Hi Dietmar,
...You can use the complex toolbar controller feature with BASIC. ...
I am at my wits' end.
My understanding up to now is: I have the configuration file
"ProtocolHandler.xcu" where I define a handler that is passing to me
events defined in the URL of my toolbar elements.
What you have to do in the node "HandlerSet" of the ProtocolHandler
configuration in your add-on is declare the class with the
*implementation of the XDispatchProvider*, that is your *UNO component*
that will be instantiated by the dispatch framework when the user
pressed a btn. on a toolbar with a command url containing a protocol
registered by your impl.
Read the first lines in the Dev's Guide:
"The protocol handler mechanism is an API that enables programmers to
add arbitrary URL schemas to the existing set of command URLs by writing
additional protocol handlers for them. Such a protocol handler must be
implemented as a UNO component and registered in the OpenOffice.org
configuration for the new URL schema."
I repeat "Such a protocol handler *must be* implemented as a UNO
component": that is IMPOSSIBLE in OOo Basic. You can not implement UNO
components in that language, sorry :-( nor a protocol handler, an
XToolbarController, etc.
I really see no way for you to do what you want. But here is people with
more OOo Basic knowledge (for example Andrew Pitonyak, and Paolo
Mantovani; Paolo has done some things that were taken for granted to be
impossible for OOoBasic).
Now I just need to
create an initializer
you need an UNO component implementing XDispatchProvider:
"A protocol handler implementation must follow the service definition
com.sun.star.frame.ProtocolHandler. At least the interface
com.sun.star.frame.XDispatchProvider must be supported"
and a listener to catch these events. Here I am
stuck, I admit I am not deep enough into the heart of UNO to understand
the online SDK sufficiently to know what to do in BASIC now. The example
is of course object oriented and without knowing the objects in detail
it is tough to understand.
So here is the deal I want to offer. Someone please take me by the hand
to find my way (I already googled, obviously I am the first) and I will
write a comprehensive code snippet or wiki (your choice) for followers
in BASIC and support them through the forums.
Next steps would be: how to create the initializer and then listen to
the events.
Anyway using C++ or Java would give you much more flexibility.
provided that this winter will be as awful as it's promising right now,
I intend to learn C++ - not for OOo though. It will be the 11th
programming language for me after having started in 1980 with COBOL...
If you have one month free, I will suggest you to start with Java
(despite the unjustified prejudices). You will find that working with
the NetBeans IDE, you can create your addon schema with a wizard!
Besides, compiling UNO Java vs. compiling UNO C++? here wins
Java/NetBeans IDE plug-in. Even without the plugin, building the SDK
Java examples is easier (I'm having a headache trying to get the C++
examples compiled!!!).
Bye and luck!
Ariel.
