appreciated.
This problems seems to be the same with OpenOffice 3.1 as it is for 3.3.
I have tried openoffice running on my old OpenSolaris install which seems to
export at 96 DPI regardless of the DPI or SIZE setting, and on my openoffice
3.3 install with OS X, I get 110 DPI with the same code?
I think the problem is that a java long is 64 bit, try replace it with
an int that should work.

Hi,
Happy New Year to all of you, and the best for 2011 ! :-)
I'm currently working on integrate a nice and existing C++ extension,
but directly in the code, means at buildtime. To summarize, if I
integrate the lib (written in C++) in the scp2 .. and so on system,
there is no problem at all, the packaging is ok and it works fine in the
install set.
In fact, everything works fine, but the icons are not seen, because
simply not found :-/
To explain more, the first point is, after tracing a bit, that the
NormalFileName property is used to retrieve the right bitmap (please
correct me if I'm wrong). As example, looking at the original name, we
have (in the .xcu) :
node oor:name=Background
prop oor:name=NormalFileName
valuebitmaps/Background.png/value
/prop
And in the extension, it appears that the relative path is used, means
the library is in :
extension/random_name/libThing.${DLL_EXTENSION}
... while the .png are in :
extension/random_name/bitmaps/*.png
This happens to work ok, of course. Am I correct to suppose that the
relative path is used, or did I miss something ?
My tries now : using the other existing .xcu as example and trying to
respect the schema ( .xcs file), I did the what follows:
node oor:name=Background
prop oor:name=NormalFileName
value$(insturl)/share/config/bitmaps/Background.png/value
/prop
... and so on
It does not work, but the idea is
1) put the library using those icons in $(insturl)/program (like all the
other libs in fact ...)
2) use the path above to retrieve the icons.
I must say I tested absolute and relative paths, without success.
For example :
valuexlink:href=$(insturl)/share/config/bitmaps/Background.png/value
or :
valuexlink:href=../share/config/bitmaps/Background.png/value
Last, the documentation I have read is :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Checklist_for_Writing_Extensions
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Example
+ a lot of .xcs / .xcu shipped in the OOO3.2.1 code base
Feel free to ask me if I forgot some information, and thanks in advance
for any help :-)

Stopping people from chang[ing] something in the code which causes an assertion to fire (in other words: stopping people from introducing programming errors) would be great, no? What am I missing? Let me re explain it :-) I compared warning free code which breaks the build to assertions which schould not break the build. If you change code at one place, you may cause a compiler warning at another place. This is easy to catch if you do a complete build so chances are high you will not introduce build breaker in the master. If this would not be the case, release eng. would disable warning free code rather sooner than later since the get tired to fix other peoples build breakers. If you change code at one place, you may cause an assertion to trigger at another place. But unlike compiler warnings there is no way to check the complete office for assertion automaticly. Therefore assertions will pop up in the master and annoy others, causing sooner or later that all people use only pro again. FAIL. Therefore assertions will and do pop up in the master. which is no problem if they get fixed in time. If there is a milestone that has to many assertions, you can already redirect them in a window (right after you wrote the author of that assertion a P1 issue). If this is still not understandable, I will draw you a flow chart on monday at your office :-) Before anyone argue, yes you can introduce compiler warnings on other plattforms. Since at least most sun developers do 3-4 plattforms on each cws before they give them to QA, this is a minor issue.

If we make the office crash in non pro than there will be never a chance to get the qa to work on non pro again. By the way as said earlier, qa used to look at non pro all the time for years. Then at some point in time the vcl based auto tests got so slow on non pro, the qa stoped using non pro. Also, an assertion that aborts hinders my work with the office as long as the assertion is not fixed. One abort assertion in writer with 100 people working on the writer causes one to fix the issue and 99 to idle until he has finished and commited the fix. If you like your assertions to abort, you can press the cancel button. I remember times before we introduced cws handling where we had developer masters which would not be usable because of crashes. I'm not eager to go back to those times. Also again, assertions are good to have, if an assertion fires, thats bad. And not only if this assertion is implemented by Frank or me. If you have a function that accepts integer values from 0 to 100 as a parameter and you get a -1, thats an assertion, not a trace! If your function is a real time killer if the caller does not sort the array he gives you beforehand, thats an assertion, not a trace!

But at the same time they want - Their shapes in calc behave exactly the same as shapes in impress - Their formulas in writer behave exactly the same as formulas in calc - Their text in impress behave exactly the same way as text in writer So the common feature set of all applications from my personal experience is already most of the functionality there is.

Does anyone have any hint for this in OOo? Because in Powerpoint it works OK for us. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Changing a modal dialog to a non modal one is more than just moving the controls to another window, trust me. This can be read as please stop what you are doing, now ;-) I don't think so. IMHO we just need some coordination. I didn't read Christian's statement as a plea to do everything in one step, as I understood he just opted for agreeing on the general goal. We won't redesign and rewrite all existing dialogs into non-modal panes at once. But it would be good and nice to actually start now with some of them. As an example, I would like to convert all Format-whatever dialogs into parts of a formatting pane. In fact we are currently discussing ways to implement that with the developers from RedFlag2000. And we will need the layouter for this. (*) A concern is that the great is made the enemy of great and the bar for initial entry of the much-needed new layouting ability is made dependant on an extended set of requirements that pushes it further into the future. We're talking about widget layout for many years and this is the closest we've seen to date. Just getting it *in* without disrupting existing dialogs seems the vital bit. No one wants to interrupt it, not even me even if some people read it that way. As I initially stated, what Jan is doing is a step in the right direction. But as we learn that even try to discuss what to do next is nailed down, from one side or the other. If you are the bad guy no matter what you say I will just shut up now and do some work. Its just no fun anymore Christian. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Jan, I like what you do, please go on.

Everyone interesting in user interface work for OOo should have a look at it. Thanks! If you read it carefully, you will have noticed that I just did some polishing up till now, most of the job was done by Ricardo Cruz and Michael Meeks. I just have one minor RFE. You try to mimic the original dialog designs as best as possible to have a proof of concept that your layouting can replace existing OOo dialogs with ease. Thanks, yes, for simple dialogs we already can. I think you proofed your concept and we should start focusing on how to improve the dialogs. And one thing I would love to see is that the common dialog control buttons (ok, cancel, help, previous, next, etc. ) are not part of the layout. Yes, that's actually quite high on the TODO list. The current idea is to have a special kind of HBOX that will do the rearanging and layouting of any Cancel/OK/Help buttons contained in it. So the layout information should only be given for the controls that form the client area of the dialog. But the control buttons should just be marked as i'm used! and the LayoutDialog should decide where to place them. Yes, that's the idea. And while I think your minimal way to layout existing dialogs is very good, when do you think is a good time to discuss how new dialogs should be implemented using your LayoutDialog? I think we'll need Michael in this discussion: Michael, what do you think? Please keep up your good work, but don't waste to much time making the layouted dialogs look like the ugly original dialogs :) Thanks. As a matter of fact, I suspended most of my layout work now to resync, update qa the prerequisite awtfixes1 cws.

Re: [dev] About fontwork gallery
Hi Kami, if you do not use AVOID_BURN_IN_FOR_GALLERY_THEME then all formating properties on the shape in the gallery are hard set. The disadvantage is that such shapes will not work any longer with styles as all formating properties are overridden at the shape itself. When creating gallery themes one should think about which formating properties must be set hard and which should be come from the styles. Therefore AVOID_BURN_IN_FOR_GALLERY_THEME is advised if you plan to share your theme with others. Regards, Christian KAMI wrote: Hi Christian!

Re: [dev] About fontwork gallery
After the styles are burned in the shape they can only be removed with the 'Format-Default' menu entry on an inserted shape. But then all formatings are set to default. So its hard to do that afterwards. It is not really an error so I think it is ok to just use it for newly created themes. I don't think we have a script yet and gallery should be reworked to use xml format sooner or later anyway. I just don't know who will do that yet.

Re: [dev] About fontwork gallery
Hi Xiuzhi, since your mail does not contain any question I can't answer much. Have you tried using the environment variables? Do you know how to use them? To repeat the basic idea behind this, the fontwork shapes you see in the fontwork gallery are take from a hidden theme from the office gallery. You can see and edit this hidden theme when you start the office in an environment where GALLERY_SHOW_HIDDEN_THEMES is defined. Then you can drag all shapes back into an empty document, modify them and drag them back. Now the gallery files (sg36.sdg,sg36.sdv,sg36.thm) are updated by the office itself.

Re: [dev] About fontwork gallery
xiuzhi--CH2000 wrote: Hi Christian, My question is How I can modify the fontwork gallery default text, Fontwork, to another default text? As I told you in my last mail. Use the environment variables to make the hidden themes visible. Drag all shapes from the fontwork theme to an empty document. Change the text on all shapes. Delete all shapes from the fontwork theme and drag the changed shapes from the document back to the theme. Close the office and you have updated gallery binary files. Another question is how to add a theme as a object on gallery dialog? That is, after I select a theme on the gallery left side,a sub theme will appear in the right gallery frame just like a object.then when I click the subtheme,the objects of subtheme will appear. how can I do this? Do you want to add that feature to the office gallery or to the fontwork gallery dialog? In both cases you would have to change the implementations to support that feature. Implementation for the office gallery is in svx/source/gallery, implementation for the fontwork gallery dialog is in svx/source/gallery/fontwork. Please do not get confused here. The office gallery is different to the fontwork dialog where you can choose the fontwork layouts. The fontwork dialog is also called fontwork gallery but it is not the same as the office gallery. To make this more complicate, the fontwork dialog uses the office gallery to store the fontwork layouts. But you don't see them in the office gallery as it is a hidden theme.

Re: [dev] Working with the Invisible-mode
Hi Fabian, do not use the -swriter option and create your own writer document with loadComponentFromURL and the factory URL for new empty writer documents private:factory/swriter. in basci you would do oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL(private:factory/swriter, _blank, 0, Array()) I bet there is a way to enumerate open documents in the framework but at least the above method should solve your problem.

Re: [dev] Play slideshow without User Input
Hi Andy, in impress, each slide in the API supports the com::sun::star::animations::XAnimationNodeSupplier interface which returns you the time line for that slide. Just browse through that container hierarchic of the animation nodes and change the begin attribute from all note that have a begin of Timing::INDEFINITE to 0.0 (see com::sun::star::animations::XAnimationNode ) Regards, Christian Andy Cordwell wrote: I'd like to write a application that opens a PowerPoint presentation and plays it to the end, all without user intervention. I've written a Java program (based on the PresentationDemo sample - see below) that: Opens the presentation For each page, sets the Change = 1 and Duration = 5 Sets IsAutomatic = False in the Presentation property set. Together with above displays each page for 5 seconds then moves on. Starts the presentation. However, this will stop as soon as the first animated shape is encounter and waits for user input before animating and proceeding (which is unacceptable for my application since there will be no user input). Explicitly disabling the Animations Allowed property (both in the UI and from code) doesn't appear to do anything - the presentation still waits for user click before proceeding. Have I misunderstood what this feature will do? One possible solution is to set Custom Animation ~ Effect ~ Start = After Previous and set the Effect Options ~ Timing ~ Delay = a few seconds, applying these settings to each relevant animated shape. Unfortunately, I can't find a way of doing this through the API. Is this method supported through the Java / C++ API? Are there any other suggestions to accomplish hands off playing? I'm currently using Java for prototyping, and will rewrite in C++ once complete. Running version 2.0.2 under FedoraCore4.
