[api-dev] switching components in one frame

2006-05-25 Thread Marc Santhoff
Hi,

I'm asking myself if it is possible to start implementing the following
scenario:

A doc is opened in a frame (and window). On a command of the user the
component attached to the frame is stored elsewhere to keep the
reference and a second document (component) is loaded into that frame.
After a task is done by the user the second component get's saved and
destroyed and the first component is attached to the frame again.

The goal is to reuse the window presented to the user with variing
contents.

Will this work or am I asking for trouble regarding attached listeners,
dispatch or whatelse?

TIA,
Marc

 Hi Carsten,
 
 Many thanks for your answer. The next problem is that when logged on as 
 a different user the library containing the macros is not available. I 
 tried to also copy the basic code as follows:
 
 C:\Documents and Settings\My Username\Application 
 Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\basic\ETUC\*.* 
 
 to C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\share\basic\ETUC\
 
 
 But the module is not recognized any more. When I try to do it properly, 
 then the Add... button becomes grey when I select Macros and Dialog 
 boxes of OpenOffice.org.
 
 Can you help me out on this one too?

I'm not Carsten but I hope I can help too. :-)

Basic has an administration file for all of its libraries and just
copying libraries won't help without updating this file. Unfortunately
this file is part of each user profile so it needs manual operations in
all user installations. Not recommended. Deploying libraries for all
users admittedly is a little bit awkward in OOo.

The best way is to create a UNO package from the libs and install it
with unopkg --shared.

Creating packages will be supported by the BasicIDE in OOo2.0.3. The
created packages of course will work in any OOo2 version.

Best regards,
Mathias

A component inside a frame comprises a controller and a model. You can
not keep the controller without the frame, but you can keep the model
and you can use this model later on to recreate a controller including a
view from it without reloading the document.

To preserve the model from being closed when its last controller gets
destroyed you must register as a close listener at it and deny its
request for becoming closed.

The recreation of the view is a little bit tricky because the necessary
API currently does not exist (it's in the making though).

We ourselves use the following replacement:
use the loadComponentFromURL() method of the desired frame, but pass a
parameter Model in the MediaDescriptor that contains a reference to
the model. This will advise the frame loader to use the existing model
and not creating and loading a new one. You must provide the valid URL
of the document though (or the stream it was loaded from) to pass the
type detection and to avoid confusion in the documents' internal media
descriptor.

Best regards,
Mathias
