Thanks Tom,
I've just spent some time looking htrough Andrew Pitonyak's macro guide.
It helps a little but there doesn't seem to be any direct documentation of
hte functions. What I'm looking at is the second line reproduced below:
oVC = ThisComponent.CurrentController.ViewCursor
oText.insertTextContent(oVC.Start, oAnno, False)
Matt,
I don't use Writer much and honestly I'm not sure what you expect to
see. Try this. In the above two lines change Start to End and False to
True and put those two lines right under your "rem I don't know what to
put in here" line. Then select some text and run the macro.

I think oVC.Start needs to be replaced with something else, but I can't
figure out what. All of Andrew's examples with insertTextContent insert
the content at a single location, not at a text range, so maybe I need a
different function. If someone knows another method I'd appreciate the
advice.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi :)
The best documentation is at;
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
and the most recent full books are also on the official LibreOffice
website.
For macros i think the best book by far is Andrew Pitonyak's guide on
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Other_Documentation_and_Resources#Programmers
I'm not sure they will help for this specific use-case but they might help
generally.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,
I am trying to add a really simple macro that I can bind to a key. I just
want ot be able ot add checkmarks to student papers veyr quickly, so I
would like to select a sentence or other text range, then press a key, and
have the ckeckmark appear in a new comment.
I can almost do htis, using code stolen from the web:
rem-------------------------------------------
rem -- misleadingly named macro adds a simple hceckmark at point, or in
response to highlighted text.
sub createComment
rem create the annotation object
oAnno =
ThisComponent.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.textfield.Annotation")
rem Chr 10004 is the decimal for hex code 2714, "heavy checkmark"
oAnno.Content = Chr(10004)
oAnno.Author = "Matt Price"
oText = ThisComponent.Text
rem check to see if anything is selected
oSels = ThisComponent.getCurrentSelection()
If Not IsNull(oSels) Then
rem I don't know what to put in here
Else
oVC = ThisComponent.CurrentController.ViewCursor
oText.insertTextContent(oVC.Start, oAnno, False)
End If
end sub
-----------------------
You can see that, if there's no selection, I already know how to insert
the
annotation. But I don't know how to attach the annotation to the selected
range instead of just the start of the cursor.
In general, I don't know where to find the funciton references or even the
source code for the relevant functions. I'm finding it quite difficult to
figure out how to learn to program -- is there comprehensive documentation
somewhere?
Thanks,
Matt
