------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Oct 31 19:54:18 +0000 2008 ------- OOo 3.0 Basic Help says for GetGuiType Function: "This runtime function is only provided for downward compatibility to previous versions. The return value is not defined in client-server environments." However, this function is needed, specially for Shell Function calls: My extension, http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/odt2pml, calls through the Shell Function an external Windows program. Running under Linux, the call must include "Wine" in first place and the program as parameter; under Windows the program must be called directly. The only way I found to implement this is with GetGuiType. I'd like to ask that this function be maintained in future OOo versions. Or else, what replacement is/will be available? BTW, I have no experience with client-server environments. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
