Hello Ariel,
I have one more question. I think it last question.
Now I know how to operate with toolbar items. But I need to know how to
hide or show some toolbar and then save it in document storage.
do you want to save the visibility state inside the document?
AFAIK this isn't possible.
I'm just an API client, so the following is just "guessing" (Carsten Diesner
usually reads this mailing list, sure the mail subject catches his attention;
he could give you a better advice, as he developed the code).
* as far as I could see, the window state configuration is stored globally;
even if the doc has its own UI elements, as long as they are persistent, their
window state is stored globally, per module
Hi Ariel and Alexander,
The visibility state cannot be stored in the document. This was a design
decision by the UX team several years ago. The visibility state should
always follow the user settings. That means if the user sets a toolbar
to invisible it's a violation of user experience to make it visible again.
Sub Hide_Standard_Toolbar()
Dim oDoc As Object
Dim oFrame
Dim element
Dim layoutmanager
oDoc = ThisComponent
Dim oUIConfigurationManager as Object
oUIConfigurationManager = oDoc.getUIConfigurationManager()
oFrame = oDoc.getCurrentController().getFrame()
layoutmanager = oFrame.LayoutManager
element =
layoutmanager.getElement("private:resource/toolbar/standardbar")
element.ConfigurationSource = oUIConfigurationManager
This might work but normally it's not something you want to do. You
change the configuration source of an active user interface element. The
layout manager can destroy and create the elements whenever the user
interface context changes. So your solution would only work temporary.
Please use the way Ariel describes below.
* does this switch the storage? I mean, if the toolbar wasn't stored in the
document, changing the configuration source copies the module toolbar into the
document storage? I didn't try if this works.
element.Persistent = true
* you should do the opposite: setting this to true stores the window state at
the module level cf.
http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m61/framework/source/layoutmanager/layoutmanager.cxx#1545
spec. 1573
I'd try the following:
* do not access the toolbar by the LayoutManager and then change the
ConfigurationSource. Use the way you already learn by getting it from the
configuration manager (first try to see if the document already has a customized
version in its storage; if not, get it from the module ui config. manager, and
copy it in the document ui config. manager). You can make a helper method
getToolbar(sResourceURL) for this.
This way you make sure that you're always working with the toolbar at document
level, not module.
Ariel is right that this is the way to go. Please always uses the ui
configuration manager whenever you want to make persistent changes to
the content of a user interface element. Non-persistent changes can be
done by using the layout manager to retrieve the ui element.
* now fool the LayoutManager to set it not visible without storing the window
state information:
Dim oLayoutManager as Object
oLayoutManager =
oDoc.getCurrentController().getFrame().getPropertyValue("LayoutManager")
Dim oUIElement as Object
oUIElement = oLayoutManager.getElement(OOO_WRITER_STANDARD_TOOLBAR)
'Fool the LayoutManager
oUIElement.Persistent = False
oLayoutManager.hideElement(OOO_WRITER_STANDARD_TOOLBAR)
'Set it Persistent again
oUIElement.Persistent = True
I've updated the doc with a new sub
http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/docs/com.sun.star.ui.XUIConfigirationManager.odt
I didn't test much, but that trick seems to work.
This is definitely a trick and I cannot promise that it will work in the
future. "Persistent" is a property which influences the persistence of
the content of a ui element. It's not designed to influence other
attributes (like visibility), although the current implementation
respects it.
Regards,
Carsten
