Hi!
I am working on an extension in Java that needs a docking window. I've
found here an older thread
http://markmail.org/message/lx2zor3pqido2vwd#query:I%27m%20trying%20to%20create%20a%20docking%20window%20inside%20OpenOffice+page:1+mid:7s5omkyh3oqawgry+state:results
Can someone give me details about when the docking windows will be available
? I need to add a Tree Control and some simple buttons. Can I use a toolbar
for this? Is there any other alternative ? Please help me with some tips.
Hi Christina,
Sorry for the late answer. Unfortunately there is no way for an
extension developer to use a docking window. The framework team is
working on a solution which also supports extensions. Currently you have
to write your docking window code inside the OOo source code and in C++.
Hopefully we have a solution available for OOo 3.3 but I cannot promise.
A tree control can theoretically be used in toolbars but this wouldn't
make sense due to the restricted size of docked toolbars. The only
solution I have in mind is to drop the docking support and try to use
floating windows, e.g. your own Java window or via UNO dialogs.
Regards,
Carsten
