Hi people, FIRST of all, I would like to thank the one who wrote the code of the GUI examples on the new SDK (OpenOffice.org_2.3_SDK/examples/DevelopersGuide/GUI): it answers some questions I had for a long time! Thanks hr (I don't know your real name!)!
THEN, some questions about the code examples: **************************************************************************** * FIRST QUESTION: On the API reference, I always founded the XMenu and XPopupMenu interfaces (and related ones), but as there is no service specification at all, I just didn't know how to instantiate this interfaces. Well, now I've learn that the services names used in the examples are "stardiv.Toolkit.VCLXMenuBar" and "stardiv.Toolkit.VCLXPopupMenu" At first sight, they look like the implementation names you use internally, but not like service names published as UNO services, I mean, com.sun.star.awt.MenuBar, and com.sun.star.awt.PopupMenu But to my surprise, I used XComponentContext::getServiceManager() to get the XMultiComponentFactory, then used its method getAvailableServiceNames() and got a sequence that DOES contain these service names: "com.sun.star.awt.MenuBar" "com.sun.star.awt.PopupMenu" "stardiv.vcl.MenuBar" "stardiv.vcl.PopupMenu" And we can use any of the names: 1. "com.sun.star.awt.PopupMenu" 2. "stardiv.vcl.PopupMenu" 3. "stardiv.Toolkit.VCLXPopupMenu" as they instantiate the same type. And again to my surprise, "com.sun.star.awt.MenuBar" and "com.sun.star.awt.PopupMenu" are not included on OOo2.3 SDK API reference, nor in the source/offapi/com/sun/star/awt IDL files. So, are they going to be included in the API? Is it safe to use them? What service name shall we use, out of the tree options? Since which OOo version can they be used? ********************************************************************* * SECOND QUESTION: the excellent example uses a fixed text control to execute the PopupMenu. I played with an implementation of the dbaccess SQL Direct dialog: I wanted to add a pop up menu to the edit control to insert SQL templates in it (just like OOo Math commands window's context menu). You can find a picture of the result here: http://www.arielconstenlahaile.com.ar/ooo/temp/DBExtras_XSQLDirect_04.png But I found some problems: when I right click on the edit control window, my implementation of the XMouseListener isn't call first, but the edit control own implementation, and it consumes the event, executing its context menu (the "Paste/Select all/Special chars". one), and my XMouseListener implementation gets called just if I right clik on that context menu. The problem here: FIRST the context menu of the edit control is executed, THEN my pop up menu IF I right click on this context menu. What I really need here is an XContextMenuInterceptor, but how do I get the XContextMenuInterception for the edit control when it has no com.sun.star.frame.Controller ? (as long as I know, UnoControls implement the Model-View Paradigm, NOT the Frame-Controller-Model Paradigm) The example on the SDK works OK, because the fixed text implementation has no context menu, but how do I intercept the context menu of UnoControls? Is it possible at all? (I mean, using API, not hacking OOo's C++ code). **************************************************************************** Well, that's all! Sorry for the extension, but maybe someone gets something useful from this!
