Hi :) Brilliant! Nicely found! I didn't realise you had already read both of them and i don't normally like rtfm-type answers so we both got lucky there.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Programatically changing the properties of a multselection (group)
Hi :) A good guide to macros is listed at the bottom of the "Programmers" section of 3rd party documentation http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Programmers A direct link to Andrew Pitonyak's page is here http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php There might be other guides to help you learn Macro language better while you are waiting for responses from this list.

I will work on getting the form out somewhere accessable. In the mean time, the
code I am trying to use looks like this:
Sub updateControlValue(Event As Object)
Dim Form As Object
Dim Controller As Object
Dim Model As Object
Dim Control As Object
Form=Event.Source.Model.Parent
Model=Form.getByName("testGroup")
Controller=Form.Parent.Parent.CurrentController
Control=Controller.getControl(Model)
Control.Enable=FALSE
End Sub
This works well on an individual form control, but when trying to apply it to a
Group of controls it fails to change the Multiselection Property. My gut tells
me that there is a different Method or Service that I need to use to access the
Group Properties, but I haven't had any luck identifying what it is.
Thanks,
Russ Mileham

[libreoffice-users] Programatically changing the properties of a multselection (group)
I am building a Base form where I would like to group several controls and enable/disable them based on the actions of the user. When I group the controls, the Enabled property can be set in the Properties: Multiselection dialog through the GUI, but I can't seem to figure out how to access the group properties in a macro. I have tried accessing a Model of the Group using getByName(GroupName), followed by accessing the view using getControl(Model). However, it appears that what I get is a Model and View of the first control element contained in the group. Can someone point me in the right direction?
