when I get XP up and running

quite
difficult to upgrade my software every time OOo upgrades. In other
words, using a later version is not a desirable solution, since it takes
me a day or two whenever I have to use the new OOo installer and make
sure everything works on both Linux and Windows.
When she runs my program on her computer, it generates a number of .odt
or .sxw files. Once generated these files could sit for a while or could
be used immediately for printing. In this case, it turns out that when
we generate .sxw files, they're printing just fine, but any .odt files
are not
printing -- they show up as blank sheets of paper. (In call cases the
files are only 1 page long so I have no way of checking the length of the
documents when they print.) As if that weren't odd enough, if she runs
OOo and uses the GUI and loads them on her own and then prints them, they
print fine!
In other words, when I load files through the Java API, if they're .sxw
they print, if they're .odt, a blank page prints instead, but loading any
of the files through the GUI allows them to print fine.
This version of my program has worked on other XP systems previously.
I'd test it myself, but my XP system is temporarily down and likely won't
be up until I can transfer data from the other partitions and put in a
new hard drive.
I've included my Java code to open and print the OOo files below.
I'm hoping someone will recognize this as something simple that I'm
overlooking or that there's an issue or bug that I just haven't been able

Re: [dev] current cursor position in XTable
If only one cell is selected, then you can simply obtain the CurrentSelection property from the document. Things are more complicated if you must worry about multiple things being selected... it looks like you can also grab the selection property from the current controller. If you want only the cell that contains the cursor, and you want to ignore the rest, you can tell the controller to select an empty range that was created by the document. The following subroutine does the following: 1.Save the current selection. This is useful if more than a single cell is active. 2.Select an empty range so that only the cell with the cursor is selected. The cell is selected with an outline around the cell, but it is not completely blacked out.

What happens if you do not load the document as hidden?

I have a client who is using OOo 2.0 on Winodws XP as part of a Java program
I've written. I'd like to upgrade, but since my software has to install my
program and OOo -- and know where OOo is being installed to, it's quite
difficult to upgrade my software every time OOo upgrades. In other words,
using a later version is not a desirable solution, since it takes me a day
or two whenever I have to use the new OOo installer and make sure
everything works on both Linux and Windows.
When she runs my program on her computer, it generates a number of .odt
or .sxw files. Once generated these files could sit for a while or could
be used immediately for printing. In this case, it turns out that when we
generate .sxw files, they're printing just fine, but any .odt files are not
printing -- they show up as blank sheets of paper. (In call cases the
files are only 1 page long so I have no way of checking the length of the
documents when they print.) As if that weren't odd enough, if she runs OOo
and uses the GUI and loads them on her own and then prints them, they print
fine!
In other words, when I load files through the Java API, if they're .sxw they
print, if they're .odt, a blank page prints instead, but loading any of the
files through the GUI allows them to print fine.
This version of my program has worked on other XP systems previously. I'd
test it myself, but my XP system is temporarily down and likely won't be up
until I can transfer data from the other partitions and put in a new hard
drive.
I've included my Java code to open and print the OOo files below.
I'm hoping someone will recognize this as something simple that I'm
overlooking or that there's an issue or bug that I just haven't been able
to find. Whatever it is, any help is appreciated!

Can anybody guide me for how to do this? This is a very big question. Download my free macro document and then start reading from section 7.16 Traverse paragraphs (text cursor behavior). My expectation is that this is not of much use to you, but, if you skim a few sub-sections, you will eventually come to 7.16.3 What does it mean to enumerate text content? This section gets you started on enumerating paragraphs. Consider the following macro: Sub EnumerateContent REM Author: Andrew Pitonyak Dim oParEnum 'Enumerator used to enumerate the paragraphs Dim oPar 'The enumerated paragraph Dim oSectionEnum 'Enumerator used to enumerate the text sections Dim oSection 'The enumerated text section Dim s As String 'Contains the enumeration Dim i As Integer 'Count the paragraphs REM Enumerate the paragraphs. REM Tables are enumerated along with paragraphs oParEnum = ThisComponent.getText().createEnumeration() Do While oParEnum.hasMoreElements() oPar = oParEnum.nextElement() REM This avoids the tables. Add an else statement if you want to REM process the tables. If oPar.supportsService(com.sun.star.text.Paragraph) Then i = i + 1 : s = REM Now, enumerate the text sections and look for graphics that REM are anchored to a character, or as a character. oSectionEnum = oPar.createEnumeration() Do While oSectionEnum.hasMoreElements() oSection = oSectionEnum.nextElement() If oSection.TextPortionType = Text Then REM This is a simply text object! s = s oSection.TextPortionType : s = s oSection.getString() CHR$(10) Else s = s oSection.TextPortionType : CHR$(10) End If Loop MsgBox s, 0, Paragraph i End If Loop End Sub This enumerates sections based on common formatting. The problem, however, is that you can not do something simple like oSection.setString(I am replacement text) and have it use the same properties. What happens, is that properties are messed up. I created a simple test, and then set every text section to some simple text like XyzzyX, and I watched the effects ripple through. It was horrifying.. Perhaps you can do something similar to the following: Dim oStart : oStart = oSection.getStart() Dim oEnd : oEnd = oSection.getEnd() Dim oText : oText = oStart.getText() Dim oCurs oText.insertString ( oEnd, XyzzyX, False) Now, remove text from oStart to oEnd.

OK, so I did deal with it. I now encode my strings in HEX as: 41424344 In my DLL, which acts as a wrapper, I convert it back to the desired string and call the destination DLL.

Re: [dev] Suggestion
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1761 Do I understand correctly that this will be fixed in 2.3? Brooks Golden wrote: I am a big fan of OpenOffice and I think it is a great cause and all but there's just one thing that really annoys me. When I'm making a text document, I like to view what I am typing at 100% zoom like every other text editor I have ever used. Although, when you zoom to 100% in OpenOffice (as opposed to the page width which is 109%), the page aligns the left side of the the screen instead of the center anymore. Granted, it is just a minor peeve of mine, but I really wish there was a way to align the page in the center of the screen. Microsoft Word centers the page at any magnification you zoom to and that would be fine with me as well, just as long as there is some way to center the page. Perhaps you have never really thought about a small difference like that but maybe you could incorporate a way to change that in a future update, that would be excellent of you.

[dev] Re: Query: consultancy for building OOo
Ian, I have never done this in either windows or Linux. I know one person who has done this in a VMWare environment with Linux. I copied the dev mailing list in case someone there knows of someone who might have the required abilities and/or knowledge. I can make some more queries when I return, which will hopefully be by Sunday. ian mcritchie wrote: Hi Andrew, Thanks for your previous help. Given your extensive experience with OOo, I was hoping you might be able to point us in the direction of an individual or company who may be willing to act as a paid OOo developer/consultant. We have a emerging requirement to build OOo from src on the Windows platform for the next generation of our product. However, as I'm sure you are aware, the build process (particularly for Windows) is not straightforward. The main task for an external consultant is to provide a Windows build environment for OOo. We would also need support in integrating OOo components into our product. We would then be able to contribute to the OOo overall open source project by bug fixing OOo core components etc. (The alternative is that we spend time in house attempting to build OOo from the source - which is our second option.)

To illustrate the problem: In http://schubbe.org/test/OOo/vlookup-test.sxc (created with OOo 1.1.4) you can see an unsorted table (A6:D16) - you have to open it with OOo 1.1 of course.

Both results differ (and are wrong) from the results in the 1.1.4 spreadsheet. The same formular used in different program versions should either result in the same outcome. Or the newer program version must convert the formular (in an older spreadsheet opened with the newer program version) so that the formular shows the same result as the spreadsheet in the original (old) version does.

I documented the behavior here: http://www.pitonyak.org/database/Calc_As_A_Simple_Database.odt Search for VLOOKUP. I state the following: The final column, sort_order, is optional. The default value for sort_order is 1, which specifies that the first column is sorted in ascending order; a value of 0 specifies that the data is not sorted. If the data is sorted in ascending order, a more efficient search routine is used. A non-sorted search requires an exact match, but a sorted search always returns a value if the searched text lies between the first and last values. Table 8 contains examples using the VLOOKUP function. The beahavior changed, I think, in version 2.0. I had a discussion with the developers about this. The bottom line is that if the data is NOT sorted, then the returned value is arbitrary and potentially wrong. I think that they changed the sorting algorithm in 2.0 to be more efficient but less tolerant of out of order data. I would elaborate, but it is late and I musts get to bed! This works fine in 1.1.4. Opening the same document with 2.0 (Debian unstable 2.0.0-1) leads to weird results. I added a 0 as 4th parameter to VLOOKUP for testing and got the correct results. In 2.0 the default behaviour of VLOOKUP (with 3 parameters) to asume an (un)sorted table seems to have changed. Can someone confirm this? If the default behaviour has changed, the function in 2.0 which converts v1.1 documents into v2.0 documents for initial opening must add a 0 as 4th parameter to every VLOOKUP function only containing 3 parameters. Shall I report a bug?

Re: [dev] Strange Bug in StarBasic? Function returning null instead of empty
Matthias Benkmann wrote: I have a problem with a recursive function in one of my macros. The function is supposed to either return an array of strings or Empty (in case there's not enough input data). However, under some circumstances the function mysteriously returns Object/Null instead of Variant/Empty. I'd like to know if this is a bug in OOo (I tested 1.9.122 and 1.9.125) or some misunderstanding on my part. The following is a chopped down version of my code: Sub Main Dim n(1) as String n(0) = n(1) = Dim a as Variant f(Array(60,10,1,12,20,10,25,30), n(), 0, 76) End Sub Function f(splitInfo() as Variant, daten() as String, i as Long, j as Long) as Variant If i UBound(daten) Then Exit Function End If Dim ret() as String for k = 0 to UBound(splitInfo) restLen = Len(daten(i)) - j Dim splitPos as Long splitPos = splitInfo(k) If splitPos = restLen Then j = j + splitPos Else st = Right(daten(i), restLen) i = i + 1 j = 0 sta = f(Array(splitPos - restLen), daten, i, j) If IsNull(sta) Then MsgBox(This is impossible!) Exit Function End if End If next k f = ret() End Function As you can see there are only 2 ways out of the function f(). The first one is an Exit Function that is called without an assignment to the function's return value. On this code path the function is supposed to return Variant/Empty. The 2nd way out of the function is after the assignment f = ret() which sets the return value to an array of string. There should be no way for the function to return Variant/Null, so the condition IsNull(sta) should never be true. But strangely it is at some point. If I call the function directly from Main with the exact same parameters as the recursive call that returns Null, I get Empty as it should be. So it seems that Null is returned only in the recursive case. Can someone give me a clue what's going on? Is this a bug? Should I file a bug report? Matthias I don't suppose that you can provide an example that causes the problem... I tried to use the supplied example and there are issues.

Interesting questions so I copied them back to the Dev list I am adding answers in-line. Uwe Brauer wrote: Hello The OO database is unfortunately no as comfortable as the scalc. Do you know about a macro which could do protect rows in a scalc document against partial sorting. Original table This 1 Book 2 Cesar 3 Now I mark the first column and order it alphabetically I obtain Book 1 Cesar 2 This 3 But what I want is this: although I only marked the first column I obtain Book 2 Cesar 3 This 1 Now you point out that in order to achieve this, I should hightlight all the relevant columns. Thats right. But I want to have some protecting. That is also I only mark one column and sort the column all the others get sorted as well. My guess is that you need to use a listener that intercepts the sort command. You would then need to verify that the selected range included the first and last used column. This is, however, just a guess. 2. Do you know about a macro for generating numbered backups, no just a single one. Do you mean that you call a macro to create the backups, or do you want to hook into the existing backup functionality? The functionality sounds familiar, but I can not remember. If you simply wanted to write a macro to do this, it would not be that difficult I would think. Hmm, then again, it might be complicated by the fact that on Winodws, the file is always locked while it is open (at least it is for me). 3. A macro which would split the screen in the same way F4 does it for the database window. Is it the datasource that you want to see? I am only aware of using a dispatch for this. If you want to know the current state, you probably need to register a listener and see the return codes, but this is just a guess. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.sxw My Macro Book: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm Free Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Initially, OpenOffice did not support regular expressions until an open solution was created. The most likely reason that an off the shelf solution is used has to do with time. There was not time for Sun to develop and release the required components, so they laid the infrastructure and then purchased a product to fill in the gaps.

Re: [dev] How to traverse paras on a page?
Download my free macro document (see link below), or get my book. If you
have my free macro document, check out the section discussing how to
traverse paragraphs (Andrew learns to ...). Also, read the section on
the selected text framework, which demonstrates how to know when to end.
It would probably suffice to traverse while moving the display cursor
with you until you leave the page. The thing is that ONLY the display
cursor can act as a page cursor if I remember correctly (I discuss this
in my book, but probably not the free macro document).

OUString( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM(
xPrCursor is not found )) );
return false;
}
int paraCount = 0;
while (xPrCursor2-gotoNextParagraph(false) )
// xPrCursor-getText() != xPrCursor2-getText())
{
paraCount ++;
}
printf (%d\n, paraCount );
This code has a flaw -- It gives all paras starting from the current page
till last page of document.
While I want all paras of current page. Could somebody please help with
this? It doesnt appear to be as easy as I thought it to be.

Re: [dev] execute macros in OO2.0 documents

[dev] How to pass a NULL as an array argument
Note: I am using OOo 2.0 Beta on Windows and Linux. Some interfaces accept an array as the argument. In two of these interfaces, for example XDatabaseMetaData.getTables(), it is specified that the argument should be NULL in some cases. http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/sdbc/XDatabaseMetaData.html#getTables Well, under windows, I simply use Dim oNull As Object oMeta.getTables(oNull, %, %, oNull) And things work as expected... On Linux, however, there is an error when the target argument is an array. The error is Can not coerce argument type during coreflection. Should I use a different method to pass a NULL, or did I find a bug that exists only on Linux. I am assuming, a bug, but if this is really a problem on my end, then I should remove the case that I opened... http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=44541 -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.sxw My Macro Book: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm Free Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] Definitely interested
Hello Stephen, I have added comments inline... Stephen Gassner wrote: I am a California family law attorney. Before that I was a systems engineering consultant, snipped impressive computer background and a little bit more... I would like to help you. But I do not have the immediate resources around me, to help you in a very significant manner. The assistants that I do have, are either paralegals or secretaries. They are not programmers, mathematicians, or engineers, such as I assembled at DEC. Excellent! For right now, I would like access to an individual with detailed knowledge to help me develop a competent Legal Pleading template. Technically it's trivial, but marketingwise, it's critical. I found a couple such templates and downloaded them. Neither really solves the problem quite correctly. There might be underlying source code problems that made it difficult for the developers to implement. With adquate access to detailed knowledge of the underlying software platform, that problem should be solvable very readily. I would anticipate that OpenOffice would serve the Legal Community very well. We have been frustrated with Correl and Microsoft for years. They have been nonresponsive to our needs. Contribute, and we will contribute back. In general, I consider a template to be a collection of styles with a base document to use. Understanding how to use styles is in general critical. The user list is a great place to ask about templates. the ooauthors web site has a lot of information concerning this: http://www.oooauthors.org/ I think that the user's guide may be at: http://documentation.openoffice.org/ I am just not certain which repository is the best for a new template. but hopefully at least some of my information is useful... The authors site is collaborative, but it is primarily concerned with documentation, not extras, as is found at the OOo extras site. From there (Legal Pleading Template) I will propose integrating into varios PIMs, particularly incuding Abacus Law, and PIMs linked thereto through a product they call the Companion Link. Now, this is starting to become interesting. Are you looking to integrate this with your template, or do you see these as different things? it looks like you want to exchange data between OpenOffice.org and a PIM. I am not aware of a current project dealing with this at the moment. If there is, you can search the projects from the OpenOffice.org projects page. http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectList A good solution is needed for printing from a wireless device. I assume that your proposed solution involves moving data to OOo and then printing from there For what it's worth, you can see my website at http://www.gassner-law.com/. It wouldn't show much software engineering, since my family markets Family Law Legal Services there.

Re: [dev] OpenOffice password lost
M Vandenhoeke wrote: I have written a OpenOffice writer document and I have lost the password. Since the Save with password encrypt the document, it is impossible to decrypt it like the Microsoft Word document. The only way is to apply the force brut which mean that you try every possible password to open the document. Since the number of password is really big, the only way is to do it with a computer. Can someone help me to recover the password by indicating to me the method I have to follow ? I suppose that someone will be chocked about this problem, but I place me in the spirit of the Free/Libre Software, which mean that I hope that my problem will serve all the community. Unfortunately for you at this moment, the encryption used by OpenOffice.org is very good. Your only alternative is to attempt to guess the password. You could probably write a macro to do this. If this is YOUR document, then perhaps you have an idea of the length or type of password, so you can more easily narrow your search.
