Re: [libreoffice-users] Predefinied constants (Macro, Basic)
Been there, done that. I noticed just as I was hitting send, or I would have redirected back to the list so that others could see the conversation.

Notice that there is a typeArray. I have note tested this, but, I could likely use the following two types com.sun.star.uno.TypeClass.CONSTANT, _ com.sun.star.uno.TypeClass.CONSTANTS And enumerate the constant types and print them. If I were industrious, I would dump them into a Calc document. I can think of lots of things that I could do. I have a method in the UNO module called EnumerateEnumeratsions, which, given a name, will print the names and associated values. On 2018-07-23 11:14, Johnny Rosenberg wrote: Thanks.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Predefinied constants (Macro, Basic)
Howdy, To the best of my knowledge those are it. You would need to recreate those once and then include them in later projects. It's a common thing for folks to do, make their own include library with such. In fact you might want to look at the Access2Base library in the libreoffice distribution, I believe the author may have defined a number of constants (the whole library recreated VBA functions for use in LibreOffice), it may be that what you are looking for is already there you would simply need to load it at runtime. Not to mention you might find some others things there, coming from a VBA background, useful.
