Hi Pavel,

Hello,

I am about to port a MS Word application to OO.o. Many of it macros use status bar as a method for displaying help for macros. It uses the following statement:

StatusBar = "User help here..."

Is there a possibility to do this with OO.o? I have tried to use a progress bar like this:

  oBar = oFrame.createStatusIndicator()
oBar.start("Start using the new status bar in the lower left corner.", 100)

but it works differently. Any ideas?

All the best,

The StatusIndicator is not really a help display. It is a progress indicator.
If your macro is started from a toolbar button you have a "bubble help" when the mouse passes over. You can also have "extended help" with buttons or menus of an extension.
You can have "bubble help" for any control in a form or in a dialog.
Bubble and extended helps depend on Tools > Options OpenOffice.org > General.

In an extension you can create contextual help pages displayed by key F1 on a dialog or dialog control or menu item.

Regards
  Bernard
