Don't rely on slot URLs as they can be removed without further notice. The implementation for slot:6661 which uses the command URL .uno:MenuBarVisible was removed for OpenOffice.org 2.0. There is a better way to show/hide the menu bar. Please use the LayoutManager accessible via the frame of your document. Ariel posted some code on how you can control the visibility of the ui elements. Please use this way which is more powerful and consistent.

Re: [api-dev] How can I set the right image size on complex toolbar controls?
Hi Carsten, sorry for the delay, comments follow Carsten Driesner wrote: Giuseppe Castagno wrote: Hi all, while testing the 'complex toolbar control' implementation I'm working on, I ran into a problem with the image size. Toolbar images should be 16x16 or 26x26 pixel. I have prepared the two set of images but I can't figure out when I have to change them. I mean, the user has three selections available: Automatic, Small, Large. What can I monitor to detect when such changes are applied to my toolbar in order to set the correct image size? For the Small and Large selections I can use an 'XChangesListener' to the right configuration parameter (e.g. create read-only view that listens for changes), but I have no idea about how the Automatic one. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Hi Giuseppe, I think your idea with the XChangesListener is the best way to get notifications about a selection for small and large icons. The automatic selection is a problem as you already found out. Currently there is only a C++ class which notifies about icon changes, therefore this notification is not available for extensions. For what complex toolbar control do you need this notification? I can think of using the the 'ControlType' value is ImageButton, where the custom image is dynamically changed to reflect the state of an internal extension status variable XControlNotificationListener interface to provide this kind of information to a complex toolbar controller. As the interface can transfer any kind of information without being changed. That would be a great idea, I suppose that the toolbar already receives the size change notification and routing it through the XControlNotificationListener interface seems to be the most sensible thing to do. -- Kind Regards, Giuseppe Castagno Acca Esse http://www.acca-esse.eu [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Carlos Rocha wrote: Hi I'm embedding OO in a program and I'm able to control it thru OLE automation. For this purpose I created a VB activeX to create listeners, receive events from OO, and pass them to my app. This is not a perfect solution but it's working. The next step is to adapt OO UI to de design of my app, that provides a tabbed interface for different documents is different contexts (text documents, calc documents, etc, along some others of my own). I don't want to limit in any way the normal usage of OO. The user must be able to use it independently of my program and have access to all his power. Now I need to decide how to achieve a few things. For a start :) 1. It's possible to get rid of the desktop close button (the small X in the top-right) when there is only one opened document (when the document is opened by my app)? to prevent confusion with the normal office installed on your computer i would suggest to work with your own local user installation. But that means that the office that is embedded in your app might have different user settings than the normal office. I am not sure if it possible to control the close button, it have to be checked. Anyway you can always keep a hidden document in the back ground. That is not nice but should work. 2. I need to intercept menu commands in order to desallow the defined action and generate an event that I can intercept and decide the action. I need this, for example, to redirect saving orders or to create new documents in the respective tabbed window. yes it's possible to intercept commands and do something special. You even hide the normal menus and toolbars and do everything on your own. See for example the SDK example DevGuide/OfficeDev/ContextMenuInterceptor.java. I am sure you can find more examples online. I hope that a kind expert in this group can point me in the right direction. not sure if it helps Juergen TY, Carlos - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] Java in Windows and OOo uses different Paper Tray names
Hi Andrew, I thought that the tray names were set in the PPD file (for post script printers anyway). For example, read page 101 of this document http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5003.PPD_Spec_v4.3.pdf This means OOo seems to read it from the ppd. Won't be platform independent in case I want to do it this way... Thank you. Greetings, Tobias - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] uno-skeletonmaker hacks
Hi Juergen, Le lundi 19 mai 2008 à 23:05 +0200, Juergen Schmidt a écrit : Are talking of the -propertysetmixin option ? Why not making it a default ? If it's the helper to use its fine but the default case is still buggy in C++. maybe it's a bug i have to check it and will provide tests for the future. Making the propertysetmixin as default is no option. People should explicitly think about it. Ok, then I'll simply fix the bug. However I think that it should be much better to add some todo comments in the body of the default implementation for the getters and setters.

Hi Sean,
Hi,
I want customize view of openoffice 3.0 beta thought execute Java code.
The slot:5920 could hide StatusBar,but the slot:6661 is invalid.
Can anybody ask me , what is MenuBarVisible's new slotID in new OpenOffice
3.0 Beta?
slots are from OOo's stone age, you should try to use the UNO commnad URLs:
.uno:StatusBarVisible
.uno:MenuBarVisible
and you may try to use the newer API: XDispatchHelper
Anyway, (1) .uno:MenuBarVisible seems not to work in 2.4.0 (I'm not
sure if this is this a bug, or this command does not work just because
it isn't available in the UI, and so they have remove it), (2) you
should avoid using the dispatch mechanism for this, and use instead the
ayoutManager, see the sample below: it is even *simpler*, and here you
*can* set the menu bar not visible!
Regards
Ariel.

[api-dev] Re: Automation doubts
Thanks for your fast reply. I want to apologize for something I might say unintentionally, but english is not my primary language :) Let me start to say that I'm reading OO docs for many months now, and I collected lots of sample code from many sources, including this list, but I don't program in Java, C++, Basic, Python, VB or Delphi. Some samples are easily portable, tho, specially VB. to prevent confusion with the normal office installed on your computer i would suggest to work with your own local user installation. But that means that the office that is embedded in your app might have different user settings than the normal office. Yes, the idea is to have different settings, but I don't want to rely on a (special or not) user account. I would prefere something like configuration files in a different path and, by using the API, force OO to use them instead. Could css.util.PathSettings be used for this purpose? It's easy to imagine some adapted menu configuration files (for example, the menu Window is useless for me for every opened file). Of course, dynamically hiding/creating/changing menu elements is also a possibility, and for what I've read is the usual way. I just don't want to interfere with the normal office usage. I am not sure if it possible to control the close button, it have to be checked. Anyway you can always keep a hidden document in the back ground. That is not nice but should work. Yes, I though about that too, but it would appear as a ghost document in the Window menu (in the normal OO). Anyway, it's only a cosmetic issue. yes it's possible to intercept commands and do something special. You even hide the normal menus and toolbars and do everything on your own. See for example the SDK example DevGuide/OfficeDev/ContextMenuInterceptor.java. I am sure you can find more examples online. Thank you. I'll try that.
