Oh, what a productive thread this is. So let me show that I'm with you. StarBasic "ThisComponent" refers to the currently active document (not counting the IDE) if called from a public container. If the Basic code is saved in a document's container, then ThisComponent refers to the document where the code is saved in.
Open a Writer and a Calc document. Save the following macro in each one: Sub Main print thisComponent.CurrentController.getImplementationName() End Sub No matter which document is the active one, Tools>Macros>Run... always reports "SwXTextView" for Writer-code and "ScTabViewObj" for Calc-code. When called from the IDE it does not matter which one of the two controllers have been active before. The same macro saved in public container "MyMacros" reports the type of the currently active controller (or the previously active controller if called from IDE). So "ThisComponent", saved in a form/report, can refer to the Writer document while "ThisComponent", saved in the container of the Base document, can refer to that document without any conflicts.
