How to make changes to a Dialog persistent

Fernand Vanrie — 2011-12-06T12:07:49

When have made some changes to a Dialog (stored in a Librarie) I trye to 
make this changes persitent for future use.
The secrets are in the methods off the dialog.model
odialog.model.read( ???)
odialog.model.write(???)
found a confusing explaination in the DSK but nullware any examples how 
to use this read-write mechanism to make the changes persitent

Thanks for any hint !

executing a dialog without blocking the program

Gerardo Gómez — 2011-10-27T02:17:45

Is it possible to execute a dialog of UNO-AWT without blocking the program.
for example:

dialog.execute();                                            // execute the
dialog (show the dialog)...
System.out.println("not blocking dialog");         // ...without being
blocked, keep to this line while showing the dialog.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Announcing "BNF4OOo - Managing Backus-Naur-Forms with OpenOffice"

Rony G. Flatscher — 2011-10-24T17:52:01

Hi there,

maybe one of the last announcements, before Oracle shuts down these lists:

A student of WU Vienna, Franz Hohenegger, created a nice BNF-editing/transforming package for his
Diploma Thesis entitled "BNF4OOo - Managing Backus-Naur-Forms with OpenOffice".

Here is what the author says about his package:

    /Author's Abstract (English):/

    "This diploma thesis is about a program named BNF4OOo <http://sourceforge.net/projects/bnf4ooo/>
    which enables the user to manage different supported BNF
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_Form>-dialects and make own customized BNF
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_Form>-dialects as well. These dialects can be
    transferred into character-based syntax diagrams and a XML format closely related to IBM's DITA
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Information_Typing_Architecture>. OpenOffice
    <http://www.OpenOffice.org> is used as a graphical inferface for the transformations. This work
    describes the supported

Re: missing setSelectedItem() method in XComboBox interface

Bernard Marcelly — 2011-10-15T12:44:33

Hi Gerardo,
There are two ways to select an item of a ComboBox.
 From the model of the ComboBox, set the Text property to the value that you 
want to select:
   myControl.Text = "yellow"

 From the view of the control, use the setText() method:
   myControlView.setText("yellow")

Hi *,

seconding Jürgen's heads-up that this list & infrastructure will soon
cease existence, let me also point you to LibreOffice and The Document
Foundation. When the OOo extension site became more and more unstable,
we decided to setup our own extensions and templates repo.

LibreOffice and The Document Foundation is a thriving, active
community with frequent releases - don't miss out on having your
extension tested, developed & published there as well!

Details here:
 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Extensions_Repository

Almost-ready sites:
 http://extensions-test.libreoffice.org/
 http://templates-test.libreoffice.org/

We seek to have developer-related discussions on one list
(libreoffice< at >lists.freedesktop.org), if you're interested in improving
the publishing framework, website+subscribe< at >global.libreoffice.org is
where you want to go.

We're a new project, low on rules, rich on enthusiasm - and lots of
things can still be shaped there. We welcome every contribution.

Cheers,

Hi,

It's probably not news to you, but in case you haven't heard, the
OpenOffice.org project has a new home under the Apache Software Foundation (
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/index.html). And some things are
going different under Apache. We will have only one project - Apache Open
Office - and the number of mailing lists will be limited to only a few (see
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html). There is a
common consensus that we will create new mailing lists with specific topics
if necessary but at the moment we will move forward with only few lists to
concentrate the information flow. From my point of view it's an advantage
compared to the former setup with many projects and many project related
mailing lists.

As the project lead of the API and Extension project i would like to inform
you that this mailing list will go end of life soon (exact date not known
yet) and further discussion on API and Extension specific topics should
happen on the ooo-dev< at >incubator.apache.o

 Well, I know STRING is (it turns blue when I type it).
 But why did it work in my other example? And why did the monitor show
 the right values?

 But I'm sure going to try your suggestion, the one about not using
 those names. Thanks!
 I was originally going to use the original values, like
 ”com.sun.star.sheet.CellFlags.STRING”, but all those long (or broken)

Re: ReDim driving me crazy again…

Stephan Bergmann — 2011-08-18T13:35:02

No, don't know a better list for now.  Most traffic on ooo-dev< at >incubator.apache.org currently is about moving the project, not about using or hacking the project.  In the end, the goal is to resurrect the OOo infrastructure over at Apache, if not as an exact clone then at least in spirit, so it might be a good idea to stick to this list for the moment---even if you sometimes have to write the answers to your questions yourself… ;)

Re: Constant values for Function arguments

Thomas Krumbein — 2011-08-18T11:25:09

Hey Johnny,

honestly, a lot of your questions/things are "basics"...

VALUE, STRING, FORMULA and DATETIME are reserved words in Basic and
cannot be used as constant or variable names. Ever thought about this?

Try to put a character in Front (i.E. nValue, or myString)  and
everything works as expected....

Best regards
Thomas

Johnny Rosenberg — 2011-08-18T10:52:06

Here's another delicate problem that's easy to work around, but still
very strange:

Module 2:
———Code starts below———
REM  *****  BASIC  *****

Option Explicit

Public Const VALUE=1
Public Const STRING=4
Public Const FORMULA=16
Public Const DATETIME=2

Sub HelloWorld
Print "Hello world!"
End Sub
———End of code———


Module1:
———Code starts below———
REM  *****  BASIC  *****

Option Explicit

Sub Main
Dim A
A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA
End Sub
———End of code———
Run Main and you will get an error message at ”A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA”.
If you run step by step (Ctrl+F8 in the BASIC IDE) and stop at that
line and then hover your mouse pointer over VALUE or STRING or
FORMULA, you can clearly see its values, but obviously this doesn't
help. Dimensioning A as Variant, as I did, doesn't help either. If you
look at VALUE, STRING or FORMULA in the variable monitor (or whatever
it's called in English), the window at the bottom left, you can see
that they are Variant/Integer

That is probably a good idea in most cases, but it gives the same
error if the array is defined in another module (I just tried it in my
example).
I have worked around it now in my project (I found that I could just
move the initial definition to the same module where the ReDim
statement is, which works for this project but not in all cases), but
I still want to know if this is a bug or not, so I can report it if it
is.
