Dear List:
I'm embedding OpenOffice in an applet using the OOoBean for this purpose.
When OO displays in the applet, I need that some gadgets be hidden. For
example, I need the menu bar to be hidden. I lookup in the OOoBean code, and
there they use the XLayoutManager interface to hide elements from the OO
display. They use the following code to hide the MenuBar:
xLayoutManager.hideElement( aResourceURL );
where aResourceURL is in the form: "private:resource/menubar/menubar"
consulting the IDL file for XLayoutManager, it saids that the URL must have the
following form:
"private:resource/$type/$name"
it is clear with the example above for the menubar. Where can I find the $type
and $name for other controls??, I need for example to hide the save button from
the main tool bar. Which will be the $type and $name for this button??
Another question will be, Is ok to use the LayoutManager interface for this
purpose? or do I have to use the Configuration service?? Or is there other way
to accomplish this??
By the way, Open Office is a great product, and all its control API is great
stuff too!!
Thank you in advance for your kind reply.
Hi Marco,
The LayoutManager is responsible to show/hide the user interface
elements. Currently the layout manager controls the following user
interface elements:
"toolbar"
"statusbar"
"menubar"
"progressbar"
So it's ok to use the LayoutManager API to show/hide the menu bar.
If you want to hide a certain control which resides on a user interface
element you have to use a different API. That's the purpose of the user
interface configuration manager API. Do you want to make your changes
persistent or not? The solution looks different for persistent and
non-persistent changes.
Regards,
Carsten
