Hello folks, I have been using Conditional Text feature quite a bit, but I have following gripes with it:
1. It is not possible to have more than one else clause. Something similar to switch/case. Or am I missing something? 2. In general, when combined with field variables, this feature is somewhat harder to use for end user. My main problems being, setting variable part is not intuitive. Once you create a variable, it is not editable. So, for my needs I am contemplating to write a extension that simplifies this feature. 1. Allow more than one condition to be specified. 2. Variable declaration and specifying conditional text happens in one screen. However, before I actually start writing the code, I would like to know if something like this was attempted before. Also, since I am new to OpenOffice development side of things, I am wondering, what will be best way to write the extension. Should I explore OpenOffice UNO API or Visual Basic Scrpting interface will suffice? With Regards Hemant Kumar http://twitter.com/gnufied Co Founder - http://www.codemancers.com
