[api-dev] XTextRange.getString empty if more than 65000 chars
Hi everybody, As far as my tries have gone, it seems that a TextRange cannot return its string (through getString() ) if its length is higher than a certain limit, which I estimate to be around 65000 characters. Is it documented somehow ? Is there another workaround than enumerating TextPortions to retrieve TextRanges with a finer granularity ? I use OO 2.0.3 (Windows version). Thank you if you can help.

[api-dev] How to get paragraph from TextRange
Hi to all, Does someone know a reliable way to get the paragraph containing a TextRange (let's say it's collapsed), beside of course enumerating all paragraphs from the start of the text ? (which has linear complexity proportional to the number of paragraphs) I have read in a mail of this list that the TextRange service implements XEnumerationAccess, apparently in the same way as the Text service does. I have tried, and it seems to give some result, but : - XEnumerationAccess on TextRange seems undocumented (at least in the SDK 2.0 I have); will this interface be maintained or published in the future ? - Can I be sure that it is the TextRange service itself that implements XEnumerationAccess, and not only some services including TextRange, such as TextCursor, TextPortion, etc. ? (I have tried on both TextCursor and TextPortion, it works) For instance, is the following navigation in the text model valid : Text -> by XEnumerationAccess, enumerate all Paragraph Paragraph -> by XEnumerationAccess, enumerate all TextPortion TextPortion -> since it includes TextRange, by XEnumerationAccess, enumerate again the (only) paragraph "contained" in the range of the portion etc. ad infinitum ? It seems to work !

[api-dev] Listening to TextRange string
Hi everybody, Is there a way to be notified when the content (the string, I mean) of a TextRange is changed ? I feel that the answer is negative, from some mails I've read in this list, but in case there is a miracle... TextRange publishes XPropertySet, which enables registration of a property listener, but there is no such thing as a 'string' property (at least, documented).

[api-dev] How to lock a text model
Hi to all, Does someone know a way to lock/unlock the model of a text document, that is, to make it temporarily read-only (the user cannot change its content) ? My purpose is to make sure that when my add-on is currently retrieving the text and manipulating it later, it has not changed in between. Because I assume OO to be fully multithread, it seems theoretically possible to me that the user (or any component other than mine) may modify the text while my add-on thread is working on it. Maybe something to do with the controller ?

Re: [api-dev] How to lock a text model
OOo is not multithreaded, but it's possible that two threads can work on the same OOo model as it is not locked between API calls. This will change with our new Threading Framework in the future where code executed in any thread can obtain an exclusive lock for a defined span of time. ATM you can't lock a model against changes through its API, but you can prevent it from being modified through UI operations (dispatch calls). Thank you, Mathias, for this clear answer. Could you please tell me more about how to disable modifications of a document through UI, as I don't know exactly where to start for this ?

[api-dev] How to assign keyboard shortcut to add-on menu

[api-dev] Refreshing a modified menu bar
Hi everybody,
I have written an add-on which inserts its menu in the "OfficeMenuBar"
as a top-level menu.
Instead of using a .xcu installed with the add-on package, it creates
and inserts its menu dynamically, using the
"com.sun.star.configuration" module to modify OO's configuration, at
the "/org.openoffice.Office.Addons/AddonUI/OfficeMenuBar" node.
I have limited this menu to com.sun.star.text.TextDocument modules.
Then the changes made in the configuration are committed through
XChangesBatch.commitChanges().
Everything works well, except that the menu bars of the currently
opened documents are not refreshed.
The new menu will appear only for documents opened afterwards.
I have tried XUIConfigurationPersistence.reload() on a
ModuleUIConfigurationManager service (itself retrieved by
XModuleUIConfigurationManagerSupplier.getUIConfigurationManager("com.sun
.star.text.TextDocument")), it doesn't seem to improve the behavior.
Does someone know a way to refresh the currently opened menu bars ?

Although this is a possible way to implement your add-on it looks a

I agree; in the case of my add-on, I strongly needed to avoid manual
registration of a package.
As a "solution" to this drawback, I have chosen to remove the inserted
menu (modifying the configuration again) when OO quits (on OnCloseApp
event).
You can use the layout manager from the frame to destroy and create
the menu bar again. The current implementation doesn't listen to
changes in the Addon.xcu file. The following Basic code snippet
"refreshes" the menu bar.
REM * BASIC *
Sub Main
REM *** Initialize strings
sMenubar = "private:resource/menubar/menubar"
REM *** Retrieve the desktop service
oDesktop = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop")
REM *** Retrieve the current frame and layout manager
oCurrFrame = oDesktop.getCurrentFrame()
oLayoutManager = oCurrFrame.LayoutManager
REM *** Destroy and create menu bar to refresh content
oLayoutManager.destroyElement( sMenubar )
oLayoutManager.createElement( sMenubar )
End Sub

Carsten
I have tried your suggestion. It doesn't seem to work, though all calls
seem to be successful.
I have only one (writer) document opened.
My code is parallel to yours, in C++ :
__
Reference curFrame = m_appDesktop->getCurrentFrame();
Reference layoutMgr(GetObjectProperty(curFrame,
"LayoutManager"), UNO_QUERY);
OUString element =
OUString::createFromAscii("private:resource/menubar/menubar");
layoutMgr->destroyElement(element);

[api-dev] Bug in C++ UNO binding of awt::KeyEvent ?
Hi, Maybe this mail isn't appropriate in this mailing list (then tell me). As far as I have understood, there seems to be a bug in the C++ UNO binding of the awt::KeyEvent structure. When using the following code snippet to set keyboard shortcuts programmatically by the API : http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/Office/ Office.ManagingKeyboardShortcuts.snip It works well when called from a script (say, automation by jscript) or from Basic (the snippet); then the relevant field is KeyEvent.KeyCode. But when called from C++ (XAcceleratorConfiguration.getKeyEventsByCommand, setKeyEvent, etc.), it seems to be KeyEvent.KeyChar (either on passing or on return) ! Using this fields instead makes the snippet works in C++. Should I report this in some way (file an issue) ? I am not familiar with this.

Hi Julien,
OpenOffice.org should display all associated keyboard shortcuts
automatically in the menu. If it doesn't work for your example, then I
guess that it's a bug. So could you write me a bug for this issue and
add a small example to reproduce it?
Hi Carsten,
I have spent several hours to boil down the phenomenon.
From my tests, I have concluded that this "display connection" of the
shortcut with its menu line doesn't work when the menu line is in a
submenu (i.e. not a line in a menu of the menu bar, but in a submenu of
a menu).
When it is simply a menu line of a menu of the menu bar, it works.
It looks like a bug. I use OO 2.0.3.
With regards to a sample code, I have got one, but only in JScript, as
I am much more used to it than Basic.
Copy the sample below in a text file, say
"Insert_new_menu_and_shortcut.js".
I launch the script in Windows, with a simple command line (OO should
be running) :
cscript "Insert_new_menu_and_shortcut.js"
I hope JScript won't be a burden for you. If it were, tell me and I
will try to translate it in OO Basic with my little knowledge of it.
Here is the sample :
(you can try both cases, with a simple menu line, or with a submenu, by
assigning the 3rd parameter of 'InsertMenu')
__
var ooServMgr = WScript.CreateObject("com.sun.star.ServiceManager");
var mycommand = "macro:///Standard.Module1.Test()";
// Set the 3rd parameter to 'true' to insert a submenu in the "File"
menu.
// This submenu has only one line.
// Or 'false' to insert only the menu line in the "File" menu.
//
InsertMenu(ooServMgr, mycommand, true);
InsertShortcut(ooServMgr, mycommand);
function InsertMenu(ooServMgr, myCommand, bWithSubmenu) {
var ooDesktop = ooServMgr.createInstance("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop");
var curFrame = ooDesktop.getCurrentFrame();
var layoutMgr = curFrame.LayoutManager;
var menuElementName = "private:resource/menubar/menubar";
var menuBar = layoutMgr.getElement(menuElementName);
var menuBarSettings = menuBar.getSettings(true);
menuBar.Persistent = false;
// Find the "File" popup menu.
//
var fileMenuIndex = FindCommand(".uno:PickList", menuBarSettings);
if (fileMenuIndex >= 0) {
var popupMenuItem =
menuBarSettings.getByIndex(fileMenuIndex).toArray();
var popupMenu = GetProperty("ItemDescriptorContainer",
popupMenuItem);
//if (FindCommand(myCommand, popupMenu)==-1)
{
var menuItem;
menuItem = CreateMenuItem(ooServMgr, myCommand, "Test shortcut",
null);
var menuItemPassed = ooServMgr.Bridge_GetValueObject();
menuItemPassed.Set("[]com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue", menuItem);

var submenu;
submenu =

I recommend to do the following:
Make sure that you have the default configuration and use
"getKeyEventsByCommand" to see what you get. It should yield the same
result as in Basic.
Hi Mathias,
I have followed your advice. Doing so enabled me to investigate
further, and I have concluded that there is definitely an alignment
weakness in the UNO C++ headers.
The point is that I compile my add-on with alignment 2. I thought there
would be no problem since all UNO structures are wrapped with :
#pragma pack(8)
struct { ... }
#pragma pack()
But there is a subtlety. Nothing is better than an example, the one I
have coped with :
#pragma pack(push, 8)
struct EventObject {
Reference Source;
};
struct myEventObject {
void *Source;
};
#pragma pack(pop)
==> sizeof(EventObject)==4 && sizeof(myEventObject)==4
#pragma pack(push, 8)
struct myInputEvent: public myEventObject {
short Modifiers;
};
struct InputEvent: public EventObject {
short Modifiers;
};
#pragma pack(pop)
The size of myInputEvent is 8 (at least with Visual C++), because the
'myEventObject' type has requested to be aligned on 8-bytes boundary,
and therefore its 'Source' field must be aligned on 4-bytes boundary.
The compiler adjusts the size of the structure so that an array of
myInputEvent makes the Source field fall on 4-bytes boundaries.
But if the default alignment compiler option is set to 2, the size of
InputEvent is 6, even though EventObject and my EventObject look
equivalent at first sight.
Why ? Because the Reference<> template is itself a structure, not a
basic type, and NOT wrapped with #pragma pack(8). So the compiler
doesn't bother to keep it aligned on 8-bytes or even 4-bytes boundary.
Consequence :
The awt::KeyEvent structure doesn't match the one of UNO in a C++
component compiled with such an option.
As a conclusion :
- Either compile a C++ UNO component with the alignment compiler option
set to 8 (or at least all SDK/UNO headers).
- Or the Reference<> template structure definition should be wrapped
with #pragma align(8).
But the latter option is a fix in the SDK. Should I report this to
someone ?
Or should I forward this mail to another dedicated list ?

today, using a dedicated machine.
Hi Carsten,
I was a bit afraid that sending you a JScript sample would not
facilitate your job.
So I have tried my best translating it into OOBasic (using frequent
copy/paste from the samples you've sent to me !), and checked it. Here
is the result below.
Just try to execute the 'Main' sub first with 'false' as the 2nd
parameter of InsertMenu.
Then with 'true'.
In the 1st case, a menu line is appended to the writer "file" menu,
with a Ctrl+F11 key shortcut.
It is displayed, and works when one strokes Ctrl+F11 (a msgbox is then
showed).
In the 2nd case, the same line is put into a submenu, itself appended
to the "file" menu.
The key shortcut is still assigned, works, but is not displayed.
I hope you will see the same phenomenon.
Regards,
Julien Galand

[api-dev] Enable toolbar items if dynamic protocol handler
Hi to all, My add-on has a toolbar created by a .xcu file, with the right protocol handler declared (as a node "org.openoffice.Office.ProtocolHandler/HandlerSet" of the configuration file). But there is no component registration in the package; in particular no registration of the implementation of the service of the protocol handler. Instead, the service of the protocol handler is registered dynamically by the executable component of my add-on, therefore necessarily LATER than OO's reading of the .xcu file. => The toolbar items are shown disabled, probably because the protocol handler service couldn't be instanciated at the time the toolbar was created. Is there a way to ask OO to re-scan the toolbar items to bind them to the protocol handler, which will likely make them enabled ? Thank you if you have some hint...

Le 2 nov. 06, à 18:50, Tabish F. Mufti a écrit : So what you are trying to do is that you have your own wrapper app which creates a toolbar at run time and the component is never deployed into openoffice ? Yes, it may be a good description. It is rather an add-on (loaded into OO's process) than an external app. This component is not registered by a package, but dynamically. Only the toolbar and the protocol handler are declared in the user configuration (typically by a .xcu file deployed into OO). OO doesn't know where the protocol handler is implemented by reading only the configuration. It has this information (but later) when the component is dynamically registered.

I would like to have your files and and how you are running them etc. only if you are working in java. I actually tried searching about doing such a thing and I thought its not possible in openoffice.org so later I had to resort to just installing my component into openoffice.org using the unopkg. My solution is specific to Windows, and my component is written in C++. Being a Windows executable, it is able (by some system hook) to inject itself into OO's process, and then to register itself dynamically to OO. Does this context still interest you ?

Re: [api-dev] Refreshing a modified menu bar
Le 2 nov. 06, à 10:31, Carsten Driesner a écrit : I was able to reproduce your problem and found the root cause. Could you please write me an issue for this problem. The problem is related to the fact that the popup menu doesn't need to retrieve labels, therefore an internal flag is not set. The shortcut retrieval is bound to this flag, which is obviously a bug. Thanks for your script and help to track down this issue. Hi Carsten, Thank you for your investigation. As it is the first time I write an issue, please check the following: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=71154 I guess there is no simple workaround, otherwise you would have mentioned it...

Re: [api-dev] Refreshing a modified menu bar
Le 3 nov. 06, à 15:55, Carsten Driesner a écrit : There is a "simple" workaround, but I am not sure you can accept the drawback. You have to make sure that at least one entry in your sub-menu has no label set. OpenOffice.org tries to find a label using the command URL. The *Commands.xcu files in installation>/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI define the labels language dependent for every UI command. To ensure that the workaround works: - You have to add a built-in UI command to your sub-menu (e.g. ".uno:Quit). OR - You have to add a GenericCommands.xcu file to your add-on, which defines the label for your command. Leave the label of your menu item empty. I am not sure that this is acceptable for you? Thanks for this last possible "solution". It is true that it has a drawback ! I guess that this workaround must be implemented in the first level of the menu and each of its submenu (as my menu has also submenus). I think we will wait for OO 2.2.

Hi Julien, I think the best solution would be to register your service before any user interface element is created. This can be done by a Job which will be activated on application startup. Nevertheless if you want to re-scan toolbar items, you can use the com.sun.star.ui.XUIElementSettings interface. It's available for all configurable user interface elements (menubar, toolbar, statusbar). See the following Basic macro Hi Carsten, It seems that a toolbar created by a .xcu file isn't considered as "configurable". It doesn't appear in the list returned by XLayoutManager.getElements. It is maybe only a UIElement service instead of ConfigurableUIElement. I am sorry that I cannot tell you more information, a colleague is working on this and he has decided to give up that path because of this failure. But would you know where we have failed ?

[api-dev] Command URL binding between menu and shortcut
Hi to all, I have a menu on which some keyboard shortcuts have been set through ui::XAcceleratorConfiguration. When a shortcut is set with the same command URL of an existing menu line, OO automatically displays the shortcut on the menu line (or should; a bug prevents this, but will be fixed in a later OO version). However, a drawback is that the protocol handler declared for these URLs receives the same URL when the user clicks in the menu and when he strokes the key shortcut. Is there a way to distinguish both kind of events ? I have tried to add arguments to the URL, such as : vnd.MyCompany:command1 for the menu line, vnd.MyCompany:command1?kind=0 for the shortcut, ...hoping that OO would still bind both in the displayed menu, but it is not the case. Does OO do this automatic binding by comparing strictly both URLs, or does it allow some differences while still considering them equal ? Or is there another way ? Thank you if you know any.

Le 6 nov. 06, à 16:19, Carsten Driesner a écrit : You want to re-scan a add-on toolbar? Ok, that's why my "solution" doesn't work. An add-on toolbar is not stored in the user interface configuration, it's a part of the normal OpenOffice.org configuration. Therefore it's not a ConfigurableUIElement. The only solution for this would be to destroy and create the toolbar again via layout manager (see Basic macro below) Yes, we have tried this, apparently without success (the whole UI doesn't change). But we should double-check it before concluding anything and submit it to the mailing list again. What about my other proposed solution? Use a job and register your service before any UI is visible. I will remember this solution. I have set it aside for the time being, because a job must be registered again in some OO configuration file (typically in the .xcu of a package), and that is precisely the kind of thing we try to avoid. We want to register everything dynamically. Thank you for these possible solutions. Julien Galand - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We want to register everything dynamically. They only way to get a notification about the first opened visible document is using of the job mechanism. OK - you can register any UNO listener on the gloabl css.document.GlobalEventBroadcaster instance (such broadcaster provides any notification about loading/storing/changing office documents) ... but how you will trigger your own listener registration ? Hardly coded inside main() ? But there exists a direct binding between the GlobalEventBroadcaster and the job execution. Jobs can be registered for events (e.g. OnStartApp). Of course registration of such jobs can be done using the configuration only. You said (some postings before) you dont install an AddOn .. you wish to patch the office "dynamicly at runtime". How do you do that ? Regards Andreas Hi Andreas, I am sorry to answer so late, I was away for 5 weeks. Yes, I register my add-on dynamically through a system hook, not an official and portable API mechanism (though I would be glad if there were any). That is : - Without any modification of OO configuration file, I detect OO's boot by a system hook. - On some systems (such as Windows), such hooks also enable me to inject any DLL in OO's process (then this DLL executes within OO's process). - Then I must somehow induce OO to register dynamically this DLL as an add-on. Under Windows, I use OLE to do this, the only way I have seen to call OO, since I don't have any reference to OO's service manager at this point. On other systems, maybe it could also be done if OO is scriptable under the corresponding system. - OO registers my DLL and during the call to 'component_getFactory', it passes a reference on its service manager. Done. But it is true that all this processing can only occur quite late after OO's boot, particularly after OO has read its configuration file, and that is the problem mentioned in my previous posts.
