[api-dev] Typo in the Developer´s Guide?
In some places, the Developers guide, more specifically on section 7.3.5, named the service attached to a DataBaseTextField as com.sun.star.text.FieldMaster.Database. It does not correspond to the value returned when you get the FieldMaster, which returns com.sun.star.text.FieldMaster.DataBase, note the case of the letter b. Is this just a typo? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[api-dev] Change the value of a DataBase TextField
Hi,
I want to change the value of a collection of textfields. When the
textfield is a User TextField, it works ok, but when it is a DataBase
TextField I cannot obtain the field, even thought the field exists.
How can I obtain a DataBase TextField of a document?
Here is the code that I used:
// get XTextFieldsSupplier
XTextFieldsSupplier xTextFieldsSupplier = (XTextFieldsSupplier)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextFieldsSupplier.class, component);
// access the TextFieldMasters collections
XNameAccess xNamedFieldMasters = xTextFieldsSupplier.getTextFieldMasters();
for (String fieldName : xNamedFieldMasters.getElementNames()) {
logger.debug(Just to make sure the field exists: + fieldName);
}
//Iterate over the fields collection that are to be changed
for (TextFieldContent textFieldContent : fieldsToChange) {
String completeFieldName = textFieldContent.getCompleteName();
if (xNamedFieldMasters.hasByName(completeFieldName)) {
Object fieldMaster =
xNamedFieldMasters.getByName(completeFieldName);
XPropertySet xPropertySet = (XPropertySet)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class,fieldMaster);
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue(Content,
textFieldContent.getValue());
} else {
logger.warn(completeFieldName + does not exists);
}
}
In the log I have both lines:
Just to make sure the field
exists:com.sun.star.text.FieldMaster.DataBase.sicor74.sicor74.SicorDestinatario
and
com.sun.star.text.FieldMaster.Database.sicor74.sicor74.SicorDestinatario does
not exists
How is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Fabrício Lemos

Re: [api-dev] Change the value of a DataBase TextField
I suppose it´s from the text-layer because when I iterate over the names in the FieldMaster I find the field: com.sun.star.text.FieldMaster.DataBase.sicor74.sicor74.SicorDestinatario It´s really strange because when I call hasByName() (from the interface XNameAccess) with the same name found, it returns false.

Re: [api-dev] Macro: revert changes.
Maybe I don't understand how you integrate with OOo. My understanding is that you have a component that registers at a document and waits until it is closed, then you want to revert this document back to the last saved state, modify the edit time and send it to the server. How is the document sent to the server? Directly via http or is it an operation done by your component (e.g. by intercepting the saving process)? Here is the scenario for my application: 1. The user request a document to the server. 2. The server stores, via java applet, the document at the user disk. 3. The user may open and close the document as many times he wants. Some times he edit it, sometimes not. He can still move the document to another folder or another computer. 4. At any time (hours, days or months later), the user may decide to upload the document to the server. 5. The user tells the server where the file is and the server get the file via java applet. 6. On the server side, I need to know how long the document stayed open. All transfer operations, between server and user, is done via http.

In future versions of OOo we will be able to change the metadata of a document without loading the whole file, just with loading and storing only the metadata. So if you now store your document editing time as custom metadata (a new feature in OOo2) you can speed up your workflow a lot once the feature will be available. Any ideas on which version will have this feature? Not for sure. It might be 2.0.2 or 2.0.3.

Re: [api-dev] Macro: revert changes.
So you could do the following: If you know where the local disk copy is you can wait until the document is closed, then load the file from disk in hidden mode, change the data about the editing time (preferable as extended metadata in the document) and send it to the server. Later on when we have the new feature that metadata can be stored independently from the content this will be much faster because reading and writing only metadata is quite fast. The user should be able do edit the document while he is offline (not connected to the server). That way, I don´t know how the application would notice that the document was closed and load it in hidden mode. If there were a macro that re-open a document after it was closed, would solve this :) On 12/15/05, Mathias Bauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Fabricio Lemos wrote: Here is the scenario for my application: 1.

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. Is there anyway to do that (with or without reloading the document)? On 12/13/05, Mathias Bauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Fabricio Lemos wrote: Hello all, Is there anyway, with macros, to revert all changes made in a document since last time it was saved, without reloading it? 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.

Re: [api-dev] Macro: revert changes.
Why don't you update the editing time when the document is stored by the user instead of waiting until he closes the document? In this case the correct time gets stored along with all the changes the user wants. Of course you will not keep track of the time that the user works on the document but then discards his work, but do you want to count this time? Yes, I need to count this time. By the way, I need to keep track of all the time the document stays open, whether the user edit (change) it or not. And are you really sure that the OOo internal editing time isn't good enough for you? If you can use the OOo internal counter it will be stored each time anyway and you don't need to do anything on your side. It doesn´t work for me because the internal editing time is updated only when, and if, the document is saved and doesn´t register the time the document was open without being edited.

He makes some changes to the document and then saves it again to the server (right?). You keep track of the editing time in the document and update it when the document is closed. Now you want to store this updated time to the document on the server but of course without any changes that meanwhile have been applied to the document because obviously the user wants to discard them (right?).
