[api-dev] New document type information
Hi All, We are going to develop an open source application to design and run business workflow and we are going to use OpenOffice.org suite as document editor. We belive that maybe interesting to develop our application as an extension of OOo suite; so we could create a new document type to do this. We have a look to Developer's guide, but we didn't find all information we need. We need to have more information about the development of a new document type, how to add new command in the framework layer and in the chain of responsability and how to deploy the new application, like Writer, Calc etc , in the OOo environment. We need more information about the system architecture too. Can you tell us where find more information?

[api-dev] CSV file opens a write document
I am writing an extensive database and macro document here: http://www.pitonyak.org/database/OOoBaseBinaryFields.odt I have a macro that demonstrates how to connect to flat files using macros. My macro generates the data, loads the data into a Calc document using the scalc: Text - txt - csv (StarCalc) filter, and then connects to the flat file and the Calc document as a data source. This is all for learning, of course. On Windows, a Calc document is opened, and on my Linux box, a Write document is opened. Does this make any sense at all? If you download the document listed above, search for Read Fixed Width File, which is listing 31 on page 65. There is a button that you can click on, which will automatically run the macro, which is also displayed in the text -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.sxw My Book: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php See Also: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] SDK 2.0

The best I could get is http://download.openoffice.org/680/sdk.html, but by means of the search mechanism only ;o) There seems to be no link from the main page. i hope this sides will be updated soon. The whole navigation to the SDK is bad. I will create new release notes for the new SDK and will try to redesign this pages. At least i will add a link at a prominent place to find the SDK easily. Juergen Anyway, the ftp sites don't provide a version for Windows (yet). Or are we supposed to use the linuxIntel version? Cheers, Jorge. Selon Jürgen Schmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Jorge, yes there should be a new SDK for OO.org2.0 available on www.openOffice.org (i am currently don't know the exact link) The new SDK introduce a lot of new interfaces, the Developers Guide is updated, most of the exmapes use the new simple UNO bootstrap mechanism. In a few weeks we will provide a native installer for the SDK as well. This new version of the SDK has the same content as the currently available zip file. But it comes with a new implicit configuration mechanism when you try to use the SDK the frist time. Future versions for windows will probably configure the SDK during the setup. For more information see the release notes and the sdk/install.html page inside the SDK. Juergen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, all! I am new to OOo 2.0 and would like to know if there is a specific SDK for this version or we should keep using SDK 1.1. In any case, are there undocumented new features? Where one could learn about those? Thanks in advance.

We need more information about the system architecture too. You must develop a UNO component that implements the service com.sun.star.document.OfficeDocument and a second UNO component that implements the com.sun.star.frame.Controller service. Both are described in the IDL reference and the Developers Guide. Additionally you have to provide a window together with your controller that either must be implemented using VCL directly or indirectly (through our com.sun.star.awt.Toolkit). This window is used for drawing output and user interaction. While parts of it are possible using our Toolkit or (as I assume) our new Canvas API I'm afraid that currently it would be too cumbersome and so you will need to use the VCL library directly. As an alternative you could try to do your drawing and user interaction in an own native window and plug this into the window of your controller, but I have only a limited experience with this, but I know that it works because the same is done when plugins are embedded into an OOo document, like e.g. the Acrobat Reader. Inside the native window you can use any toolkit you like that allows you to get access to its window handle for reparenting or that allows you to create a window as a child of an arbitrary native window (that you again know by its window handle). So as a start I recommend to study and understand the mentioned services and think wether using VCL is an option or if you want to try the native window approach. Then we can talk again. :-) Best regards, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer - OpenOffice.org Application Framework Project Lead Please reply to the list only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a spam sink. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On the left side of this page is a link to the SDK and from there you should find the download site where an SDK for the milestone m2 can be found. It's identical with the final version.
