Re: [api-dev] OOo Summer Internship Program - Improve (Python) scriptability
Hi Welcome on board and thanks focusing on python :) I personally can also think about some IDE integration of Python to simplify the creation, debugging, deployment of Python scripts. +100 Python binding probably needs improvement but IMHO, a better integration inside OOo with its own IDE would boost the python use (or a clear binding with an existing one through, why not, an extension if possible) Anyway, Eric please correct me if i am wrong.

Re: [api-dev] using css.awt.AsyncCallback in OOoBasic
Hi again thanks a lot it works, at least i can define a callback :) i did dome tests and i encounter a strange behaviour my call chain is, i added a print statement at the end of each subroutine sub listener_moussereleased -- sub 1 -- sub 2 i define the callback in sub2 and put (for the moment) a wait statement what happens is 1. in sub2, the callback is first called 2; the wait statement in the call bask is ok 3. a print statement occurs for sub 2 4. then the print statement for the callback 5. then the call back for sub1 and sub listener_moussereleased this does not depend on the time I wait in the callback My goal would be have the callback at the end of sub listener_moussereleased is the implementation of the css.awt.AsyncCallback ok ?

Hi peter If you comment out your Print in the main routine, than the Print in the callback function works as expected. Try to replace both print methods with Msgbox and it makes you wonder... The Msgbox in the callback function doesn't appear without any errors. thanks a lot i'll have a loook now i solved my problem, and, should I say it, i'm really happy first i deduced that AsyncCallback is only effective at the end of the routine that has put the callback so i've transported my parameters as return values of functions (instead of sub); At the top level caller, my listener that led me to crash, i used the callback a very small wait 100 inside it did the trick so now i have a method that enable (or do as) closing a document inside a listener call depending on it; in fact this only an artefact using the async callback, but it works thanks a lot Mikhail, Franck and Peter A free beer the next time we meet :) i wish you wondefull christmas hollidays laurent - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@api.openoffice.org

Re: [api-dev] Moving CoceSnippets into the Wiki?
HI The same remark goes for anything published on any Wiki. You should not blindly trust a Wiki :( i don't trust blindly and sometimes i thought it would be a good idea to limit the access to our wiki. But anyway it is as it is! And you already said it, it is true for everything in the wiki. I believe in a working community and if the wiki is really used and active, bad documentation gets corrected and bad snippets gets corrected as well or removed. Or at least identified and marked as critical or whatever. Is it possible to systematically initiate a mail on a dedicated mailing list (or volunteers) that inform that a snippet page has been created or modified (eg. from Sample) Then any modification is known immediately and depending on time, the snippet may be reviewed quickly A wiki works only if the users self control the content, see for example wikipedia. yers, but tools has to be correctly setup to allow the management Laurent -- Laurent Godard [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Ingénierie OpenOffice.org - http://www.indesko.com Nuxeo Enterprise Content Management http://www.nuxeo.com - http://www.nuxeo.org Livre Programmation OpenOffice.org, Eyrolles 2004-2006 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi juergen In other words: Are we really sure migration to the Wiki is the best way? I'm uncertain about it. we are not 100% sure but it is worth a test from my point of view. We haven't really a huge number of snippets and the question is why. My impression is that it is to complicate. It might be also a solution to have some kind of snippet creator form integrated in the existing infra structure. But then it is the question who would be able and have the time to prepare such a form ... Or we can extend the snippet creator to support direct import of existing snippets ... sounds good to me may be make a call for volunteers ?

Hi Bernard, Hi all +1 Using Wiki for coding is a security hazard because any malicious (or even a well intentioned) person may change a working code to a dangerous code. Most users will run the published code without checking it, and checking complex codes is not easy. I totally second you concerns.

Re: [api-dev] Is there an example for packaging macros as an extension somewhere ?
HI Mathias As other macros than Basic are usually not created by the internal IDE it's an acceptable limitation IMHO. So having an extension for this task would be the right tool. I wonder whether something like that is planned in the NetBeans pluging. Paolo's BaB (Basic Addon Builder) is the way It is actually dedicated to basic macros but creating extra step supporting a specific language (or external sources) is totally possible It is even packaged as an extension http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_Packager So, imho, it is the way to go.

Re: [api-dev] status of XGalleryThemeProvider
Hu Jurgen we have no fixed time period for unpublished APIs, the recommendation is to publish an API at least after two releases. But APIs can be unpublished forever when their usage is intended to be internally only. ok is it worth to setup a something for a regular review of this (not that often, but reglar ?) It is always a good idea to ask frequently to publish an API if it's unpublished, i guess that would speed up the process. But of course the developer decides if the API is final or not but you can always help with constructive feedback ;-) guess what did I ask this question ? a snippet is being created on a french user work basis discovering this api and using it but i do not want to advertize API that are not published and can be removed/modified without any warning so my question Thanks Laurent -- Laurent Godard [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Ingénierie OpenOffice.org - http://www.indesko.com Nuxeo Enterprise Content Management http://www.nuxeo.com - http://www.nuxeo.org Livre Programmation OpenOffice.org, Eyrolles 2004-2006 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[api-dev] OOoCon meeting on Extensions Project
Hi all The OOoCon meeting on Extensions Project will occur on monday 14:00 The Extensions project has been proposed last year at Koper and been setup some month later. Valuable work occured and the wiki is up and starts to be filled. The proposed meeting will cover the following points, involving all participants * State of the project * Started work : what is currently developped (especially in Hamburg) ? When will it be ready ? Do we have to wait or should we propose an intermediate solution ... * they're will be a NetBeans integration presentation of the current state and outlook * online update of extension * licensing of extension * ... * Express and formalize the needs : Help mechanism, new UNO controls (treeview, enhanced lists), deployement of addons at installation time ... * Translations : pages of the wiki are in english. Is the translation mechanism proposed sufficient ? * Pending projects : prebuilt wizards, Extension Translation framework * Volunteers questions regarding the organization of the project * Proposal : organize an annual developpers meeting (coding sprint) to push particular aspects of the project (installer, pre-built wizards, Extension translation framework, documentations and starting guides ... ) * Any point and discussion regarding Extensions project All the point discussed will be recorded and a synthesis of all discussion will be relayed to involved project (Framework, installer, l10n ...) Feel free to add any point or comment on this schedule Thanks and see you on monday 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]
Re: [api-dev] Unpublished UNO API
Hi Stefan there are two issues with unpublished UNO API I want you (as both an API author and consumer) to be aware of: thanks for this reminder :-) First, if you release some unpublished API that is badly needed by UNO component/OOo extension writers to get their job done, chances are that those writers will use your API in their components/extensions anyway. I agree Second, we neither have nor plan to have in place a mechanism to detect that some UNO component/OOo extension uses an old revision of some unpublished API. That is, there will not be any warning if you deploy such a component/extension into an environment where it will not work, and at runtime using that component/extension can have unexpected effects. anything that can be done there by exploring the source code and checks against the deprecated/unpublished status ? this would be a tool for Extensions designer if valuable (still do not know), dicussions may occur at here or better at [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list thanks again 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]

Re: [api-dev] Easy to use complex toolbar controls for add-ons
Hi Mathias Hm, listeners can be registered by another macro, that itself can by started by an event - and the listeners themselves are called by the event source. Or what do you mean? how is the first macro called ? The problem with global variables is that they are, well, global. If you have more than one extension they might use the same global variables. Or is there something like global in the library or module scope that still can survive the termination of the macro? (Sorry, I'm not an OOo Basic expert.) my fisrt thought was usin global, and yes you're right about multiple instances. can be tricky regarding, the scope, as paolo sais, it seems to be possible that listeners are not unregistred when the macro ends i've never tested this way but this does not solve this specific problem (perharps using an array ?) As already mentioned: currently there is no way to pass an object to a macro that shall be called by macro URL or macro name. Problem number one. that's why i spoke about an intermediate that relay the call, adding the event Btw, do you mean inside the code or through xcu files ? If I understood correctly you want to create a listbox in the toolbar that depending on the selected entry calls different macros, right? no take the uno list objetc it has events, i want to have the same ones Now let's discuss the way how the listbox gets filled. This is the point where the status updating comes into play: a dispatch object will initialize the listbox and also change its content. As already described this is the second problem I see that needs to be solved if we want to use all the new toolbar features in Basic. right, but teh same mechanism previously proposed can be used, no ? i tis a matter of event intializing Your example seems to be simpler: I don't see that you want to change the content of the listbox at runtime, so having a static dropdown menu button that gets the macros to be called for each list entry by a configuration file (Addon.xcu) and not by status updating as described by Carsten would be enough. Why establishing a complex communication channel for something that is sent only once? argh, perharps my example was not so good explained obviously, i want to be able to manipulate the listbox dynamically !! fill it, remove items, retreive active item ... like a real componenent If you just want to allow listboxes in toolbars bound to Basic macros we could make this possible by creating a new toolbar button type that reads the list from the Addon.xcu, just like a sub menu in the Addon menu. basically, i think we should look at the already combo uno object and provide all its feature to a basic macro http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/awt/XListBox.html I'll try to install the last m16x to see exactly this feauture working thanks to the provided example.

Re: [api-dev] Easy to use complex toolbar controls for add-ons
Hi Carsten Just for your infomration. The new toolbar controller enhancements are not a com.sun.star.awt substitution. The implementation is deeply integrated into the Office framework and therefore cannot support the same feature set as low-level awt controls! Most functions are supported or can be added without any problem. thanks for your precision but this sounds odd to me regarding UNO nature and componentization I'll have a look (m169 just finished downloading) trying to understand how it actually works (with an external poor user pow) But i think that script coders are expecting to have access to the standard features and events of such controls and that's why i told about the awt controls Thanks 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]
Re: [api-dev] Easy to use complex toolbar controls for add-ons
Hi Mathias This morning I had another idea that might solve the other problems: if we use a dispatch object service as a relay between the UI elements and the basic code as I proposed we also can use this object as a storage for data associated to this connection, e.g. by providing a property container (that is used from Basic quite easily!). This way you don't need to use global variables. And if we want to send status updates to the UI element we can do this based on the data stored at the object and by calling a forwarding method of the object. Greatshot I think this is really the way The only problem then will be to identify the dispatch object amongst the bunch of them that might have been created, but as we can make frame and command URL accessible to the listener (implemented in Basic) we can use the combination of both as a unique identifier for searching for the dispatch object in a global container of such objects. I will draw up this in a more detailed manner. each toolbar objects has a name so a getByName like over a sequence could be a solution thanks again let us know 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]

Re: [api-dev] Easy to use complex toolbar controls for add-ons
Hi Mathias Thanks for your response Perhaps instead of macro event bindings we could use listeners as Basic is able to implement them? But I'm not sure wether listeners implemented in Basic will survive the termination of the macro that registers them. But you or Paolo as Basic experts know, I assume. ;-) sounds interresting listeners can survive using a global variable but, the remaining problem is how to start the listeners There still is the other way around: once a UI element gets a dispatch object it will register at it as a css.frame.XStatusEventListener and expects to receive status events. Thew new controls don't make any sense without providing proper status information. right The macro code must be able to provide this information and it must be able to *update* it when needed. So each created dispatch object must be accessible somehow later to send a new status. This means: you must store the information for this somewhere, you can't store it in variables in your basic code because you shouldn't have your macro running permanently by using a busy loop. So where should the data go? using a global variable let you store information You see: a lot of questions to answer. But not impossible. :-) Perhaps it would help if you ore Paolo could describe a possible use case where you would like to use the new toolbar control features in basic code. ok let's try - a dropdown list in the toolbar nammed myToolbarObject - this object has an event change - reacting on this event, a macro can be called, passing an event objetc, containing the source of that event to setup the called macro via the event, a new node could be insterted in the addon.xcu prop oor:name=ControlType oor:type=xs:string valueCombobox/value /prop ... ... ... prop oor:name=Events prop oor:name=change oor:type=xs:string prop oor:name=URL oor:type=xs:string valuemacro://mylib.mymodule.aMacro/value /prop prop oor:name=otherevent oor:type=xs:string prop oor:name=URL oor:type=xs:string valuemacro://mylib.mymodule.otherMacro/value /prop /prop and then having a macro sub aMacro(event) theCombo = event.source 'print the combobox name print event.source.Name end sub So this is a kind of listeners but that are automatically launched when loading the toolbar (btw, this should already be done) Then, reacting on an event is calling the specified macro with the event object as argument. that's why i spoke of a kind of relaying This can be complementary to the present implementation, (the events call can the just be overloaded ?)

Hi Frank They're bound to the model, but that's not necessarily the same as creator. yes For instance, you could load a model without any view, by retrieving the DataSource at the DatabaseContext (getByName( URL ) ), and asking this DataSource for its Document (.getDatabaseDocument).

Do you would expect more contributions, improvements when the snippets would be in a wiki system where changes are easier?

Once ok, lets put it as static on the page So for the code snippet, a link pointing on the wiki with the access to its translation - Did Ian achieve its syntax highlighting job ?
