Hi Frank,

I also find inconsistence the fact that some controls/models have to be
instantiated by the global service manager, instead of the
UnoControlDialogModel's XMultiServiceManager; besides that this isn't
documented anywhere: nor in the services IDL, nor in the brand new GUI
chap. in the Dev's Guide; so how do you know how to instantiate them ?
by try and error.
That's a bug. I'm somewhat surprised, since I darkly remember having
added code the the dialog model that allows to create any control model
- as long as it supports the UnoControlModel -, where previously only a
fixed list was allowed. (This was some premature "prepare it for
data-aware control models" implementation :) So, I would have assumed
that you can instantiate anything you like at the dialog model.
In any case, as I am a big believer in the necessity and importance of a
clear and consistent API, I as always encourage you to submit an issue,
requesting consistency. If you do, please put me on CC.
You are right, and I was wrong, well ... to be nice with myself half-wrong.
I moved this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the scandalous title "AWT: some questions
concerning Toolkit "inconsistencies""
http://api.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=19106
I took the liberty to put some more challenging targets onto the issues.
I *really* think we pay way too little attention to API users.
thanks! sometimes you've got that attitude I don't know how to describe
-but as you surely know yourself better than I do, you understand what
I'm talking about ;-) - so let's call it the Frank-attitude
a nice attitude! - at least seen from this side... just hope you get
well with your colleagues :-)
Regards
Ariel.
