Re: [api-dev] Excel's Offset substitute?
Hello Dmitry! Am 26.02.2008 17:45 schrieb Dmitry Teslenko: Hello! Some time ago I've needed to implement Excel-like Offset function and I've got this: Private Function __CompatOffset(ByRef objSource As Object, _ intRow As Integer, intColumn As Integer) As Object Dim intSheet As Integer intRow = objSource.CellAddress.Row + intRow intColumn = objSource.CellAddress.Column + intColumn intSheet = objSource.CellAddress.Sheet __CompatOffset = ThisComponent.getSheets().getByIndex(intSheet).getCellByPosition( _ intColumn, intRow) End Function It was implemented in OO Basic. Can it be implemented another way w/o struct CellAddress and w/o dispatcher? Please describe how do you use this macro. Calc knows also a OFFSET-function. What is the difference to Excel, so that you created this macro?

[api-dev] any workaround for issue 84718?
Hello! I created a form document for a costumer so one can dial a phone number from this form. The macrocode for this uses SystemShellExecute. It worked fine until OOo 2.1. Now it doesn't work but the costumer want to use it. The target of this issue is set to OOo 3.0. But is there a usable workaround till then?

I tried to find the reason (I never use Times New Roman) or a property to fix it - I find nothing and do not really have more ideas. Additional information: All documents are converted MS Word documents - so I am afraid, there is still some information left - but how can I get it out? It seems there are format errors in the imported document. And if the paragraph styles are not based on Default so the behavior is correct.

Re: [api-dev] Problems with insertDocument (addition)
Hello Thomas! Am 23.11.2007 17:13 schrieb Thomas Krumbein: I do have some strange problems using insertDocument. Maybe someone can give me some advise? Situation: I do have two writer Documents (lets call them MasterDoc and Doc2). In all documents my Standard charFont ist Arial, the properties of OOo even shows Arial as a standard font for all selections. Now, I am using insertDocumentFromURL() to insert Doc2 in my MasterDocument. It works fine - but afterwards the Paragraph-style Standard of my MasterDoc is changes and charFont is now Times New Roman It could be, that the paragraph style Normal in the original document is not changed to Arial. So if you have no text in your MasterDoc (so no paragraph style is used) writer overwrites Default with the formats of the imported Normal paragraph style. So this problem could be solved if you insert a (empty) paragraph and delete it after the import. At the same way i worked around the described Default problem in the former message. I insert a paragraph at the end of the document, insert the new document at the paragraph before the last paragraph and delete the last paragraph after import.

Re: [api-dev] dialog opens behind the document
Hello Mathias! I have a calc template with macros and a dialog in it. The main macro is bound to the event create document of the template. The macro loads the dialog. If i double click the template file (linux, ubuntu) and a other OOo-window is open, the dialog starts behind the new document in front of the former top OOo-window. That is strange. The events Create/OpenDocument have been defined in a way that they won't be fired before the document they belong to got the focus for the first time. I'm pretty sure this works well for Open Document, may be Create Document has a bug. Can you test if the macro works fine if you assing it to the Open Document event of the template and then open the template for editing? It's the same behavior with a *.ods if i assign the macro to Open Document. (With the template it has no effect by double clicking it. ;-) ) BTW: which platform? How i wrote in the 2. paragraph: Linux/Ubuntu.

Hello Noelson! It seems a typo, change to: Select Case iNum Thanks for the correction. But it is only a mistake in my email. Otherwise the macro would never run ... So here is the description with the correct statement: In a basic macro i use a simple Select Case statement: Option Explicit Sub Test1 Dim sDate As String Dim iNum As Integer Dim iBreak As Integer On Error GoTo ErrorHandler sDate = Date() iNum = DatePart( w, sDate, 2 ) iBreak = 0 Select Case iNum Case 1, 6 iBreak = 2 Case 2 To 5 iBreak = 1 End Select MsgBox iBreak Exit Sub ErrorHandler: MsgBox error End Sub The macro works fine on my Ubuntu 6.06 with german locale settings. But on a linux system with english locale settings the macro gives either a internal error arg $1 or a undefined variable in line n, where the line n is the line Case 2 To 5. If i change Case 2 To 5 to Case 2, 3, 4, 5 the macro runs without any error. Strange!? Can anybody reproduce this problem?

Thank you for your answer. But this isn't a solution for me, because it should be possible to use the original document as a template. To create a link to a sheet, the container document must be saved. So it must be temporarily saved. (And i think that there are other problems.) I've found a solution by myself by recording the dispatcher commands for copy/move of a sheet. But using this view API the sheet must also be visible. I am searching for a solution to create a new calc document based on a hidden sheet. (e. g. copy the hidden sheet to the new document, make it visible and delete the other sheets.)

[api-dev] How copy a sheet to another calc document?
Hello! I want copy a sheet from a document to another document by using a basic script that is embedded in the first document. After searching in the mailinglists I have found http://api.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=devmsgNo=6847 where Stephan (3,5 years ago) described a solution with the dispatch API. So I use the same subject. But the problem is, that the original sheet must be visible. Is there meanwhile another solution? e. g. saving the sheet as a object variable and insert it into the new document?

If i copy the content of the sheet into a sheet by the described way, the named areas will work only if the sheet in the new document have the same internal number as the original sheet - even if the new sheet have the same name as the original sheet.

Re: [api-dev] getting the actual text of a formatted field
Hello Berend and Frank! Am 05.12.2006 12:45 schrieb Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems Germany: this is a bug that I could reproduce. The property Text or its method pendant getText() of the control should return the displayed text. I submitted http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72281 to deal with it. ... isn't this a duplicate of http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23080 ? Thank you for your answers. Is there a better(?) workaround then view.up() and view.down()?

[api-dev] getting the actual text of a formatted field
Hello! I want to create a letter via basic macro. The macro reads the initial data for the letter from a form - the form controls are not linked to a database. For the date i want to use a date control, but there isn't a formatting like 'd. '. So i use a formatted field with this formatting, but also a date control to use the date selector (calendar). (I have sized the date control field so that only the date selector is visible.) On the change event of a field a macro reads the actual value and writes it to the other field. Thats works fine. But the problem is, that i see the correct date at the screen (e. g. '4. Dezember 2006'), but the property 'text' of the control model and also of the view returns the value that is formerly set by the user. So my workaround is, to use the methods up() and then down() at the view of the formatted field to set the correct value to the text property. But i think that there is another (and better) way and which i not see ... Hope you can understand me. ;-) Mathias -- ·-· cut here ·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-8·-· - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] printing current sheet
Hello Marc! Am 14.11.2006 00:09 schrieb Marc Santhoff: So the question is: how can i figure out, which print page number has the actual sheet? Or, how can i figure out, on which print page(s) will a special print area reside? As a workaround you can: - use the PrintAreas of the calc doc: - store old print areas - Sheet.getPrintAreas() ... at every sheet - clear all print areas at all sheets - set a new one for the used range of the sheet you want to print, maybe adapt scaling to 100% - print - restore old print areas Now i preferred this solution. If i have the time i will create a code snippet.

Re: [api-dev] printing current sheet
Hello Tobias! Thank you for your answer. Am 13.11.2006 13:14 schrieb Tobias Krais: In a calc document i want to place a button with that the user can print the actual sheet or rather the defined (and named) print area at the sheet. But i can't find the right print options to do that. please see the code attached. It is free, again. This is a good example, but not this that i need. (I use Basic, but this isn't a problem.) My workaround is equivalent to this code, where myPages is set by the button tag. (Ich habe einen Knopf auf der Tabelle, der das Makro auslöst und in der Zusatzinformation die zu druckende Seite(nnummer) übergibt.) // Setting the property Pages so that only the desired pages // will be printed. PropertyValue[] printOpts = new PropertyValue[1]; printOpts[0] = new PropertyValue(); printOpts[0].Name = Pages; printOpts[0].Value = myPages; The problem is, that in the document the tables must not be moved or deleted, because the print page number will not be right further more. So the question is: how can i figure out, which print page number has the actual sheet? Or, how can i figure out, on which print page(s) will a special print area reside? greetings Mathias -- ·-· cut here ·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-8·-· - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That I already imagined. :-( - try to use the print preview (not tested, would be an interesting solution) - use the PrintAreas of the calc doc: - store old print areas - Sheet.getPrintAreas() - set a new one for the used range of the sheet you want to print, maybe adapt scaling to 100% - print - restore old print areas I also imagined that it could be a solution if i define no print areas and only set one with the print job.

Re: [api-dev] [CPHennessy] [users] Print order '4; 1; 2; 3'?
Am 10.08.2005 09:47 schrieb Turbo Fredriksson: I don't know, why you would specifify the pageorder. If you print pages 1-8 with the 'brochure' option, you will get a 'book' with 8 pages in the right order. Also pages 9-16, 17-32 aso. Oki, so which variable do i set for this? I can set the 'PaperOrientation' (using 'com.sun.star.view.PaperOrientation.LANDSCAPE'), the 'PaperFormat' (using 'com.sun.star.view.PaperFormat.A4'), 'PageRows' and 'PageColumns'.

Re: [api-dev] How to open a database form
Hi Frank, Am 16.02.2005 13:53 schrieb Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems, Inc.: Is there a way to link writer documents (form document) to a database? I can't see it ... No, the Links (or Verknüpfungen in your version) are not available anymore. The idea is that you now store your text documents in the database document (and don't let confuse you that they're called forms, you of course have the full power of Writer at your disposal :). Yes, but if i would attach basic macros the document wants to save as a separately writer document. Or have i made a mistake? greetings Mathias -- ·-· cut here ·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-8·-· - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
