(So much for theory.) Out of curiosity, do you have a quick summary of what made it fail for you? -Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is only a min version, see http://udk.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=featuresmsgNo=40. The rationale for not having a max version is that OOo's UNO interface should generally be backward compatible. -Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] external application getting OOo version number
Hi I'd like to know what is the easiest way for an external application (say, an ebuild binary) to find out OOo's version number (e.g. 2.0.2). the information is stored in the ooo/share/registry/.../Setup.xcu file (Node Product/ooSetupVersion) here is a macro i usualy use from inside OOo HTH Laurent '- function RecupereVersionOOO() as string 'recupère version de OOo Dim aSettings, aConfigProvider Dim aParams2(0) As new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue aConfigProvider = createUnoService( com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider ) aParams2(0).Name = nodepath aParams2(0).Value = /org.openoffice.Setup/Product aSettings = aConfigProvider.createInstanceWithArguments( com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationAccess, aParams2() ) RecupereVersionOOO=aSettings.getbyname(ooSetupVersion) end function -- 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]

You cannot tell whehter it is 2.0.1 or 2.0.4, and you won't be able to tell whether it is 2.2.0 or 2.2.1 ciao Chrisitan -- NP: Pantera - Hollow - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [api-dev] external application getting OOo version number
Hi The thread/subject 'How to get the Version?' has a way that a java client that has a hook to OO can do this. Previous posts on other similar threads have discussed how OO Basic can do the same.
