Re: [dev] OO 2.1 with jre 1.6 - xml validation problem
Hi Oliver, in your previous post, you didn't mention where your Java classes came from (imports and so on), either you do use the Java API (xml modules) or the OOo API for processing XML. Everytime you're dealing with xml, you're encouraged to use the JAXP standard to be in some case independent of the underlying parser software. Xerces is one of the popular parsers out there. I believe you're having troubles, because you don't check which parser is used, thus one might provide more features than another. Then Xerces 2.6.2 is an old version; I think it does not work correctly for JAXP 1.3 which is the specification version from Java 5.0 (1.5) on, it relies on JAXP 1.2 . 2006/12/19, Oliver Brinzing [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, now i know whats going wrong: another extension (which i did not develop) deploys a xerces-2.6.2.jar. if i remove the extension (or only the *.jar), from uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\xx.tmp...\ it works ... but is this behaviour correct ? it seems the above mentioned *.jar overwrites the classpath for all other extensions ...

Re: [dev] Problems with listeners in text document / SWriter crash
I just tested a bit with the SelectionChangeListener, but cannot confirm a crash upon opening up FilePrintPreview. In your case it is very likely due to some IO processing you're doing (in wrong manner or at a wrong time). So in order to see what is giving you problems, it would be nice to catch a glimpse at the relevant code portion(s). 2006/6/7, Sascha Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: hi , currently i develope a reporting system. As Template-Editor for my Report-Templates I use swriter, which is embedded in my application window. References to items are inserted by dragging items from a tree onto the document view using an XDropTargetListener which is installed into some XWindow's. So far everything works fine, but there are some situations where my installed handler causes trouble. If I insert a TextFrame into an empty text document (via. Insert-TextFrame) and in the next step a Table into the TextFrame, swriter crashes. The last document events i get are OnCopyTo and OnCopyToDone, which i only get if OOo crashes (maybe this is just for recovery?). Furthermore i get an com::sun::star::io::IOException. This only happens if my XDropTargetListener is installed. It works if there are at least two paragraphs (may be empty) in the TextFrame and the table is inserted between them. Another problem occurs if i install an XSelectionChangeListener for the document. Swriter crashes if i choose File-PrintPreview. Here too i get an com::sun::star::io::IOException. Has anybody a hint what may be the cause for this? Or should i remove those handlers if certain commands are executed?

Re: [dev] Error: no office executable found!
Hi Jürgen, 2006/2/7, Jürgen Schmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The secure way is that you start your OOo server manually and connect to it via TCP/IP and the specified socket. It is recommended to use this way if you want to develop something serious. sorry but that is wrong, the simple bootstrap mechanism is serious even if it has some problems on systems where special scripts are used around the normal binaries or default scripts. we could debate here about what is serious and what not, however I didn't talk about the SimpleBootstrap mechanism being not serious, I said it would be better to set things up manually when you're developing something 'serious' (== more secure, more control etc.). Besides the problems there could be on some systems, it also has limitations. For example you cannot hook up to a remote-machine OOo. Thus if you're dealing with servers and you write code on a client machine, you can only go by TCP/IP to connect to the Office (named pipes work only on the same machine). -- Best Regards Christian Junker - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [dev] How to bring OpenOffice window to front
You might wanna look at the source code implementation of the IsAlwaysOnTop property of the css::presentation::Presentation service because I think it goes down to using the Win API on Win32. No guarantees whatsoever about whether it really does, because I have not taken looks, I just conclude from its behavior I have experienced in some situations. But yes as already said, I don't think there is a nice way and actually in the OOo API there is no way as far as I know.

FileGuard fg(fp); // will close file in destructor

Re: [dev] starbasic variables and type declarations
Hi Sven, you misunderstand some things. For example the Dim foo as new ... is the prefered syntax for declaring foo to be of a certain struct type, and *only* of UNO struct types. The object as identified in the IDL with the name of com.sun.star.text.TextField is a service, that can only be constructed during runtime by asking the XMultiServiceFactory of the document model to create it for you. example: code Sub Main Dim otxtfield as Variant odoc = thisComponent 'currently active document otxtfield = odoc.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.TextField) End Sub /code Note that I declared otxtfield of type Variant, not of type Object because there are some rare situations where it would fail declaring a variable of type Object. As about your question - assigning a known control object to a variable can easily be done declaring the variable of type Variant before, or to not declare it at all. Others reading your code will recognize what type a variable has by just looking at the variable name (otxtfield is very clear to me). All of this is documented in the Developer's Guide by the way. So have a look at http://api.openoffice.org or download the SDK which has new objects - presented in 2.0 beta - listed and to some extent documented in its IDL reference. 2005/8/29, Victoria, Sven [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, I would like to declare a control variable (reference) in StarBasic and assign an existing control to it from an existing dialog like: Dim textField As com.sun.star.text.TextField textField = dialog.getControl(txtKlantNr) Hoewever the error I get here is: unknown data type com.sun.star.text.TextField and the code won't run. Declaring with 'as new' like: Dim textField As new com.sun.star.text.TextField generates the following error: Object not accessible.

Declaring the object as Object will give me no errors but I do not want to declare it as an Object since I know for sure it is a com.sun.star.text.TextField.

In order to fix this, you need to download one of the snapshot cygwin1.dlls on http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ or to downgrade cygwin which means more work than just copying a single dll. 2005/8/15, Volker Quetschke [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Michael Thomsen wrote: I've completed building m123 from CVS, but makecab has hung up during the installer creation.

Re: [dev] Basic Libraries and security
See http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=6910 , might be of use. 2005/8/12, Peter Eberlein [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, is there a way to move the standard library from the userprofile to the shared folder? The reason (please correct me, if I'm wrong): I've written some global macros as calc functions, and calc functions must be located in the standard library. But I want to encrypt the code or make it readonly. Is there a way to do so?

Re: [dev] Macro Security for Embedded Database Forms
I am not very sure, but I think there is some standard out there restricting macros in office documents to be executed without asking the user if he gives the permission or not. At least that's what I heard some time ago. 2005/7/26, Andrew Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: When I attach a macro module to an embedded database form there seems to be no way to tell the macro security function to allow the form to be opened without asking if I should 'enable' or 'disable' the macros. Well, there is one way set the macro security option to 'LOW' and this is not an acceptable thing to me. It would seem to me that the security component should honor the entry under Trusted file locations for the database file. But it seems not to be doing this. If this should be entered as an Issue I will do so but would this be a defect or an enhancement?

Re: [dev] How to keep users away from Base
Hi Matthias, there are some new API features available in 2.0 and one of them would certainly be of great benefit to you: programmatic GUI-control, meaning full control over menu items and toolbars. Recently there were some talks on [EMAIL PROTECTED] about those new things, as you can check when searching through the archives. Currently the api project webpage does not reflect oo 2.0 beta status, thus you need to get the newest sdk available to read yourself through provided documentation on that area, I believe the newest sdk is m113 right now. The ones of interest for you would be css::ui::XUIConfigurationManagerSupplier and related objects, as well as css::frame::XLaoutManager . In principal you could easily disable, hide or delete certain menu entries or toolbar icons, thus giving the user no way to easily open up a new database document for example. And if you don't want to go this way, there is even the chance of registering your own component integrating a DispatchInterceptor which actually can receive every single ui dispatch possible, which would give you even more control about what happens when a user clicks this or that button (dispatch slot ids can be found on http://api.openoffice.org). Let me know if you need some start, I have got some examples of code in Starbasic. 2005/7/20, Matthias Benkmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hallo Frank, For now, this basically only implies that the New database entries are removed from various places, including the ones you mentioned. Additionally, the data source browser (F4) is removed, I've just tested m118 without Base and I like the feature set. I especially like the reduced Base dialog that allows the user to edit existing databases and to use existing queries but does not allow saving to another file, creating new tables or queries etc. From the POV of our policy this seems even more useful than having no Base UI at all, because that way users can still work with existing databases provided by the admin but can not create their own. I also like that the Mail Merge wizard still exists and the Insert/Fields/Other.../Database tab still works. and you cannot open DB files from the File|Open dialog. See [1] for details. Well, in m118 you can open them with File/Open, but there's not filter for odb files, you have to use All Files. If you only want to remove the menu entries, but not the DSB - Hmm. Not sure if this is possible, other people might know more about it. In m118 the DSB can still be invoked programmtically with the code you helped me write recently. So we can provide our own macro and button to open it and it's not really a problem that it's gone. Removing things like the database registration (Tools|Options|Databases) is not possible ATM. That was just an idea. As long as users are more or less prevented from creating their own databases, it doesn't hurt if they have UI to register them. And maybe there's a way to disable the Base GUI completely? None except disabling it in the setup, with exactly the consequences described in [1]. As I've said above, I believe that the reduced Base GUI from m118 is even better than no GUI. Any other ideas how I can make life more difficult for users who want to use the Base GUI? One could manually de-register certain UNO services, so that certain functionality becomes unavailable. How do I do that? This could include at least all services which are necessary for the UI. If the above doesn't fit your needs, this would be the way to go. Well it looks like the way implemented in m118 would be enough to solve my problem, although I will have to discuss this with my superiors before I can be sure. The thing I'm worrying about is how stable the m118 feature set is. Reading [1] gives me the impression that it is not stable, that disabling Base at installation time will remove more functionality in future. And if for instance the Mail Merge Wizard disappears completely or registering databases via UNO stops working, then installing without Base will no longer be an option for us and we'll be in the same fix as we're now, only worse, because by that time we'll probably have established a policy that mandates disabling Base at install time, that would have to be overturned (which is difficult). To make this more clear, it won't be a problem for us if there remains a set of install options to get back the m118 feature set, but if OO.o 2.0 Final ships with only the option to enable or disable Base completely and disabling removes a crucial feature, then we'll be in big trouble if we establish a policy now based on the m118 feature set.
