Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I already started exploring Python-UNO
bridge and made some progress.
(http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html)
A python script connects to my running OOo, this is great because now
I don't have to startup and wait for OOo after every marco execution.
I can execute this Python script from Smalltalk.
My first question is solved now. But how to invoke my OOs macro's
(written in Basic, included in OOo) from within this Python script?
>1. How to run ooffice as a service on Debian Linux?
>2. And how to execute macro's with this service?
Note: I'm a complete new to OOo and python.
Thanks in advance,
Mathieu
ps. working python program so far:
# get the uno component context from the PyUNO runtime
localContext = uno.getComponentContext()
# create the UnoUrlResolver
resolver = localContext.ServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(
"com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver",
localContext )
# connect to the running office
ctx = resolver.resolve(
"uno:socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext"
)
smgr = ctx.ServiceManager
# get the central desktop object
desktop = smgr.createInstanceWithContext( "com.sun.star.frame.Desktop",ctx)
