Hello people! As I was doing some testings this weekend, I'm afraid to said that I was disappointed :-( . You can read the "missing" of the message subject as "lacking of" and as "longing to":
I wanted to register a context menu interceptor on the application controller, so that when the user selected a table or a query, I added some entries on the context menu. Unfortunately, the implementation of the XController for this module (com.sun.star.sdb.ApplicationController :: source/dbaccess/source/ui/app/AppController) does not implement the com.sun.star.ui.XContextMenuInterception interface. This missing feature is one of the things that puts the OfficeDatabaseDocument behind the other OfficeDocument's. Here I think it will be really nice (for people developing extensions for OOo Base using the API) to have an implementation that in the css.ui.ContextMenuExecuteEvent::Selection provide us information about the current selection, that is, the current selected database element (Table/Query/Form/Report) and the name/s of its currently selected items. As a condition for this implementation, the controller should support the interface ::com::sun::star::view::XSelectionSupplier (the introspection tools, ObjectInspector and XRay, tell us the XModel of the OfficeDatabaseDocument has the method getCurrentSelection() BUT always returns null, because the actual implementation does not implement XSelectionSupplier ). With an XSelectionSupplier and an XContextMenuInterception, we could do some things with the API that are currently supported in the other modules but not here: for example disabling commands on a custom tool bar according to the current selection (because a toolbar can have functionality only for forms, or for tables, or queries ...), we could add a context menu entry to export the selected table/query to other formats (OOoCalc, CSV, XML, dbase ...), and so on... I know it's too much to ask... but maybe some day Base gives us as much as the other modules...
