Re: [api-dev] Mapping of the UNO type hyper in StarBasic
There is no possibility as I see it, because you cannot directly convert a decimal to hyper, at least I can't (again I would be happy if you prove me wrong with a code snippet). But if you do it with a conversion to an whole number before, you cannot avoid a possible loss of data, which would make the use of Decimal useless in this case. 2006/6/27, Bernard Marcelly [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Bonjour Christian Junker Message du 2006-06-27 16:46: Then how would you want to convert it to hyper from Decimal? I believe there is no working way to do this, but I would be happy if you prove me wrong. I don't see your point. Hyper is a signed 64 bits integer, and it fits inside a Decimal range. When converting from Decimal to Hyper, of course the Decimal value must be an integer value within the range of Hyper. And the conversion from Decimal internal representation to Hyper should not pose big problems: Basic already can convert from Decimal to Long.

Re: [api-dev] Mapping of the UNO type hyper in StarBasic
Hi Paolo, I have the same problems as you have here. I guess there is no other way than using CreateUnoValue. There are two things I want to comment on at this time: 1) numeric constants like 5 should raise *no* errors when being passed to functions that expect arguments of UNO type 'hyper'. It could be avoided by typecasting in the various implementations (I guess hyper is nothing else than the C99 long long int), so that no error occurs. Maybe the Basic runtime throws those errors before the implementation function is even called. All that needs to be investigated. 2) using CreateUnoValue might be too difficult for some to see or use at first sight, thus making hyper a real type as single, double etc. would make things more comfortable for the programmer. Would be good to hear what Andreas Bregas thinks about that. 2006/6/19, Paolo Mantovani [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all, as from subject: how does it is mapped the hyper UNO type in StarBasic?

Re: [api-dev] How to debug API usage
Hi Yves, as far as I know of, there is no easy way to switch debugging on, because in the case you got your OpenOffice as a binary package it is very likely that it has been built without debugging enabled. Now, the hard way would be to build OOo yourself and use DEBUG TRUE for the right modules. But that said I am not informed how things have developed recently, maybe it is even possible with 2.x to get all output logged somewhere. 2006/6/6, Bénigot Yves [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I use open office developper release 2.0.3 on Linux with Java and UNO. Openoffice is started as a server under root and accessed via jboss. When I try to use storeToURL() to an RTF file I get com.sun.star.task.ErrorCodeIOException, although the URL seems correct (its a file url). Also running a test program under different conditions (eclipse client on Windows, to a Linux server, instead of using the API as a jboss backend) works. - So I need to get more information about what goes wrong in my precise case. Is there a way to get a trace of what happens on the openoffice side, to understand why the file write fails ? Is there a journal file for errors ? or a debug switch ?

Hi Felix, no way to get the output directly, because Basic would need to handle pipes then. It is under consideration whether UNO should be extended to give support for standard IO, see #i53061#.

I've heard that the new API makes it easier to connect to, but since the old application has been written and is working I don't want to change it. I've also heard (but am not sure) that in 2.x.x, to get OOo to listen to a Java connection, I have to do something other than the old edit to Setup.xcu.

[api-dev] Connect to a remote office on another machine from SB
Hi all, often it has been talked about that OOo is perfectly capable of acting as a server on one machine and listening for UNO connections from other machines. Up till now I haven't seen a lot of examples showing this, so I just wanted to test if this was practically possible (inspired by a question on oooforum.org) and started a soffice process in listening mode in my wlan on Mac OS X Tiger. I chose to use Starbasic as it shows that you can purely do a socket connection with the OOo API. I used the UnoUrlResolver service as it is used in other languages as well to connect to a running Office, but you can probably also use the XConnector which gives you more low-level power. Also there is a Socket service in the io module. Of course it is probably not that efficient to use Starbasic, since you need to run OOo two times (on server and client machine) but well, it works ;-). I executed the SB code from a Win32 machine, having tested just this case up till now (Win32-Mac OS X), of course you shouldn't have firewalls running and make sure there are no heavy security settings turned on, in case you want to test the code. code Sub connectToRemoteOffice() '192.168.2.103 is the TCP/IP address of the server running OOo with '-accept=socket,host=0,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager' res = createUNOService(com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver) remotemgr = res.resolve(uno:socket,host=192.168.2.103,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager) desk = remotemgr.createInstance(com.sun.star.frame.Desktop) desk.loadComponentFromURL(private:factory/swriter, _blank, 0, Array()) 'look on the server monitor now :-) End Sub /code As you can see it's just a few lines, so it's very simple and clean code.

[api-dev] existing UNO bridges
I was trying to get the names of the existing UNO bridges implemented
into the office.
When testing it from Starbasic, like so
code
Sub Main
bridgefac = createUNOService(com.sun.star.bridge.BridgeFactory)
msgbox UBound(bridgefac.getExistingBridges())
End Sub
/code
the msgbox gives me a value of -1 back, indicating that there are no
existing bridges.
When trying this method from C++, like so
code
Reference XBridgeFactory xBridgeFactory(
xMultiComponentFactoryServer-createInstanceWithContext(
OUString(
RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM(com.sun.star.bridge.BridgeFactory ) ),
xComponentContext ), UNO_QUERY );
/* looks for existing bridges and prints out the name of the first
bridge contained in the sequence returned by getExistingBridges()
*/
OUString brname;
Sequence Reference XBridge aBridgeSeq;
if( xBridgeFactory.is() )
{
aBridgeSeq = xBridgeFactory-getExistingBridges();
if (aBridgeSeq.hasElements())
brname = aBridgeSeq.getArray()[0]-getName();
printf(UNO bridge 1 is named\t%s\n, (char*) brname.getStr());
}
/code
the sequence returns one single bridge (I checked with getLength() on
the seq) with the name u.
So my question is:
What does this method really return? The documentation talks about a
full list of all unnamed and named bridges, but yet it does only
return me 1 entry in C++ and nothing at all in SB.
Trying to extract some logic out of the results, it rather seems to me
as if the function only checks for the bridges that are currently in
active use, ie the cpp bridge would be used when calling from C++, but
then why is it named u?

Re: [api-dev] Sequence of Texttables
In addition to what Andrew provided here, there is yet another way, which is probably not that good but can be taken into account: Using the viewcursor you can go from the beginning to the end of the document regularly checking if the property TextTable of the viewcursor is void (IsEmpty(cur.TextTable)) . Nevertheless the enumeration way is the more reliable one. Do note, that right now in the 680 line (2.0 beta) thisComponent is broken, so use Stardesktop.getCurrentComponent() instead and make sure you run the macro from the menu and not from the Basic IDE.2005/6/15, Andrew Douglas Pitonyak [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Martin Thoma wrote:Hello!

Re: [api-dev] How to identify and remove empty pages in writer document.
Alright, after some replies with code that was just out of the box, meaning it wasn't well thought about, I decided to spend some more time on this coming up with a hopefully complete-working macro. The result can be seen on: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=20153 As a remark: It is nice to see how much can be done with just the viewcursors, no need for a textcursor to accomplish such a task.

Re: [api-dev] How to identify and remove empty pages in writer document.
Hi Malcolm, maybe the macro I just wrote will help you. Please note that it is by no means 'perfect' because I have not tested all possible situations. The problem is that there is no such API function as to recognize whether a page is empty, so you have to check it on your own. Because there are many ways to skip a page it is also not doable in one specific and simple way. My macro checks the first 'chars' characters on the page, if they are all whitespace or if there is none but a page break it will remove the page. You can set the value to whatever you want (I check for the first 50 characters), depending on how well your document is structured. For example if you don't have messy formatting (messy means i.e. if some pages only have text in the middle and don't start at the top) then you can set it be low, otherwise set this value much higher. code Private chars as Integer 'specifies the number of characters checked at the beginning of every page Function emptypage Dim i as Integer chars = 50 odoc = thisComponent 'if you have problems with thisComponent for the new OOo 2.0 builds, 'use Stardesktop.getCurrentComponent() instead otext = odoc.getText() cur = otext.createTextCursor() cur.goToStart(False) view = odoc.getCurrentController() viewcursor = view.getViewCursor() 'retrieve total page number viewcursor.jumpToLastPage() npages = viewcursor.getPage() viewcursor.jumpToFirstPage() For i = 1 to npages cur.goRight(chars, True) txt = Trim(cur.String) If len(txt) = 0 Then DeletePage(cur, i) Else If Asc(txt) = 32 Then DeletePage(cur, i) Else viewcursor.jumpToNextPage() cur.goToRange(viewcursor.getStart(), False) End If End If Next i End Function Function DeletePage(cur, i as Integer) cur.goLeft(chars, False) cur.goToNextWord(True) cur.setString() i =+ 1 End Function/code Hope this helps you. 2005/5/14, malcolm cooke [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Paolo,I would if I could :-)Unfortunately the adding / removing of text to/from the template document(which in itself contains a lot of formatted text) is database driven anddependent upon a whole host of factors based around a particular customers geographic location.

Re: [api-dev] preview in BASIC dialog
Don't know of a direct way. As a dirty workaround it came to my mind: loading an impress document (in the background) inserting the writer/calc document as an OLEShape into the first drawing page, making its size as big as the drawing page. Then creating a PageShape with either the documentfactory of the dummy-impress document or your actual document - which is nothing else than a previewshape showing the current drawpage in small - and showing it in your awt window or wherever you want to place it. The nice thing about the pageshape is that it is in live mode and that you have full control over it (size, position etc.). However, I rather suggest that you dig through some more resources, like searching in the list of dispatch commands, diving through the Developer's Guide or in the last place to look into the source code. LXR (http://ooo.ximian.com) will be a good helper when it comes to the third point.

Re: [api-dev] How can I get the url of the currently opened document?
That's because you need to query for the correct interface first, before you use such a method. In this case I would query the com.sun.star.frame.XModel interface and call the method getURL() on the returned object. In order to code in Java for OOo, you need to know about such things as queryInterface, and I suggest that you read the first chapters of the Developer's Guide which should explain this. -- Best Regards Christian Junker On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 13:46:47 +0100, Ines Pfauch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 09.03.2005, at 13:20, Aidan Butler wrote: Hello, The URL of the document is stored as a property of the document component.

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.

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. Best Regards Christian Junker Peter Eberlein wrote: Christian Junker schrieb: and I forgot: Once the macro has finsihed you call endExecute() on the dialog and it should return to the document again. Christian, when the dialog is executed and shown on the screen, the macro stops (sleeps) at this point until the user triggers any event (pushs a button), doesn't it? That means, the user must trigger the main function (disabling the dialog, showing the progress bar, doing all the other things and ending execute the dialog). But that's not what Christian Anderson wanted.

Hi Marc, the xmlcontent is what it says it is :). It's simply a string automatically put together in another function that builds up a simple xml structure.

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.
