Hi Ariel,
good stuff. I'm looking forward to the flesh under some of the menu items :)
... I will have to feed them, 'cause they are all bones ;-)
Regarding the double call in the table editor and relation dialog.
Didn't happen to me under XP.
Happens on my home's WinXP, SO8U8, too. (not able to try other versions ATM)
a mystery to me... I think I'm doing right ... but may be merging an
item on the top most (== first) position of a menu does not work.
First I thought it was due to the MsgBox class (it is from June == quite
old for me, because I've learn a lot from this times: I wanted a
OOoBasic-msgbox-like, so I used methods not passing an XWindowPeer but
getting it in the constructor from
XDesktop.getCurrentFrame().getContainerWindow(), BUT I've learned that:
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/GUI/GUI.xhtml#1_5_3_The_Toolkit_Service
"This should *only* be used for *debugging* purposes. The method
getCurrentFrame is based on the implementation of the window handler of
the operating system and you cannot be sure that the returned frame is
always the desired one on all supported platforms, or that a valid frame
is returned at all."
I've changed the MsgBox class to pass always an XWindow reference, but
didn't solve the problem; looks like a Framework issue :-(
Anyway - I am hoping that you are kidding about your menu choices not
being an indication as to what you are planning on working on first...
A) as in an export / import addon
as soon as Frank give us the gift of the UNO service for the copy Table
dialog, I will write a demo extension testing it ;-)
Hey, this got recorded :)
I've read
http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/49153/copytablewizard.zip
It looks really good.
Let me know when it gets included in a build/developer snapshot.
********************************************************************************
Concerning the "Where is Base? ( Part ...)" if you see
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Options_Dialog_Configuration
the options dialog for extensions was more careful and included
com.sun.star.sdb.OfficeDatabaseDocument (Base)
com.sun.star.sdb.TableDesign (Base)
com.sun.star.sdb.QueryDesign (Base)
com.sun.star.sdb.FormDesign (Base)
but didn't include the other I listed on
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Office_modules_since_OpenOffice.org_2.3
com.sun.star.sdb.RelationDesign
com.sun.star.report.ReportDefinition
com.sun.star.sdb.TextReportDesign
com.sun.star.sdb.DataSourceBrowser
I will give it a try on the weekend and see if all modules work.
(a sample about what this feature is about can be found at:
http://www.arielconstenlahaile.com.ar/ooo/temp/OOoCommunityES.oxt
-- completely useless example, I did it just to start testing/studying)
As you see studying never ends: for OOo 2.4 we'll have to learn how to
write help files -- which by the way -- Andrew, are you there? -- give
me the idea to ship OOoBase related extra help files as extension:
An example: Spanish-speaking user often ask about SQL topics - most
often related to HSQLDB embedded, so the work of Andrew in the Wiki with
the functions and stored proceds. can be included as an
OOoBaseExtraDocExtension.oxt or what ever name
I find it better to be INSIDE OOo than outside on the web; and for
update problems, there is no problem :-) extensions can be updated,
versioned, etc.
bye
Ariel.
