Hello people,
I think this an issue (may be "type:defect, component: api,
subcomponent: code [IDL source files]/ documentation [Dev's Guide
20.5.2.28]"):
as I said on a mail in extensions-dev
[http://extensions.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=897],
there are three service names you can use to implement an XFilePicker or
an XFolderPicker:
XFilePicker:
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.OfficeFilePicker
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.SystemFilePicker
XFolderPicker:
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FolderPicker
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.OfficeFolderPicker
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.SystemFolderPicker
the difference is explained there on the mail (but just covering the
XFilePicker implementation asked by the developer).
I discovered this by "crash" and error ("crash" because Linux builds,
made by distros, NOT by OOo, often broke my FilePickers implementations),
and by querying the SericeManager [1] every once in a while.
Neither the API reference
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/ui/dialogs/FilePicker.html
nor the new chapter of the Developer's Guide
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/GUI/GUI.xhtml#1_5_2_28_File_Picker
tell us about them.
Making this services public to everyone on the API reference (that's the
first place where a developer looks(or should look) for answers [2]),
could help to prevent headaches to developers.
Thanks,
Ariel.
[1] Very simple:
public static void main(String[] args){
XMultiComponentFactory xMCF = null;
XComponentContext xContext;
try {
xContext = Bootstrap.bootstrap();
xMCF = xContext.getServiceManager();
String[] servicesNames = xMCF.getAvailableServiceNames();
java.util.Arrays.sort(servicesNames);
for (String name : servicesNames) {
System.out.println(name);
}
} catch (BootstrapException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
System.exit(0);
}
}
[2] Although
* the service names can be found searching OOo website
[for example
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=20474]
* and there is even an issue
[http://api.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=81581] reported by an
OOo Basic programmer about the OfficeFilePicker,
* and of course everyone in this mailing list may know about them,
there is still a lack of "official" documentation in the API reference
and the Dev's Guide.
