[api-dev] Question on XServiceInfo indirect service names...
Hi there, if using com.sun.star.lang.XServiceInfo.getSupportedServiceNames(), the array will return all services implemented in the object: Provides the supported service names of the implementation, including also indirect service names. Are indirect service names the (old-style-aggregation) services a service may contain? Or would one have to use reflection to (possibly recursively) figure out all services that are available through the object?

[api-dev] LETTER FORM question
Everyone should know that the Mail Merge Wizard is usseless for complex task and page layouts. Happly we have still the famous Letter Form question on printing from File print. Problems is when the user had said that he not wonts to see this option again than he is forever in problems to uses Leter Form printing: so: - how can we undo this never again thing with a macro using the API ? - can we call the Form Letter printing option with a macro using the API? thanks for any hints Fernand - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[api-dev] How to launch and manipulate a document from an signed applet

Re: [api-dev] Integer Division?
Hi, How do I perform an integer division (e.g. 11 / 3 = 4) in OpenOffice Basic? Huh? IME the integer division operator (in languages where it exists) would produce 11 div 3 = 3, to match the modulus produced by the 'mod' operator (which does exist in StarBasic). That said, you can get the behavior you want (rounding) by assigning the result of a plain division to an integer variable q% = 11/3 ' Now the value of q% is 4 You can get a more typical integer division by using the available functions to convert to an integer by rounding down or truncating roundeddown% = int(11/3) ' value is 3 truncated% = fix(11/3) ' value is 3 These differ when negative numbers are involved. AFAICT truncation is the one that matches the builtin MOD operator, ie. b*fix(a/b) + a mod b = a HTH, Joerg -- Joerg Barfurth Sun Microsystems - Desktop - Hamburg using std::disclaimer Software Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenOffice.org Configuration http://util.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Felix, does Dim iResult as integer iResult = 11 \ 3 fit your needs? The \ operator would do the division with a whole number result.

Re: [api-dev] Macro: revert changes.
All I need to do is, given a document file to the user, know how long it kept the document open before he returned it to the server. To prenvent the user from dealing all the time with 2 files, I was storing this information on a user-field in the document file. But before closing the document I need to revert unsaved changes, update the user-field with the editing time information and save the document.

Such functionality does not exist at all, neither in the GUI nor in the API. You can call Undo until the undo stack is empty, in many cases that will do what you want. There are two cases where this is not what you want: (1) You have saved your document in the editing session. In this case calling Undo til the end will even go behind the last saved version. (2) OTOH if you have more undo steps than the configured depth of the undo stack (default in OOo2 is 100) you will not reach the last saved state.

[api-dev] Deprecated reflectable ? (Re: [api-dev] Question on XServiceInfo indirect service names...
Hi Stephan, I guess that is what was meant with "indirect service names." However, I also assume that many objects that support XServiceInfo do not implement it that way, but only return their "top" services. Thank you for your clarification and warning! An example seems to be the service "com.sun.star.frame.Desktop": using "XServiceInfo.getSupportedServiceNames()" does not list the service "com.sun.star.frame.Frame", also using "XTypeProvider.getTypes()" displays the non-existing (!) interface named "com.sun.star.document.XEventBroadcaster"; going to the documentation (cf. "OpenOffice.org2.0_SDK/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/frame/Desktop.html") reveals, that this interface is "deprecated", because "This interface is a documentation error. It was never thought to be supported by this service. Please use the service GlobalEventBroadcaster instead of this interface.". The problem here is, that using the appropriate XTypeDescription interfaces documents that interface wrongly. Now, is there *any* way to get the information via reflection that some UNOIDL member is deprecated, such that one can take this information into account at runtime and act accordingly? Regards, ---rony P.S.: Being there: is there any way to get at the help text via reflection at runtime from UNOIDL files which gets used to create the UNO help system?
