Hi Jochen,
normally if you have the oo-jars (all from oo-home/program/classes) in
your classpath (manifest or CLASSPATH or with the -cp switch) the
libraries are found. There is a helüper-class, which load the
native-libraries in the parent-directory of officebean.jar (if the
library is not in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or %PATH% on Windows).
If you want to deploy your application together with the oo-jars (in a
relative subdirectory) the native-libraries cannot be found.
If I understand you correct and you want to deploy your application
(some mails above on this list) on different systems and OS. You have to
find a way to set the correct-classpath and native-ölibrary-path on the
target system.
You can use start-scripts (run.bat run.sh) which create a classpath and
launch your application with java -cüüp mypath my.package.Main.
But the users have to set the OO-path by hand before. In this case you
cannot use a selfstarting jar.
You can use a classloader to load your application. There you can use
a selfstarting jar (double-click on Windows). There are some
launcher-projects available like:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/launcher/
You can develop your own Launcher and add the oo-jars from
the target-system to your application.
Example:
create a subdirectory 'lib' of your application and add there all your
application-jars.
In the parent-directory place the launcher-class or self-starting jar
like(untested):
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Launcher{
public Launcher(){
}
public static void main(String[] args){
Launcher l = new Launcher();
l.launchApplication(args);
}
public launchApplication(String[] args){
ArrayList urls = new ArrayList();
//add your application jars
addJars(urls,lib);
//get now the path of the OO-installation
//from a property-file, dialog or scan the filesystem
String oopath = get...();
//add all to the classpath
addJars(urls,oopath);
//create URL[] from the urls-List
URL[] classpath ...
URLClassLoader loader = new URLClassLoader(classpath);
//now load your application Main-class and start this
try{
Class clazz = loader.loadClass(my.Main);
//get the main-method
Class[] params = new Class[1];
params[0] = args.getClass();
Method m = clazz.getDeclaredMethod(main,params);
//prepare the args
Object[] methodparams = new Object[1];
//the args from the commandline
methodparams[0] = args;
//lauch the application
m.invoke(null,methodparams);
}catch(Exception e){
//handle this
}
}
private void addJars(List list,String dir){
File f = new File(dir);
if(f.isDirectory()){
File[] jars = f.listFiles();
for(int i=0;ijars.length;i++){
if(jars[i].getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(.jar)){
try{
list.add(jars[i].toURI().toURL();
}catch(Excpetion e){
//handle this
}
}
}
}
}
}
This will launch your application with custom-classloader, which puts
the oo-jars to his classpath.
On the windows-platform you will get problems if the oo-home/program
directory is not int the %PATH%. You can preload the native-libs, but
you need the right order of the libs and this can simple changed by
newer OO-releases.
I hope this can help.

Simon

Hi Simon, I mean the order can changed by newer releases. The officebean.dll depends on MSVCR70, UWINAPI, sal3, jpipe (this is the order to load it). But this can be changed with OO2.0 or 1.1.x. I have not looked at OO2.0 and I don't know if the new OfficeBean will handle this self, Yes, OOoBean (the new Java Bean baseclasss for OOo) does load these libraries.

[api-dev] AGAIN: auto grammar checking
Following Michael Hoenig's advice (unanswered questions), here I am again. AIM: check the current API's support for prototyping a grammar-checker API externally, i.e. without messing with OOo's source. MY QUESTIONS TO API DEVELOPERS REGARDING THE CURRENT API'S CURRENT FEATURES (not necessary now to answer HOW, just if the following are possible and an idea of difficulty level) 1 - Can specific context menus be assigned to specific portions of text? 2 - Can a specific portion of text be assigned a user-defined property, e.g. its language? My (not new) idea is let the user specify which language(s) they intend for each portion of text. 3 - Can error underlining (like the curly red one for auto spell-checking) be assigned to specific portions of text in a way that it would neither (i) conflict with end users' formatting nor (ii) be printed out eventually? 4 - Is it possible to implement a service, component or whatever might be plugged-in through the API such that: it _concurrently_ looks for visible text, breaks visible paragraphs into sentences, checks them for grammar and _asynchronously_ request the API to perform (1), (2) and (3) above?

Re: [api-dev] Embedding OOo into a VB application
Hi,
1) ActiveX
By using OOo ActiveX component (so_activex.dll) it seems possible to
embed OOo. The problem is that very few methods and properties are
exposed and there is a lack of documentation about API on how interact
with the component.
There is no type library and the IDispatch::GetTypeInfo is not supported
as well. That is, you need dynamically invoke methods.
For C++ this means calle GetIDsOfNames before every Invoke.
2) Office automation via COM
We manage to create a Service Manager component representing OOo server
which is possible to send commands for document manipulation. The
problem is that every document is associated with its external window
(not embedded).
If it was possible to capture the window creation and to embed it into
the form this will solve the problem
The com.sun.star.ServiceManager is an Exe - COM - component and there
is no in-process handler DLL available.
4) CLI-UNO Bridge
We tried to use CLI-UNO bridge. There are 4 DLLs to reference into .NET
project. Unfortunately the documentation it's not clear about what it's
possible to do with the exposed namespaces and it's not clear if it is
possible to create a Window object to be embed into a form.
Even if it's seems very promising some substantial improvements are
previewed for the 2.0 and this way could bring to write code not
reusable with the new version.
The CLI-UNO Bridge for StarOffice 7 / OOo 1.1.x
is only a technology preview and is unsupported. I suggest to use OOo
1.9.x to test out the bridge. Then the assemblies are automatically
installed (if you have a .NET framework 1.1 installed), the office will
be automatically started and there are probably some other improvements.
Unfortunately the Developer's Guide which contains updated information
will take another couple of weeks until it is available on
api.openoffice.org.
This probably does not solve your problems but maybe give you some hints.

Hi all,
a friend on mine is trying to embed OOo 1.1.3 into a documentation
management system developed in Visual Basic.
I state in advance I am not an expert and I'm investigating what is the
best way to exploit.
It's problem is to open an OOo instance into a VB form in order to
access documents in different format, to visualize document pages, to
zoom into the content, to print and so on.
That is, he would like to access OOo services in Visual Basic as it is
possible in C++.
He tried different ways that are ActiveX, COM, JavaBean as ActiveX
control and CLI-UNO bridge. Each way has presented some problems.
1) ActiveX
By using OOo ActiveX component (so_activex.dll) it seems possible to
embed OOo. The problem is that very few methods and properties are
exposed and there is a lack of documentation about API on how interact
with the component.
2) Office automation via COM
We manage to create a Service Manager component representing OOo server
which is possible to send commands for document manipulation. The
problem is that every document is associated with its external window
(not embedded).
If it was possible to capture the window creation and to embed it into
the form this will solve the problem
3) Javabean as ActiveX control
We managed to create a JavaBean containing an ActiveX and to register it
as DLL (BasicOfficeBean.dll) which is possible, at design type, to
integrate into a form.
When the program is executed, the ActiveX control is created correctly,
but during OOo connection initialization phase, officebean.dll is not
found.
BasicOfficeBean.setOfficeConnection(new LocalOfficeConnection());
public synchronized void setOfficeConnection(OfficeConnection aConn)
throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
{
...
// mConnection = NewLocalOfficeConnection();
mConnection = a Conn ;
mConnection.addEventListener(new ConnectionListener());
}
The bean initialitazion procedure tries to create a connection to the
local server using the code in officebean.jar. This calls the function
LocalOfficeConnection() and in its turn try to load officebean.dll into
its contructor
public LocalOfficeConnection()
{
try
{
setUnoUrl( uno:pipe,name= + getPipeName() +
;urp;StarOffice.Servicemanager);
}
catch ( java.net.MalformedURLException e )
{}
// load libofficebean.so/officebean.dll
String aSharedLibName = getProgramPath() +
java.io.File.separator + System.mapLibraryName(OFFI_LIB_NAME);
System.load( a SharedLibName ) ;
// System.load(C:\\ooo1.1.3\\program\\officebean.dll);
Effectively installation directory of OOo is not found so it's not
possible to load the DLL. It seems that getProgramPath returns a void
string.
4) CLI-UNO Bridge

[api-dev] Looking for demo MSVC++ projects controlling OpenOffice in order to programmatically create MSWord-compatible documents
Hi all, this is my first post on this list (I actually have been redirected to this list after having posted to a more general one). I would like to use OpenOffice to create .doc documents programmatically by invoking UNO API from a C++ application. My dev environment is Win2K, MSVC6.0 and QT. Although Im developing on Win I would like to keep my code portable, thats why Im using QT for the GUI and why I would like to use OpenOffice to create my documents programmatically (rather than controlling MS Word via OLE automation, as I have already done in the past). I have to admit I thought it could have been an easier task. However I have spent a couple of days compiling UNO IDL and finally succeeded in coding a test C++ application, compiling and linking it with MSVC 6.0. My problem is that I get a crash the very first invocation of a UNO API class method. I checked and the code seems to be ok, maybe I need to set some compiler option? Does anyone here have some experience in crating documents programmatically within a MSVC application ? Are there some ready-made MSVC demo projects ready to be compiled and run ? Thanks in advance.

Re: [api-dev] starting the OOo-help without API
Hi Arne, I have found several UNO dispatches that probably can invoke displaying the OpenOffice Help, possibly also specific help components (writer, calc ...). How these dispatches are launched is explained in the Developer's Guide. In short: You simply use the DispatchHelper service and invoke the executeDispatch() method which takes some arguments. The dispatch commands are listed in the slots.sxc, that you can download from the Documents Files section of the api project page; just search through all sheets for the keyword help and you should find good results. The description given for those dispatch commands is generally pretty low so testing them is very important. I wish you good luck, I didn't test any of the several help dispatches I found but if I have some time again I will take a look, except until then your problem has been solved.

Of so, then you probably want to copy to the clipboard and then paste. No. Or, do you want to insert a lot of text that will contain special formatting? Yes, tht's what I'd like to achieve. If you want to insert text with special formatting, you probably want to first insert the text as a string and then apply the formatting. You are correct that this is not ideal You may want to consider using a paragraph style. This will make it much easier to apply formatting to sections of the text without setting individual properties. This is no good way of doing it, because I have several preformatted text pieces and I do not know, what formatting is involved. If there's no other option I have to decompose any text snippet into it's atoms and formattings before saving and reapply them afterwards. This is why I'm asking about streaming in another thread. In principle it is like using aututexts from another source. I really think there is something missing from the API ...

Re: [api-dev] draw_html_export
Hi Jaime, instead of using macros, you even might integrate your mappings of OOo XML to HTML into the exisiting XHTML export filter. This filter is used for every application type and might get greatly enhanced for Draw documents. To receive the latest version, install http://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/developer/680_m79/ and add during installation the XSLT Sample Filter. The XHTML filter is still based on the old OpenOffice.org XML, and can therefore easily be used in earlier StarOffice/OpenOffice versions by using the start stylesheet from INST/share/xslt/export/xhtml/ooo2xhtml.xsl If XSLT is completly new for you, any mapping you provide might be used as input for XSLT developer to enhance this filter. Have you a link to a sample document you want to transform? Regards, Svante Jaime Alvarez wrote: I want to export to html some OOoDraw flowcharts with several slides and links. Unfortunately, it appears to me that the draw_html_export filter transforms the slides into plain images. I want to develop this functionality by using image maps in html for adding the links where they belong. I guess a macro would work, which would lead me to unearth my programming neurons from college... ;-) After looking into the 'content.xml' file of a OOoDraw document, it seems to me that all the information I need about the links is available. Therefore, my ideal macro would do the following: 1. Use the draw_html_export filter to create the html files. 2. Get the links' location and url without having to save, unzip it and open the respective content.xml file. 3. Modify the files created in #1 and add the links and some navigation features. I'm looking forward to work on this. However, I'd like to know beforehand whether it is feasible or not (specially for #2). Any suggestions?

Or better: is there a way to uninstall the addon with executing pkgchk with some parameters?

[api-dev] problem with jar file
Hi, At first I am sorry, because I think my problem does not belong very good to this mailing list. For the last 20 weeks I was creating an java add-on for OOo. Now three days are left and my installer does not what it should. Therefore I hope, someone can help me: I have created a self-executing jar file with some class files, which contains the GUI and the execution of pkgchk. It also contains the zip file, which I want to deploy with pkgchk. But when I try to copy the zip to some directory I get filenotfoundexception. Is there an other way to extract a file from within the self-executing jar (without using a jar command) to any directory...? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is this a bug or do I've forgotten something?

[api-dev] small problem with starbasic in OOo 1.1.x
Hi there, I have a small problem with Starbasic in OOo that I wonder if there is any sollution to, or perheps a workaround for, I'm not sure this is a bug at all... anyway, I have a small starbasic script that will save the document locally and after that do some small updates to the document after it has been saved the problem I have is then the following 1: the document is beeing saved by the script, this takes a while for big documents 2: the user tries to close the document whil it is beeing saved (nothing will happen at this stage since the document is under saving) 3: the document has now been saved and the document is beeing closed (since the user pressed the close button) 4: my scripts tries to modify the document but encounters errors since the document is no longer opened. well that is in short what happens Is there some way that I can (in script or config) tell OOo to not close the document before the script has finished /Christian Andersson - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [api-dev] Format for information file about templates and addons
Hi Ian, Alle 06:42, venerdì 25 febbraio 2005, Ian Laurenson ha scritto: I am trying to write a routine to make it easier for people to find and install templates and add-ons. The wizard that I am trying to implement follows these steps: 1. At the click of a button user downloads a file with information about all the available templates and add-ons in the system. 2. In a series of subsequent steps user specifies criteria to help them find the desired template or add-on. 3. The final button installs the templates and add-ons that the user selected. I have written step 2. But keep dithering about the best way of implementing step 1. Namely what format this information file should take. Thus this email hoping that someone will kick me to get me going again. My current preferred idea is to have a zipped file which contains the equivalent of meta.xml files for each template / add-on. Where the user defined info. fields are defined as Version; Languages; and Requirements currently leaving the fourth field for future development. What do people think of this approach? And, if it is a good idea any pointers for quick ways of reading such a file using the OpenOffice.org API? Some ideas: 1) share the code! may you host your library somewhere in the web? 2) Think the UI before! the UI of your applet shall be nice, functional and confortable, do not accept compromises here. If you're thinking to a wizard, keep in mind the new wizard concept used in OOo2 (with a side bar). Start the code only when you'll be 100% satisfied from the appearance and usability of your wizard! Remember: if the your app has a perfect coding but an ugly UI, nobody will use it. 3) regarding the format of the descriptor file, Tom Schindl said to think to a custom xml format. Of course, I agree with him and I would add that, with xml api's you will be able to parse the file very easily. You may want to look the sources of SnippetCreator for some ideas about this. I don't think you really need to package your descriptor into a zip file but, in case, you will need some code to extract the file before to parse it. Laurent Godard published several examples about how to zip/unzip packages using OOo API's.

Re: [api-dev] small problem with starbasic in OOo 1.1.x
Hi Peter, should have tested this (again it shows that you should always test something before you give advice). I thought again about your problem and if your script does not run all the time but only sometimes I would propose the following to you: Either you create a dialog, or which is little bit more complicated a modular window (with the windowdescriptor service), that pops up when the macro begins its execution. In that time the user is caught in this one dialog (I would put an explanatory text like Please wait until the progress finishes... and if you want to make it professional you add some progressbar or some animation or whatever so that the user is occupied at least with something). The important thing is that the dialog itself has been disabled which means that it is not closed when the user presses the X button that you can see for every window on popular platforms. You do that by setting the enabled property in the dialog properties to the value off. Of course the macro shouldn't take too long, because a normal user probably would get angry when he clicks on the window to close it but it doesn't :). I know this is not a very user-friendly thing, but look around in other programs: They also sometimes show dialogs like Please wait... when they need to process a lot of data.

Re: [api-dev] small problem with starbasic in OOo 1.1.x
Hi Peter, please read on! What can be done is to assign the macro to the receiving focus event, this event gets fired when the macro is started, so it is fired right at the beginning. Build the dialog in the Basic IDE, do define the property enabled as Yes. Thus code structure should look like this: 1.) load dialog library, createunodialog, execute dialog (thread starts) - dialog pops up and receiving focus event is fired, the assigned function is called 2.) dlg.setEnable(False) - user cannot close the dialog 2.) do everything you wanted to do now with the document (=implementation) 3.) at the end call dlg.setEnable(True) and then dlg.endexecute() - the dialog vanishes, the user can now work on with the document, control flow of the Starbasic code goes back to the .execute() statement and continues from there on (in the standard case the next line would just be End Sub or End Function). Note, that dlg should be a global variable as it is propably used in not just one function.

Thank you Christian And Peter, I will look into this now that you have shown me a sollution, and actually I do have an dialog already opened (what my system does is that it saves the document locally first, then takes the file on the disc and transfer it to a remote location using soap with attachments, when that transfer is done I need to modify that document and store some values I got in return from the soap call. this last part sometimes returned an error due to the fact that the user closed the document, but by doing this disabling of the dialog I probably can solve those errors. :-) /Christian Andersson Christian Junker wrote: Hi Peter, please read on!

Re: [api-dev] oo macros and concurrency
Hi, it is a known fact that OOo has several multithreading problems. Most of them reveal when using OOo API via remote UNO. Every single multithreading problem can be considered a bug, but fixing all of them is a rather complex task (due to the size and complexity of OOo code). However, we're working on it... but even OOo 2.0 will still suffer from multithreading issues. For now, I strongly suggest not to use OOo in a multithreaded way. Several workarounds for OOo's multithreading problems have been discussed in the OOo mailing lists already. You should follow one of these approaches. - Kai.

UNO packages are described with a XML based package descriptor file I think it would be a great start point and we should concentrate on this package manager and should define how we can improve and extend it with missing features (what ever make sense).

Re: [api-dev] Macros for all users
Hi Didier, i would suggest to use an UNO package for deploying a new library into your office installation. Unopkg (oo.o2.0, pkgchk for older versions) offers all the necessary features to delpoy such a library safely into the shared section of an office installation so that it can be used by all users.

My interpretation of that request is that the installer needs to: * work from within OpenOffice.org * help people to find the addons that they require * install selected add-ons at a click of a button My first attempt at a user interface to try and meet this need is a wizard which is available from: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=43532 The first step of that wizard is to download a file that contains information about all available add-ons and templates in the system. It is the format of this file that the thread has been about.

The second step allows the user to see and select updates for add-ons and templates that they already have installed. For add-ons I think that this could be done by checking the names of installed UNO packages against the names of packages in the downloaded information file. I confess that I haven't checked the feasibility of this yet. Also on this step it is possible to upload rating / review information to the central site. Steps 3 - 6 are to help the user find their desired add-on or template. Step 7 is to display dependency information (add-on 50 is dependent on add-on 12 so add-on 12 should be included). On clicking install, all the selected add-ons and templates get downloaded and installed. The add-ons would all be standard UNO packages. I have no preconceived preferences for the uploading of the files to the central site. Whether it be from within OpenOffice.org or through a web interface. I think that some members of the OpenOffice.org community should have the responsibility for checking uploaded files for malicious content. The wizard has a check box for eliminating from the displayed list those add-ons or templates that haven't been checked.

[api-dev] [EMAIL PROTECTED] REQUEST: unanswered questions
Dear OpenOffice.org community, We really would like to see all questions answered, but we need your help to keep track of your questions and their answer status. Thus, if you still have a question unanswered for more than two days, feel free to place a reminder on the list. But maybe you should think about simplifying your question, strip down your code example etc. I'd like to remind that this mailinglist is not a support forum. We core developers like to see all questions answered, but we cannot do your work. Thus, even though some background information can be helpful, phrase your question as easy as possible to us and focus on the OOo API rather then your application.

Re: [api-dev] Menu control
Christian Junker wrote: I remember some time ago, that it had been discussed that OOo 2.0 will provide functional interfaces that haven't been functional yet in any way (XMenu, XMenuListener) and probably add some more interfaces that make menus accessible via API. We don't use XMenu etc., those interfaces remain deprecated. The new API is much more abstract. I'm afraid the documentation is still not ready. Maybe we can provide some example code on the framework project Website. Now that the first beta candidate has been released, I would like to know if that is possible yet. I tried putting information together and working it out for 1.9.m79 but I did not succeed. I think that there is a lot of request in this area, since it would improve customization of OOo's GUI a lot and make it possible for developers around the world to create their own OOo looks (of course there are tight boundaries, but as of yet it is not even possible to disable certain menu entries in the main menu as far as I know) without having to hack portions of the huge source code and repackaging their own oo distributions. For complete customization of menu it is still recommended to use XML files. The new API for menus is a dynamic way to change the menu at runtime, f.e. to extend it for components added to the installation.

Re: [api-dev] Code snippets ....
Absolutely Jürgen, as you know there are others that don't have much time, as well :(. I also have the strong feeling of wanting to have one place where useful macros, that are asked a whole lot on oooforum.org periodically, are listed. Right now it seems like pieces can be found here and there, lying scattered around, which is confusing to many people, because they usually don't know all those sites. This feeling gets stronger and stronger because I try to help people on oooforum but very often it's the same questions that are asked and I feel like a coffee machine producing the same coffee every single day. quote The upcoming MS Office Developer Studio will come with a bunch of code snippets for often used API's. /quote Is there someone here that will get this Studio or already has it? I think we could all gain from the competitor what kind of snippets they have. Finally, I think UNO and OO API are very powerful buildings and one of the main strengths of the OpenOffice suite giving users an immense possibility of programmatic control - let's omit menu control right now - and in my opinion the OO API is far ahead of the MS Office API. Thus it's even more important to show the real strengths of OO to the people out there that think of switching to OpenOffice or that will be impressed by how much automation can be put into OpenOffice.

[api-dev] preventing users from accessing copy/cut/paste
hi there I have a small problem that I would like to get some help with... I have been asked to see if there is some way to prevent users from using the copy/cut/paste functionallity in openoffice (in the menu and the shortcut.) the reason for this is that the users are students in a class and they are going to have some exams soon, during these exams they are to write a report in OOo, and they will have access to the net so that they can use it for research. To stop them from just copy paste text from the internet the teachers want me to find a way to stop copy/cut/paste functionallity in OOo so that they have to type everything, and by having to type everything the chance for cheating will be less... if it is possible they also would like me to turn on the record changes and to prevent the users from turning it off. anyway, I've tried searching the openoffice.org site but keep getting internal errors from it.. I read some time ago that it was possible to configure OOo using some sort of slot files but since I cannot search the openoffice website I turn to you...

I also read this: check the StarOffice 7 Office Suite Administration Guide chapter: Restricting Star Office Functionality just for completeness: The StarOffice 7 Office Suite Administration Guide can be dowloaded here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1820 Michael - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] Number of line of a paragraph
Hi Laurent, using macros (but any language welcomed) I retreive a paragraph containing text. Is there a way to know how many lines it represents displayed in the document ? (so, depending on the formats, font, font size aso) I know i can count characters with num = Len(myParagraph.string) but need know that this number is displayed on N lines I suppose you have an XTextRange as base for your calculation. The following macro should count the lines of a selected text, but by replacing the first line with your text range it should work for you too :-) textRange = thiscomponent.currentcontroller.Selection.getByIndex(0) textCursor = thisComponent.getText.createTextCursorByRange(textRange) viewCursor = thisComponent.currentcontroller.ViewCursor() viewCursor.gotoRange(textRange,false) viewCursor.collapseToStart() counter = 0 while thiscomponent.getText.compareRegionEnds(textCursor,viewCursor)0 viewCursor.goDown(1,false) counter = counter +1 wend msgbox lines in selected paragraph +counter Hope that helps Regards Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] Number of line of a paragraph
Hi Laurent, The trick with a view cursor will work I didn't try this as i was searching for Non-view methods No View no lines I'd say :-) The XTextRange doesn't know in how many lines it will be displayed and so can't tell you how many lines it contains. Nevertheless, i'll save the current selection before and restore it at the end. But his will flicker for the user ... using thiscomponent.lockControllers at the beginning of the macro and thiscomponent.unlockControllers at the end should avoid the flicker.

Re: [api-dev] Number of line of a paragraph
Hi No View no lines I'd say :-) The XTextRange doesn't know in how many lines it will be displayed and so can't tell you how many lines it contains. humm, not so sure it is an intermediate information between the XTextRange and the effective displayed text Nevertheless, i'll save the current selection before and restore it at the end. But his will flicker for the user ... using thiscomponent.lockControllers yes, i just realized after sending the mail that i could use that :) Thanks Stefan Laurent -- Laurent Godard [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Ingénierie OpenOffice.org Indesko http://www.indesko.com Nuxeo CPS http://www.nuxeo.com - http://www.cps-project.org Livre Programmation OpenOffice.org, Eyrolles 2004 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[api-dev] OOoBean project
Dear OOo SDK/API and especially Office bean users, The new and first official OOoBean was integrated into a OOo 2 prerelease some months ago. Now I have closed the project website: http://api.openoffice.org/Projects/OOoBean/index.html The source code can be found in the api/bean project, the spec in the specs project: http://specs.openoffice.org/ for which I introduced a new page for UNO/API/SDK related specs: http://specs.openoffice.org/sdk/index.html Putting the Bean into the application wide area would cause trouble at latest when we introduce application specific Java Beans. The same might be true for other SDK components. All other specs are more UI specs rather than API specs anyway. The OOoBean is actually just a base class which can be used to implement JavaBeans for OOo comoments. It can be used directly in Java applications, though. Just not as a real Java Bean. Please take details from the updated chapter on the OOoBean, which is currently checked and will be replace the old OfficeBean chapter soon. Implementations based on the old Office Bean framework (LocalOfficeWindow and LocalOfficeConnection) should still work. But toolbox/menu controll will not work anymore due to changes in the OOo toolbox/menu implementation. The new OOoBean uses the new APIs for this funktionality.

I would say that this is more a problem of missing documentation and examples. Private graphics for example can be accessed within the package as far as i know (i will check it and i will come back with the info). Own configuration schemes are only necessary if you have really configurable data in your component.

I agree for the Basic users, because they use the office as IDE for their macros and dialogs. For all other languages (e.g. Java , C++) i would prefer some kind of integration (e.g. wizards) in popular IDE's like Eclipse or Netbeans for Java. - Juergen ciao Paolo - 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]
Re: [api-dev] OpenOffice.org Extensions - was Format for information file about templates and addons
Hi Ian, I am not a friend of licenses and I am not good at policies and stuff, but I think that the Programmer's Guide cannot be edited by you, because it is published under the Sun Microsystems flag. That means that you probably need to make an agreement with Sun first.

Re: [api-dev] Menu control
Hi Matthias, I do ask myself, why those interfaces are deprecated. Why not removing them completely? a) from source code (I searched with ximian lxr and there was no single implementation I found about XMenu) b) from documentation (IDL Reference) -- Best Regards Christian Junker On Fri, 04 Mar 2005 09:07:52 +0100, Mathias Bauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Christian Junker wrote: I remember some time ago, that it had been discussed that OOo 2.0 will provide functional interfaces that haven't been functional yet in any way (XMenu, XMenuListener) and probably add some more interfaces that make menus accessible via API. We don't use XMenu etc., those interfaces remain deprecated. The new API is much more abstract. I'm afraid the documentation is still not ready. Maybe we can provide some example code on the framework project Website. Now that the first beta candidate has been released, I would like to know if that is possible yet. I tried putting information together and working it out for 1.9.m79 but I did not succeed. I think that there is a lot of request in this area, since it would improve customization of OOo's GUI a lot and make it possible for developers around the world to create their own OOo looks (of course there are tight boundaries, but as of yet it is not even possible to disable certain menu entries in the main menu as far as I know) without having to hack portions of the huge source code and repackaging their own oo distributions. For complete customization of menu it is still recommended to use XML files. The new API for menus is a dynamic way to change the menu at runtime, f.e. to extend it for components added to the installation.

[api-dev] [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPIC: Contributing
Dear OpenOffice.org community, This is the 2-weekly announcement of current issues regarding the OOo API project which I want to hightlight to the community. *** = *** Todays Issue: Contributing to the OOo API Project *** - The OOo community needs YOUR contribution too. And we are sure that you can contribute real value to OOo. Don't know how? YOU too can contribute to the OOo API project by: - Reviewing the documentation and reporting issues if you find any - Useing the OOo API and reporting issues if you find any - Answering the Questions of other Users of the OOo API - Summarizing answers which were given to questions (CodeSnippets) - Contributing your larger API examples to our example collection - Pointing out important articles for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] NEWSLETTER - Tracking unanswered questions on this mailing list - Preparing the next issue of [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPIC - Writing Test Cases - Translating Examples to C++ (NEW!) - Becoming an Official OOo Contributor Each idea contains a short description of how you could help in its respect, one ore more URLs for more information and an estimation about the efford on the task. *** = *** Reviewing the documentation and report issues if you find any *** - Besides others, the OOo SDK contains a Developers Guide and a Reference Guide. It's not only important for developers who want to develop applications with OOo to know these well. There is also always room for improvement in such documents. Thus, read the documentation: - http://api.openoffice.org/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.html - http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/module-ix.html And when you find anything to improve which you think should actually be improved, report an issue to IssueZilla. After once being registered with IssueZilla, reporting an issue is just a matter of minutes. *** = *** Using the OOo API and reporting issues if you find any *** - Next you might want to use the OOo API for your own projects. Nothing is perfect, thus don't hesitate to report problems you consider worth getting fixed to IssueZilla. Here you find a description of OOos IssueZilla: - http://www.openoffice.org/project_issues.html After once being registered with IssueZilla, reporting an issue is just a matter of minutes. Of course code examples, well stripped down to the point, would help us even more. Thus count about up to 30 minutes for a complex issue. *** = *** Answering the Questions of other Users of the OOo API *** - dev@api.openoffice.org is not an official support medium. But that does not mean, we do not want questions answers. The OOo developers will do their very best to answer questions, but WE NEED YOUR HELP! The OOo core development team is very small compared to competing projects. Thus we cannot answer all questions. If you know an answer of somebody elses question, please post it to the list. If you are not sure, answer anyway, but mention your incertitude. This way you give the core developers more space to answer the tough questions, maybe your next tough question. If you know the answer off hand, it only needs a few minutes to contribute by answering questions. But we appreciate it even more if you have a vague idea and do some research. *** = *** Summarizing answers which were given to questions (CodeSnippets) *** - If you asked a question and got a satisfactory answer with a code example, be so nice and save it for somebody else who might have the same question in future. The mail archive can be searched, but the search features are not good enough, mostly because mails are not structured enough. But there is a better way: Summarize your question and the given answer(s) in an XML format for CodeSnippets. You can find more information here: - http://api.openoffice.org/SDK/snippets/ To delopy a CodeSnippet, you need about 15 minutes each. Don't you think that the answer given to you was worth it? Please submit the created codesnippet to the mailinglist dev@api.openoffice.org and it will be integrated into the snippet-collection on http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/ by one of the comminity members with CVS commit rights.
