Re: [udk-dev] PyUNO : Inserting a User field
Etienne in basic its done like: Dim Doc As Object Dim DateTimeField As Object Dim Cursor As Object Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent Cursor = Doc.Text.createTextCursor() DateTimeField = Doc.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.Tcom.sun.star.text.TextField.User)) Doc.Text.insertTextContent(Cursor, DateTimeField, False) hope it helps fernand Dear list, First I hope I am in the right place... Please forgive me and direct me to the appropriate mailing-list/forum/whatever if I'm off-topic... I'm trying to develop an application that would interact with OpenOffice via PyUNO, and I am not able to create a User field. I started from the Java example here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Text/Text_Fields, and tried to convert it in Python... Dim Doc As Object Dim DateTimeField As Object Dim Cursor As Object Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent Cursor = Doc.Text.createTextCursor() DateTimeField = Doc.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.Tcom.sun.star.text.TextField.User)) Doc.Text.insertTextContent(Cursor, DateTimeField, False) #- import uno localContext = uno.getComponentContext() resolver = localContext.ServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver, localContext ) ctx = resolver.resolve( uno:pipe,name=OOo_pipe;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext ) smgr = ctx.ServiceManager desktop = smgr.createInstanceWithContext( com.sun.star.frame.Desktop,ctx) model = desktop.getCurrentComponent() if model.getImplementationName()=='SwXTextDocument': xUserField = model.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.TextField.User) xMasterPropSet = model.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.FieldMaster.User) xMasterPropSet.setPropertyValue(Name, UserEmperor) ctx.ServiceManager #- I get an error __main__.IllegalArgumentException, on the xMasterPropSet.setPropertyValue(Name, UserEmperor) line. If I run dir(xMasterPropSet), I get all the expected method and properties, so it just look like the setPropertyValue is either not the implementation I expected, or that the argument types are wrong? Can anyone give me a hint on how to do that? Thanks a lot!. -Etienne - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@udk.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@udk.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@udk.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@udk.openoffice.org
Re: [udk-dev] pyuno question
Martin , do not kwow pyuno but its similar to basic: Note the landscape page MUST use a different page style then the portrait pages. Each page style contains a* IsLandscape* property. You want to insert a page break and change the page style name on the new page the code must been like Sub test() Dim oServiceManager As Object Dim oDesktop As Object Dim oDocument As Object Dim oText Dim oCursor Dim oNewStyle Dim Args() Dim s Dim oStyle Set oServiceManager = CreateObject(com.sun.star.ServiceManager) Set oDesktop = oServiceManager.createInstance(com.sun.star.frame.Desktop) Set oDocument = oDesktop.loadComponentFromURL(private:factory/swriter, _blank, 0, Args) Set oText = oDocument.GetText Set oCursor = oText.createTextCursor 'Insert the page break oText.insertControlCharacter oCursor, 0, False oCursor.BreakType = 4 oCursor.gotoEnd False 'getting the old style s = oCursor.PageStyleName Set oStyle = oDocument.StyleFamilies.getByName(*PageStyles*).getByName(s) 'creating the new style Set oNewStyle = oDocument.createInstance(com.sun.star.style.PageStyle) 'Setting the lanscape property to true oNewStyle.setPropertyValue IsLandscape, True oNewStyle.setPropertyValue Width, oStyle.Height oNewStyle.setPropertyValue Height, oStyle.Width 'Adding the new style to pagestyle family oDocument.StyleFamilies.getByName(*PageStyles*).insertByName LandscapeStyle, oNewStyle 'setting the PageStyleName to the *landscape* pagestyle oCursor.setPropertyValue PageDescName, LandscapeStyle end sub hope it helps Fernand Hi, I am a newbe in pyuno and like to modify the example http://udk.openoffice.org/python/samples/swritercomp.py in such a way, that the page format is landscape (and not portrait). Can anybody help me with that? I really feel a bit lost with the documentation...

Re: [udk-dev] Sorting reference marks by position in Writer document
Morten Omholt Alver wrote: Hi, I am working on a plugin for interfacing JabRef and OpenOffice. This involves inserting citation markers in a Writer text (representing a bibliography citation), and formatting a reference list based on which citations appear in the text. In order to sort the reference list by order of appearance in the document, I use XTextRangeCompare to sort the reference marks. However, if some reference marks are placed in table cells or footnotes, this doesn't work, since XTextRangeCompare only compares text ranges within the same Text, and this apparently doesn't hold in this case (a reference mark in a normal paragraph is not within the same Text as a reference mark in a table cell or footnote). Is there another way of ordering reference marks by position The vertical position of a oridnary viewcursor can here been used. But tabel positions are a bit more triky, i supose you have to find the postion of a table cursor and then find the position of a cursor just under or on top of a table and then counting rows and rowheights... :-) in the text, or can I somehow access the position of a table / table cell or footnote within the outer Text, so they can be compared?

Re: [udk-dev] Uneditable reference marks or bookmarks
Morten Omholt Alver wrote: Hi, I am working on a plugin for interfacing JabRef and OpenOffice. This involves inserting citation markers in a Writer text (representing a bibliography citation), and formatting a reference list based on which citations appear in the text. This is not done using OO's built-in bibliographic functions, but handled entirely by the plugin. For reference, the current version of the plugin is available here: http://www.itk.ntnu.no/ansatte/Alver_Omholt_Morten/jabref/OOPlugin.html In the current implementation I insert a ReferenceMark for which I set the text to appear in the document (the citation). The name of each ReferenceMark is chosen so it indicates which bibliographic entries (known to JabRef) it represents - therefore the actual text shown in the document does not need to carry that information. There are two problems with my approach: * First, the text in the reference mark is editable, so the user can accidentally add text to the marker instead of outside of it. Maybe GraphicShapes could help, do not now if there is a property to make them readonly, but you can always glua a macro on them who prefends accitental acces to the text inside. * Second, the reference marks are lost when saving to Word format. I'm wondering if there is another mechanism I'm overlooking, which would allow me to insert uneditable markers (gray like reference marks), or if it is possible to make the reference marks uneditable? It would be a bonus if the mechanism also could be conserved when interchanging documents with MS Word. Most of this shapes are pretty good tranfered Hope it helps Sincerely, Morten O.

Re: [udk-dev] Mapping of UNO method pairs StarBasic pseudo Properties
Bernard Marcelly wrote: Hi Paolo, Message de Paolo Mantovani date 2008-01-22 23:55 : That said, I've just noticed that in my ooo 2.3.1 - Italian (Linux) , the following starbasic code gets an error of type mismatch (not sure of the translation): Dim bModified As Boolean bModified = ThisComponent.Modified This code instead runs without errors: bModified = ThisComponent.isModified() I'm quite sure that in previous versions I never observed this problem. can anyone confirm ? I just tested again with OOo 1.1.5. It's the same. A method isSomething() does _not_ produce a pseudo-property Something. Uno language binding documentation for Basic (and for COM) say nothing for isSomething() methods. You may have been fooled (like me) from the fact that pseudo-property Modified does exist in OOoBasic. But it is a write-only property! Because there is a method setModified(boolean) but no getModified(). Other case: there is a method isReadOnly() but there is no method setReadOnly(boolean). As a consequence there is no pseudo-property ReadOnly. In a Calc cell you have a pseudo-property IsMerged which is read-only, because there is a method getIsMerged(). And there is no method setIsMerged(boolean), As i am not a professional coder i see an bit of logic begint this :-) merging can only be done by other methods ? but only the method merge(boolean). A cleaner naming would have been to define isMerged() instead of getIsMerged(). And then there would be no pseudo-property. In a Calc cell annotation you find the pseudo-property IsVisible because there is getIsVisible() and setIsVisible(boolean). setVisible is a action who can bedone with this method ? Here again it is an awkward naming. It should have simply been named getVisible() and setVisible(boolean), producing a pseudo-property Visible. But what's done is done. __ Bernard - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
