I cannot say if anybody ever tried to use src/hrc/sdf/cxx/hxx-combinations to create dialogs for addons the same way as we do it here.
IMO it should be possible to do it that way. I'm not so sure about the HelpIds. AFAIK it's currently not possible to add the help content of the addon to the help system - but I may be wrong here.
To build your addon with dialogs you need the OOo build environment. And there's no starter guide available :-(

When looking at the OO code for dialogs in C++, I have got good idea.
Has somebody programmed dialogs using hrc, cxx, src and sdf file combination for an addon or through OO sdk? It would be great to have a "hello world" kind of application to begin with as I am not sure if I can even make a C++ dialog in this format -- can I get helpids automatically etc?
And if I can develop it, then I would post it on this group. I hope I am asking the right question and right forum. If not, please guide. Thanks.

Hi
I am Aditya, a s/w engineer from India. I have been looking around the openoffice website and documentation for some time, and I am interested in creating an addon for OpenOffice Writer in C++.
I looked at OO Basic Dialogs, which is a great feature and its documentation is pretty good. Since my addon is in C++, I dont want to use Basic for UI as passing parameters and 'returning values back from Basic' is a problem area (they are 2 separate processes). And I dont want to follow the method of exposing UNO services/interfaces to be used by Basic (return values from a basic dialog is complicated -- first C program runs Basic dialog, then it calls an 'C' UNO service, then my C program somehow calls again the 'C' UNO service to retrieve values).
On ui.openoffice.org <http://ui.openoffice.org>, I came to know of .res files for easy localization, and that dialogs are coded in C++, but could not find a starter/beginner guide on that. If some body could tell me either relavant documentation or point to source code of any easy to understand dialog of openoffice etc, it would be great.
