Hal ,

when using a Listner the Listener subroutine is called with a "EventObject"
the EventObject.source  is the ButtonControl
the EventObject.source.context is the DialogControl



oDialogControl = oEvent.source.context

you can add a listener to the button (using code) or manualy using the GUI to place  a  
"event" on the button  who call a macro subroutine

But when I do that, and the listener calls CloseDialog(), how do I make sure 
that particular Dialog object is available to the CloseDialog() subroutine?  I 
tried it as you have it written and at the dialog.setvisible(false) line I got

2) Is there any way to run a macro when the "X" on the title bar of the dialog 
is clicked?

no,  you can add a listener on closing the dialog or using the the "stetvisible" who 
avoid the functioning off the X  and you can add a  "cancelbuton" who call a sub who 
close the dialog and do someting more...

Thanks!

I've mentioned the sticky-note project I'm working on yesterday in two emails.

Now I'm running into a problem: I'd like to display a number of sticky-notes, 
but to display any kind of dialog in BASIC, I need to do something like this:

oSticky = createUnoDialog(DialogLibraries.HalLib.StickyNote)
oSticky.Execute()

And the program will stop until I close the dialog, either by the close button, 
a cancel, or OK, or another button.

That means the only way to have multiple dialogs open is to open one and from 
there, open the next, and then open the next and so on.

Is there some way, from BASIC, to display a dialog and leave it open without it 
stopping a script?

Execute() starts a modal mode, so it is not only understandable but also 
required that further *linear* execution of the script stops (handlers 
registered to buttons still we be called).


If you want to have more than one dialog, you have to execute them in a 
modeless way. I don't know if


oSticky.SetVisible(True)

works (I even don't know if UnoDialogs export an XWindow interface), but 
that's how it is done with C++ dialogs.


Besides that you will need to redesign your dialog a bit, modeless 
dialogs usually don't have "OK" or "Cancel" buttons, because they 
directly act on the document when their buttons are operated by the user.


If your dialog logic makes it necessary to have an "OK" button, most 
probably a modal dialog is recommended and no other dialogs (except sub 
dialogs) should be operable while it is visible.

Mathias

i think the time loop keeps the dialog visible  and alows to execute

do a google on "Modal and non Modal dialog in Openoffice" to find more
