While translating FirstLoadComponent.java to Python I've encountered problems with this one line of code:
System.out.println(elemType.getTypeName()); 1. The method getTypeName() is not listed in the index of the "IDL Reference" documentation. 2. The output from the unohelper.inspect() function on the elemType object indicates that there is a "getName()" method and a "Name" attribute but neither of these work either. Kim Here's a short program to illustrate the problems: # # Translated to python from "FirstLoadComponent.java" by Kim Kulak # import sys import traceback import uno from com.sun.star.uno import Exception as UnoException class FirstLoadComponent: def main(args): try: localContext = uno.getComponentContext() resolver = localContext.ServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver",localContext) xRemoteContext = resolver.resolve("uno:socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext") print "Connected to a running office ..." xRemoteServiceManager = xRemoteContext.getServiceManager() xComponentLoader = xRemoteServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop",xRemoteContext) loadProps = () xSpreadsheetDocument = xComponentLoader.loadComponentFromURL("private:factory/scalc", "_blank", 0, loadProps); xSpreadsheets = xSpreadsheetDocument.getSheets() elemType = xSpreadsheets.getElementType() inspect(elemType,"elemType") try: print "\nelemType.getElementType()",elemType.getElementType() except Exception,e: print "Caught exception" traceback.print_exc() try: print "\nelemType.getName()",elemType.getName() except Exception,e: print "Caught exception" traceback.print_exc() try: print "\nelemType.Name",elemType.Name except Exception,e: print "Caught exception" traceback.print_exc() except UnoException,e: traceback.print_exc() sys.exit(1) sys.exit(0) main = staticmethod(main) def inspect(obj,name): import unohelper of = file(name+".inspect","w") of.write("Inspect variable '%s'\n"%(name,)) of.write("Type of %s is %s\n"%(name,type(obj))) unohelper.inspect(obj,of) of.close() return if __name__ == '__main__': FirstLoadComponent.main(sys.argv) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
