no, that's not the case.
If you re-read the Dev's Guide, it's clear that in the Dialog Editor, when you
assign an action to an event, instead of choosing "Macro..." you should select
"Component...", and then in "Component method name" you must enter the name of
the method that will be used when the event takes place ("doit1" in this
case).
There is no OOo Basic code involved at all, "vnd.sun.star.UNO:doit1" is just
how the command URL is represented internally
Your class implementing com.sun.star.awt.XDialogEventHandler will then be
invoked with that method's name passed to callHandlerMethod()
Of course, first you have the create the dialog telling which class implements
com.sun.star.awt.XDialogEventHandler . You do this when creating the dialog,
invoking com.sun.star.awt.XDialogProvider2.createDialogWithHandler()
See
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/awt/XDialogProvider2.html#createDialogWithHandler
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/WritingUNO/Using_Dialogs_in_Components#Instantiate_and_display_a_dialog
I would have thought the SDK example was self-explaining, but it seems it
wasn't (yes... every example should have a little documentation, guiding the
user/developer...).
Try then
http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/devel/ooo/DialogProviderDemo.zip
it's basically the same SDK example but presented - I hope - in a more useful
way (the dialog is created when a menu item under File - Wizards is pressed).
