[api-dev] Actual Size of com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicObjectShape
How does one get the ActualSize of a GraphicObjectShape? If I do this: drawingTextShape = factory.createInstance( "com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicObjectShape" ); XPropertySet xGraphicPropsGOS = ( XPropertySet ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XPropertySet.class, drawingTextShape ); // the property GraphicObjectFillBitmap is actually deprecated, however I no other choice Object graphicObject = xGraphicPropsGOS.getPropertyValue( GRAPHIC_OBJECT_FILL_BITMAP ); XBitmap xGraphic = ( XBitmap ) AnyConverter.toObject( XBitmap.class, graphicObject ); actualSize = xGraphic.getSize(); I get the number of pixels. But how do I get the resolution so that I can find out how big the picture would be in cm, or how do I get directly the picture size? I can get the XGraphic object but didn't seem to help in getting the actual size. If I use a com.sun.star.text.GraphicObject then I can get the actualsize, but I am experiencing a strange problem with whereby the first image after a page break doesn't appear. thanks. kent __ Do You Yahoo!?

There is a lot of xml in the paragraphs preceding this example, from which I distilled the following, since I only want to add a toolbar to my package: The Developer's Guide has a whole chapter (4.7 Integrating Components into OpenOffice.org) explaining the ProtocolHandler.xcu and Addons.xcu. The "Addons.xcu" contains the definition of the user interface of an add-on (e.g. which buttons are part of the add-on toolbar and which command URL should they execute). The "ProtocolHandler.xcu" contains the association between the command URL schema and the implementation which executes the URL. http://openoffice.org/2001/registry"; xmlns:xs=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> http://openoffice.org/2001/registry"; xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; oor:name="Addons" oor:package=" org.openoffice.Office"> org.openoffice.Office.addon.example:Function1 Function 1 Funktion 1 _self com.sun.star.text.TextDocument Those are the examples, minus everything related to menus and help files. I created a toolbar in OOo and I had hoped that I would be able to just grab the code that I found in C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\config\soffice.cfg\modules\swriter\toolbar\custom_toolbar_1.xml Add-ons uses a completely different mechanism to describe their user interface. Therefore you cannot use a plain toolbar xml file from that folder. Plain toolbar xml files just contain the command every button should execute. The Addons.xcu file contains more properties which makes sense for add-ons, e.g. Context, Title, UserDefinedImages, ... http://openoffice.org/2001/toolbar"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; toolbar:uiname="ETUC"> toolbar:text="Insert Logo" toolbar:helpid=" vnd.sun.star.script:ETUC.ETUC.InsertETUCLogo?language=Basic& ;location=application"/> toolbar:text="Insert Footer" toolbar:helpid=" vnd.sun.star.script:ETUC.ETUC.InsertFooterFrame?language=Basic& ;location=application"/> toolbar:text="Date Fr" toolbar:helpid=" vnd.sun.star.script:ETUC.ETUC.InsertEurDate?language=Basic& ;location=application"/> toolbar:text="Date En" toolbar:helpid=" vnd.sun.star.script:ETUC.ETUC.InsertUSDate?language=Basic& ;location=application"/> toolbar:text="Saut de page" toolbar:helpid=" vnd.sun.star.script:ETUC.ETUC.InsertPageBreak?language=Basic& ;location=application"/> toolbar:text="concern." toolbar:helpid=" vnd.sun.star.script:ETUC.ETUC.InsertConcernTable?language=Basic& ;location=application"/> toolbar:text="2 sign." toolbar:helpid=" vnd.sun.star.script:ETUC.ETUC.Insert2SignaturesTable?language=Basic& ;location=application"/> toolbar:text="annex" toolbar:helpid=" vnd.sun.star.script:ETUC.ETUC.InsertAnnexes?language=Basic& ;location=application"/> toolbar:text="Cc:" toolbar:helpid=" vnd.sun.star.script:ETUC.ETUC.InsertCc?language=Basic& ;location=application"/> and here: C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\config\soffice.cfg\modules\swriter\images\sc_imagelist.xml OfficeDocument 1.0//EN" "image.dtd"> http://openoffice.org/2001/image"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";> I even found this: C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\config\soffice.cfg\modules\swriter\images\Bitmaps\sc_userimages.png The sc_userimages.png contains all user defined images. It's possible that this file contains more images than just your toolbar. The images are added horizontally to this single image file. You have to load the image file, cut every bitmap and store it (using the bitmap file format!) separately. Put your single image
[api-dev] "Spacing to Contents" in Tables
Is there any way to use the api to set the "Spacing to

If I use the dispatcher (see below) I can get no

[api-dev] How to debug API usage
I use open office developper release 2.0.3 on Linux with Java and UNO. Openoffice is started as a server under root and accessed via jboss. When I try to use storeToURL() to an RTF file I get "com.sun.star.task.ErrorCodeIOException", although the URL seems correct (its a file url). Also running a test program under different conditions (eclipse client on Windows, to a Linux server, instead of using the API as a jboss backend) works. -> So I need to get more information about what goes wrong in my precise case. Is there a way to get a trace of what happens on the openoffice side, to understand why the file write fails ? Is there a journal file for errors ? or a debug switch ? Yves Benigot

It's great that there is documentation, but I would be nice to find out what needs to be saved in which files and it would be great to have an easy way to get from what OOo generates to work with to what is expected for this uno.pkgstructure. You are right, it would be nice to make things easier and we are working on it. The plan is to have some tools that can generate the necessary files and integrate these tools into NetBeans, Eclipse or our Basic IDE, but this isn't done yet. When these tools will be done all you will have to specify is which commands shall be added to your toolbar or menu and which code shall be bound to it. Until then you could study existing code to learn how the things work together. Which programming language have you planned to use? Best regards, Mathias Hi Mathias, I'm working in OOo Basic. My personal preference goes to Python, since it's very clean and understandable, but since all the examples and available information exists in OOo Basic, I chose to use that. Where can I find examples of existing code? I'm sure that that would help a lot. It's great to hear that you are working on an easier interface to accomplish the creation of .uno.pkgs. I'm afraid my customer won't be able until it's finished though. Is there any kind of ETA? Could it be that it might be finished in a month? Then I could ask for a delay. If it will most probably take more than a month, then I'll have to bite the sour apple and learn how to do it by hand. Any reference to an example will help tremendously in that case.

Re: [api-dev] how to make the macros available to all users of a Windows Terminal server
Mathias Bauer schreef: Jo wrote: 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. Hi Mathias, Of course you're welcome to help too. Did I read correctly that the next release of OOo will have an easy way to create these packages? Then I'll postpone trying to create them by hand. It's simply taking too much time. The estimate I made hardly even covered the creation of the macros themselves, let alone packaging them, but it's the best way to deliver them. That I'm convinced of by now. Many thanks!
