[api-dev] Re: Constant values for Function arguments
Hey Johnny, honestly, a lot of your questions/things are basics... VALUE, STRING, FORMULA and DATETIME are reserved words in Basic and cannot be used as constant or variable names. Ever thought about this? Try to put a character in Front (i.E. nValue, or myString) and everything works as expected Best regards Thomas Am 18.08.2011 12:52, schrieb Johnny Rosenberg: Here's another delicate problem that's easy to work around, but still very strange: Module 2: ———Code starts below——— REM * BASIC * Option Explicit Public Const VALUE=1 Public Const STRING=4 Public Const FORMULA=16 Public Const DATETIME=2 Sub HelloWorld Print Hello world! End Sub ———End of code——— Module1: ———Code starts below——— REM * BASIC * Option Explicit Sub Main Dim A A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA End Sub ———End of code——— Run Main and you will get an error message at ”A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA”. If you run step by step (Ctrl+F8 in the BASIC IDE) and stop at that line and then hover your mouse pointer over VALUE or STRING or FORMULA, you can clearly see its values, but obviously this doesn't help. Dimensioning A as Variant, as I did, doesn't help either. If you look at VALUE, STRING or FORMULA in the variable monitor (or whatever it's called in English), the window at the bottom left, you can see that they are Variant/Integer and you can see their correct values. So now, let's move the constant definition to Module1: Module 2: ———Code starts below——— REM * BASIC * Option Explicit Sub HelloWorld Print Hello world! End Sub ———End of code——— Module1: ———Code starts below——— REM * BASIC * Option Explicit Public Const VALUE=1 Public Const STRING=4 Public Const FORMULA=16 Public Const DATETIME=2 Sub Main Dim A A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA End Sub ———End of code——— Now Main in Module1 works as expected, but take a look in the monitor again. Those constants appears in exactly the same way this time as before, the only exception is that this works. I would be very grateful for an explanation about this. Is there REALLY a logical reason for it to be this way or should I report this as a bug as soon as possible? Of course I can define those constants in every module, but isn't one of the points by declaring as Public that I can reach them in all my modules? Well, in this case I can; I just can't use them, at least not when adding them to each other. ”A=VALUE” works in both my examples, but obviously not ”A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA” for some reason I am sure absolutely nobody can explain, so please prove me wrong here…! :D Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ -- - To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@api.openoffice.org with Subject: help
Re: [api-dev] Document Server Memory Leak Suspicion
Morgen Mathias, Nur falls es dich interessiert: Deine Mail kommt bei mir als von gestern 18:43 an...

That goes fine, and then we call it to close the file after some time... also goes fine -- mostly. The file will close, but then the memory continues to be eaten up by document server until the machine becomes non-responsive. We've run strace and can't find anything. We're calling the server over port 2803. We're calling the close method (which I've learned also calls dispose, etc.). We've got hundreds of products at customers and some are beginning to doubt OpenOffice as a platform... please help! We still don't have enough information, or perhaps not the right one. OOo in general definitely does not have a memory leak of that kind - you wouldn't be the first to find it in case of. I know that OOo is used as a server in a lot of installations without such huge problems. So there must be a particular issue that is special for your setup. So let's summarize and see where we can make progress. We should try to describe everything exactly as possible. You are talking about a document server and a DocumentLoader. The latter seems to be a C++ application and the former seems to be an instance of OOo that is talking with the C++ application though a remote UNO bridge. The DocumentLoader seems to use this instance of OOo to load a ppt file and then it seems that something is eating up your memory. Is that the correct picture? If not, can you describe it better? Especially we need to know most exactly how OOo is used in this scenario. Next question - this something that eats up your memory - did you verify that it is the OOo process whose memory consumption goes through the roof? Another question: did you try the same with other kinds of documents (not ppt)?

[api-dev] How can I check, if a macro (basic) is still running?
Hey, I do have some macros, which will start on events (for example document close) or with user-action (menu-button). Those macros presents dialogs and the user can do some inputs and so on.

This is a property of service com.sun.star.document.Settings that you can see with Xray and modify by program. Remember that this service has to be instantiated from the document (ThisComponent), it is not directly accessible. Although this property is documented as optional, it should be provided by official OpenOffice versions. I found it in various Writer documents, even in a sxw document not modified since year 2002, and in MS-Word documents opened by OOo 3.1.1. Dim ds As Object ds = ThisComponent.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.DocumentSettings) xray ds ds.PrinterIndependentLayout = com.sun.star.document.PrinterIndependentLayout.HIGH_RESOLUTION HIGH_RESOLUTION sets the flag in Writer Compatibility Use printer metrics for document formatting. DISABLED and LOW_RESOLUTION both reset the flag. Where I have my errors: Because this flag is stored inside the document (settings.xml), I was looking to get a direct access to this property. I thought, creating a new service is the way to create a new property but I wasn´t aware, that - loading a document - the presets will be overwritten by the documents settings - and therefor visible, when inspecting the DocumentSettings -Service.

[api-dev] How to copy Master-Pages from one to another Impress-Dok?
Hey, I tried to copy some Master-pages from one Impress-Dok to another one using Basic. Unfortunatly I do not have any success :-( What I tried to do: Becouse i do not find a direct way to copy the Masterpage, I thought about simulat way as doing it using the UI . Using the UI it is easy: Select a slide, that used (based on) the wanted masterpage, - Copy - activate the new presentation - Paste - the complete slide ist inserted and also the new masterpage. Now I can delete the inserted slide - the Masterpage ist still remaining. My fist approch to simulate this workflow looks fine - and works fisrt time (Im using dispatch-commands uno:copy and uno-paste - changing the activ Doc etc). Second step by opening the old presentation via API and try copy paste - nothing would be transfered. looking a step deeper the problem was, that typically the main window-frame (workspace) is activated - to copy a hole slide it is nessessary to activate the left frame - this one, where you find all the slides. Even in UI it is not possible to copy a hole slide, if this frame is not activate for example per mouse-click. So I try to activate this left frame, but I cannot identify this clearly. Using ContainerWindow - accessibleChilds ... I can identify the Menubar, and some toolbars - but I do not know how to identify this left frame. Any Hints? Even this hole process ist really uneffectiv and not nice - maybe someone knows another approch? Via UI it is even possible to integrate a hole document (menu - insert - document) but I cannot find a way to to this via api. Dispatch command uno:insertDocument needs arguments, but trying with standard-args as it works by writer-docs - fails: arg(0).name = Name arg(0).value = file:///. arg(1).name = Filter arg(1).name = impress8 Something missing?

Today at first I got errors, then could connect via UI by changeing the IP - so, not use 127.0.0.1 but the static IP-Adress of the PC: Neverthless - using my code (see below) I always get the following error: Type:com.sun.star.sdbc.SQLException Message: Can`t connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10013) Even when I changed the IP on complete different IP-Numbers (existing and non existing) - the Error-Message is still the same )(with IP 127.0.0.1 - localhost) My MySQL-Server is working fine, I can connect via MySQL Administrator and even it works today using the JDBC Driver instead of the nativ driver. The following code works fine last week - not any more today. Any suggestions? function TIMM_getConnection() dim oCon as variant 'Connection-Objekt dim oDM as variant 'TreiberManager dim dbprop(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue dbprop(0).name = user dbprop(0).value = SWB dbprop(1).name = password dbprop(1).value = swb oDM = createUnoService(com.sun.star.sdbc.DriverManager) oCon = oDM.getConnectionWithInfo(sdbc:mysql:mysqlc://127.0.0.1:3306/timm, dbprop()) oCon.setCatalog(timm) TIMM_getConnection = oCon End function Best regards Thomas -- ## Marketing deutschsprachiges Projekt ## http://de.openoffice.org - www.openoffice.org ## Vorstand OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. ## Mitglieder willkommen: www.OOoDeV.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@api.openoffice.org
Re: [api-dev] Problems with MySQL Connection Sun native Driver
Hey Fernand, thank you for your answer. Yes, this way works and I try this before, but I work on a customer extension and this is the badest option. What I did not understand is why it was working last week but not this week?? And why in any case the error-massage returns localhost (127.0.0.1)? By the way: inserting data-rows in different tables with forein keys seems to be a little bit tricky? To get the index (primery key) of the just inserted row I tried to use select from table last_inserted_id(), but unfortunatly it does not work. So I insert first a unigue string in a special field and use afterwards a select id from table where field='string' Then I complete the datarow and write afterwards the dependend rows to other tables - not really perform. How are you doing this job? best regards Thomas Fernand Vanrie schrieb: Thomas , To avoid problems like you desribed we nowadays uses the com.sun.star.sdb.DatabaseContext as a binding point to our MySQL server.

Re: [api-dev] doing getEmbeddedObject() on formulas slows down equation editor
Hi, Muddybeemer wrote: Hello, I am writing a Java Plugin that extracts the formula string from all the embedded OOOMath objects in a document.

Re: [api-dev] Page Style for a Dictionary
Hi Jonathan, Jonathan Kaye wrote: Hi all, I posted this several days ago on comp.openoffice.questions and haven't received anything I can use to solve the problem. Any ideas out there? This may be a tricky one. I am helping to produce a dictionary and things are nearing completion thanks to the outstanding support from the Openoffice groups. I've got an .odt file laid out exactly as it should be. Entries are in paragraph form using the hanging indent style. The only hard line breaks are to separate one entry from another. I need to create a unique header for each page. On the header we should see the first 3 characters of the first entry on the page and then the first 3 characters of the last entry on the page. Note that these are usually not the first and last lines, respectively since entries may run over (soft) page breaks; there are no hard page breaks in the document. I think I know how to left/right justify the 1st and last entry characters (using left and right tabs) but how do I get this into a header? It seems to be that creating a page style is the way to go. I don't think there's a way to find soft page breaks using a regular expression. What I want to know is does such a page style for dictionaries already exist? I don't want to reinvent the wheel here. If so, a link would be greatly appreciated. I've looked fairly hard for one but come up empty. If, indeed, none exist, then any hints about to create the page style (if that's the best way to do it) would be greatly appreciated. I'm using OOo3.1. I have asked around, and no we have no means of creating such a page style. Also no one could think off different means to produce a similar effect. Thus I'm afraid you are the first one who ever had told us about such need. :-( The only reasonable choice you have is to file a feature request about this, and hopefully it gets supported in the future. I do believe that this is really a very reasonable request. Do you know if it is possible in competitive products? If so you should also state this in the feature request as well!

[api-dev] Need Help on global event listener
Hey, I need some help in using a global event listener. What I want to do: Insert a writer-Document at a spezific position of another open writer Document. OK, inserting and so is not a üroblem, that works fine. But I want to open the document, with will be inserted, by double-click in file-explorer or via web-interface (Browser) My idea is to store the last used writer-instance in a global variable, check, if the new open document is one to insert (special name in Doc-Info), and - if it matched - close the document and insert it. So I register a GlobalEventListener and check, if the document onFocus is a writer-instance. If yes, I stored it in a variable, if it is still stored, I do nothing. If I open a new document, this get the focus, I check the name, if it is a matched Document, fine, then I want to insert it. Unfortuantly this is the end of my OOo-Instance - it goes away - everything... I cannot really find the problem, maybe someone can give me a hint? My code (in parts): ** global gel as object 'GobalEventBroadaster Service global oListener as object Sub StartListenerTest gel = createUnoService(com.sun.star.frame.GlobalEventBroadcaster) oListener = CreateUnoListener( DocumentListener_,com.sun.star.document.XEventListener ) gel.addEventListener( oListener) End Sub Sub DocumentListener_notifyEvent( o as object ) on error goto ende if o.EventName = OnFocus then if thisComponent.supportsService(com.sun.star.text.TextDocument) then ' do something oDoc = thisComponent ' Pos1 ' bring another instane of an open Writer-Document in forground oWriterAkt.getCurrentController().frame.ContainerWindow.setFocus() ' insert a Document in this Document on ViewCursor Position ' ... ' close actual Document oDoc.close(true) ' Pos2 end if end if ende: end sub *** I tried to remove the Listener at pos1 ( sel.removeEventListener( oListener) ) and afterwards register it again at Pos2 - no effect. The hole system is very instable - even if I remove the oDoc.close() line.

Hi all, Juergen Schmidt wrote: Hi Per, i would say it is possible but i am no expert in this area and probably Thomas Lange can provide some more details. The integration is done via UNO interfaces and it is possible to provide an own implementation for them. Juergen Per Eriksson wrote: Hi, Can dictionary technology companies integrate their proprietary data in an extension NOT using the Hunspell technology, but writing their own engine? Companies having dictionary data and wanting to develop solutions for OpenOffice.org might not be able to transform it into Hunspell data. Thanks a lot for your help, First let's assume that there is the usual confusion about dictionaries and spell checkers, including user dictionaries. I assume - that you don't want to write a dictionary for the existing Hunspell spell checker - and that you don't want to just add one or more user-dictionaries Provided the above, what you want to do is to implement a spell checker on your own! For that there is a documentation which was already used to create the first OOo spell checker: http://sw.openoffice.org/drafts/linguistic_howto.html#1.SpellcheckerimplementationHOWTO|outline And that can as well be done in an extension. The sample code however makes use of some libraries that can no be used with extensions. But the differences should not be too troublesome. Also for OOo 3.01 we are working on integration for grammar checking (or better called proof reading) within the Writer application. That API is already functional but the framework still misses some implementations. Thus sentence based checking will be available as well. However that API is not yet finalized and may undergo minor changes in the future. Thus it will be possible to make use of it but if API changes are happening you would be required to update your extension.

Re: [api-dev] Implementing UNO service as singleton
Hi Marcin, Maybe this link will be helpfull: http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/articles/designpatterns/index.html To me it looks as if it covers all related problems. Other similar link http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2003/jw-0425-designpatterns.html http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2003/jw-0425-designpatterns.html?page=2 At a quick glance at them I also noted the topic of sharing only one instance between different JVM or processes. Maybe you like to check that out as well. Thomas Hi, I'm implementing a class that implements a known OOo service (actually, several ones, but the important one is XGrammarChecker). The problem is that the class is instantiated many times in OOo whenever a UI item is used, and the instances created do not share data. So I think I should guarantee that the service is instantiated only once per OOo instance. As far as I understand, I need to make a singleton class for this purpose. The docs (if one can call it docs) refer to writing an IDL spec which is not useful for implementing a known UNO service, so I think in this case writing IDL is completely superfluous. All I want from the class is that it's created only once per JVM in OOo (the code is in Java). What should I do to make my class a one-instance class? Is it enough to add some registry code to __writeRegistryServiceInfo? You can find the whole code in our CVS repo: http://languagetool.cvs.sourceforge.net/languagetool/JLanguageTool/src/java/de/danielnaber/languagetool/openoffice/Main.java?view=markup Anyway, if there is a better or easier way to share implementation data of multiple instances, I could use it as well but I think that for performance purposes, it's wise to have only a single instance of my service - it's a grammar checker that will be run in the background thread in Writer, and instantiating the class is somewhat costly.

Hi rony, Rony G. Flatscher schrieb: [..] Platform is Windows XP SP 3. [..] However, this does not work at all. Tried all variations (system file path, URL, with and without trailing slash, feeding the directory path exactly like the service returns it). It is a bug of Windows - i guess, you use the windows own dialogs? Change to OpenOffice.org own dialogs (Extras - options - OOo - general) and it will work :-) Actually, using setDisplayDirectory() works, as a getDisplayDirectory() thereafter will return the set directory. However, the dialog does not pick that directory but displays the root. It is set correct, but Windows could not use it :-( Haven't found an issue on this so I am wondering whether someone knows what one is supposed to do beyond what the documentation says? No issue, because not a problem of OpenOffice.org. best regards Thomas -- ## Marketing deutschsprachiges Projekt ## http://de.openoffice.org - www.openoffice.org ## Vorstand OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. ## Mitglieder willkommen: www.OOoDeV.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[api-dev] Problems with insertDocument
Hey, I do have some strange problems using insertDocument. Maybe someone can give me some advise? Situation: I do have two writer Documents (lets call them MasterDoc and Doc2). In all documents my Standard charFont ist Arial, the properties of OOo even shows Arial as a standard font for all selections. Now, I am using insertDocumentFromURL() to insert Doc2 in my MasterDocument. It works fine - but afterwards the Paragraph-style Standard of my MasterDoc is changes and charFont is now Times New Roman Therefor the hole formating of the document looks real strange. By the way - the same happend, when I insert the doc via Gui. OK, I can change the CharFontName of the Paragraph style back to Arial after inserting the document - but all Paragraph styles, who are not based on Standard are still in Times New Roman. I tried to find the reason (I never use Times New Roman) or a property to fix it - I find nothing and do not really have more ideas. Additional information: All documents are converted MS Word documents - so I am afraid, there is still some information left - but how can I get it out?

[api-dev] Question to Thread [ ImageURL in a UnoControlImageControlModel]
Hey guys, I tried to solve a very similar problem as discribed in a thread showing in mid of march, title: ImageURL in a UnoControlImageControlModel author: Fernand Vanrie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fernand wrote, he has a solution and it works fine, but unfortuantly I cannot get it to work. Short indroduction: I want to show in a dialog (ImageControl) embeded graphic-objects (Bitmaps) of an word-document. The solution of Fernand was: sub Render oDialogControl = createUnoService( com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlDialog ) oRenderer = createUnoService(com.sun.star.graphic.GraphicRendererVCL) Dim sRect as new com.sun.star.awt.Rectangle sRect.X = 0 sRect.Y = 0 sRect.Width = 800 sRect.Height = 600 oRenderer.setPropertyValue(DestinationRect, sRect) 'the renderer shall paint to the dialog window xray odialog oDialogControl = Odialog oRenderer.setPropertyValue(Device, oDialogControl.Peer.createGraphics.Device) aArgs(0).Name = GraphicRenderer aArgs(0).Value = oRenderer xExporter = createUnoService( com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicExportFilter ) xray odocument.drawpage xExporter.setSourceDocument( odocument.drawpage.getbyindex(5)) oPaintListener = CreateUnoListener(MyDialog_, com.sun.star.awt.XPaintListener) oDialogControl.Peer.addPaintListener( oPaintListener ) odialog.execute 'oDoc.close(true) end sub sub MyDialog_windowPaint(oEvt) if oEvt.count 0 then exit sub orenderer.render(oPreviewGraph) end sub sub MyDialog_disposing(oEvt As Object) end sub But I think, this is only a part of his code. I did not get it to work. I know the original code out of the forum - but even this did not work. As I understand - maybe Fernand can help? - the xExporter object is not used here? What is oPreviewGraph? An Inputstream? a graficObject - and how did you get it? I get an error at this point - and it stopps in a endless loop, only to stop by killing the task - not really productiv for learning. So, is it possible to get the whole code so that I can understand how its work? Or can someone else give me a shot help how to show embedded Graphics easy in a dialogs-control? My solution at the time is to export the graphic to an external file and then use the URL proberty to import the graphic to the Control. It works, but I think, there must be an easier way.

Re: [api-dev] Get Actual Height of Frame Problems
Hi Kent, I am still having a running battle with getting the actual height of a frame. I thought I had a workaround, but it is buggy, or probably I am doing something wrong. If I never mess with the selection then it works. But as soon as I start setting the selection, it stops working. It fails on goto range. I have tried passing goto range every type of conceivable cursor or range, and I always get com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException: no text selection. Does anyone have any ideas? What about a slightly different approach? For example, if I make the textframe selected is there no way I can get its height throught the dispatcher? The height is there in the statusbar. There is only one working solution, to introduce a new property: http://so-web.germany.sun.com/iBIS/servlet/edit.ControlPanel?tid=i63211 It should work when the mentioned CWS got integrated.

Re: [api-dev] Two little suggestions ad http://codesnippe ts.services.openoffice.org/snippet.dtd
two short remarks on http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/snippet.dtd. * ATTLIST for ELEMENT snippet: o Starting with OOo 2.0 there are two officially supported scripting languages missing from the valid values for the language attribute: BeanShell and JavaScript. Due to the availablity of the scripting framework additional scripting languages are possible, like ooRexx (in beta). Also, XSL is now listed as a language on the snippet site and would be missing from this DTD. As additional scripting languages can be made available for which nutshell examples could be supplied, the values for the language attribute should be maintained accordingly. To be able to supply snippets until the language attribute is updated a value of Other may be helpful together with maybe a new CDATA attribute otherLanguage (or the like) to allow naming the new/unsupported language. 1. Yes you are right, that I forgot to add the XSL-Language to the Snippet- DTD when I added XSL-Support to snippet page 2. Not long time we discussed ago about adding new languages and came from my point-of-view to the following conclusion: a. At the moment we concentrate on the most used languages b. We change the snippet-page design from a programming view to a problem centric view c. We want to port every snippet to every language d. We discuss adding new languages 3. Adding new languages Only adding them to the snippet-DTD is not enough we also have to provide Syntax-Highlighting for those languages which means creating VIM-Highlight-File which knows how to highlihgt syntax * ATTLIST for ELEMENT operating-systems o Same reasoning as with snippet: there are operating systems with OOo ported to them that are unlisted, e.g. OS/2 and eComStation, possibly AIX and the like. Hence the attribute name should allow for Other and possibly add a new CDATA attribute other-operating-system to be able to denote the operating system. [BTW, shouldn't the ATTLIST denote operating-systems (with a trailing s to match the element's name for which the attributre list gets defined)?] I'll take a look and add them Tom Regards, ---rony -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen?

Re: [api-dev] Returnvalues from Macros
But I think if you are calling a OOBasic-Macro e.g. from Java you need to invoke the ScriptingFramework don't you? So maybe the snippet should deal with calling a Macro from some UNO-Binding e.g. C++, Java, Python, ... and fetching its return value. Tom --- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --- Von: G.

Re: [api-dev] unable to invoke a BeanShell Macro from an uno-package
Hi Christoph,
Christoph Lutz wrote:
Hi,
I have got a question regarding the scripting-framework and uno-packages
and I hope this is the correct list since the list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
seems to be inactive. If not, please hint me to the correct list.
I want to deploy and invoke scripting-framework-macros within
uno-packages. After installing a package via unopkg add, the
invokation of the macro is done via a URL that I pass to the
swriter-command in the commandline. Thus I am convinced to have
everything done like documented in the Developers Guide (OOo 2), I get
an error message Library Library1 not found! and the macro doesn't start.
Let me try to describe how I got there:
1) I used the default HelloWorld-macro one gets when createing a new
BeanShell-macro using Tools-Macros-Organize Macros--BeanShell /
create... I stored the macro called Macro1.bsh in the Library1 and
attached it to a new writer-document.
2) I stored the writer document and extracted the directory
Scripts/BeanShell/Library1 from the zipped document.
These steps are just to get a valid test-macro Macro1.bsh in a valid
Library1 with a valid parcel-descriptor.xml. The next steps are about
to create a simple uno-package that provides the macro:
3) I created a new temporary directory as a container for my new
uno-package. I copied the extracted directory Library1 into the new
temporary directory.
4) Now I created a new directory called META-INF within the temporary
directory and added the following manifest.xml-file:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
!DOCTYPE manifest:manifest PUBLIC -//OpenOffice.org//DTD Manifest
1.0//EN Manifest.dtd
manifest:manifest
manifest:file-entry
manifest:media-type=application/vnd.sun.star.framework-script
manifest:full-path=Library1/
/manifest:manifest
This structure is as documented on page 1075 in the DevGuide 2.
5) I bundled (zipped) the files in the temporary directory to
test.uno.pkg and installed the package using unopkg add
pathto/test.uno.pkg. A subsequent unopkg list produced the
following output:
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 1.9.79\programunopkg list
all deployed user packages:
Name: test.uno.pkg
URL:
vnd.sun.star.expand:$UNO_USER_PACKAGES_CACHE/uno_packages/A.tmp_/test.uno.pkg

Description: UNO Package Bundle

is registered: yes
Media-Type: application/vnd.sun.star.framework-script
Description: BeanShell Bibliothek
}
6) now I tried to invoke the new macro using the following
URL-parameter-string for the swriter command:
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 1.9.79\programswriter
vnd.sun.star.script:Library1.Macro1.bsh?language=BeanShelllocation=user:uno_package/test.uno.pkg
the macro can be invoked by
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 1.9.79\programswriter
vnd.sun.star.script:Library1.Macro1.bsh?language=BeanShelllocation=user:uno_packages/test.uno.pkg
There was only a simple typo, you wrote 'uno_package' instead of
'uno_packages'. Nevertheless the macro won't run, but the office
unfortunately crashes. I wrote #i49388# for the crash.
I got the following error-messages (translated from the german version):
A scripting-framework error occured when trying to execute the BeanShell
script Macro1.bsh
Message: Library Library1 not found.
The URL-string I used is documented on Page 1067 in the DevGuide 2, so I
think it should be correct.
Have I done something wrong or can you confirm I have done everything
correct, so I can submit a bug?
Every hints are welcome! Today I used OOo 1.9.m79 but I had the same
experience with version 1.9.m100.
Thank you very much!
best regards,
Christoph Lutz
Even after #i49388# is fixed, please be aware of the fact, that your
macro won't run in the context of your document. Invoking macros
from commandline is done asynchronously, which means that the macro
might run before the document is fully loaded.
If you want to run the macro in the document context, add the macro
to your document and create an event binding.

Re: [api-dev] bug in windows OOo 1.1.4 bootstrap - InvocationTargetException
Hi Mike, We decided to go for a) and I don't really see any problems with it. You mentioned the problem with OOo 1.1.x which always writes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. This is a bug and very unfortunate. I think this bug cannot be fixed in OOo 1.1.x but probably I'm wrong. Therefore I only see two solutions. Either you remove all OOo 1.1.x installations from the system or you delete the registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. as a workaround for your current problem you can try the following. Install your OOo 1.1.4 as network installation, that means '.\setup -net -alluser'. After that you make your user installation without parameters '.\setup'. Note, that the second .\setup must be called from your program directory, which was created by the network installation. Then the registry key is written to HKLM instead of HKCU.

As far as the error reporting to the user, this could be done. But, maybe I wasn't clear because I made some points in previous emails. If a user has an installation of OOo 1.1.x and 1.9.x on their machine. and my application requires 1.9.x, I really think the Bootstrap (or Loader to be more specific) needs to do it's best to find the 1.9.x installation. As detailed in other messsages, under this situation, a client under Windows will always get the 1.1.x instance and a unix/linux client, I believe, will simply get whichever one was installed most recently. Telling a user that 1.9.x is required when they actually have it installed on their machine will make no sense to them, and I think exposes a flaw in the Loader. I tend to agree, that in the current situation it probably is most reasonable to find the installation with the highest version number, as per definition it is compatible to older ones anyway. Such a change can be done without API changes, IMHO open points are - does Java applications need to be rejarred to benefit from the change? - it is enough to adapt this change in the latest OOo builds or do we need to patch the 1.1 branch also? Thomas, may be you can shed some light on this? Obviously the best solution would just be some modifications for the current build. Kay There's no unique way to define the latest installation by using the version number. The problem is, that we have various products, e.g. OpenOffice.org, StarOffice and many others. Nobody knows now, if OpenOffice.org 5.0 will be newer than StarOffice 12. Therefore we decided, that the user or administrator makes the decision, which office is used by defining the default installation. In addition, the current implementation of the loader does only find the default installation. Therefore it's not possible to choose an installation from a list of all installations. There was some prototype which tried to find all installations on a system, but first of all this prototype did not find all installations and second this prototype had very poor performance (e.g. searching whole disks for a office installation takes time).

The automatic bootstrapping is designed in a way, that it may be usable for any kind of future UNO application, by slightly changing the implementation. Eventually having a central repository, where _all_ services shall be registered, certainly including different OOo installations. For UNO, and OOo is just a collection of UNO components, the right level for defining requirements is the SERVICE. Unfortunately such an automatic requirement checking is not available yet. To help with your problem of being dependent against a particular OOo version, wouldn't the problem be solved by just reporting that a particular service is not available and by giving some hints for diagnostic purposes?

Re: [api-dev] windows bootstrap against multiple installed versions - 1.x will always trump newer version
Hi Mike, you're right. I had some discussion with some experts here, and the problem is, that when installing OOo 1.1.4 with /NET there's no registry key written to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. When a user starts the user installation, the registry key is written to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. As a real system integration (that means in this case writing keys to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) is only available since OOo 2.0, you can workaround this problem only by deinstalling OOo 1.1.4 or specifying the office installation as parameter.

Re: [api-dev] bug in windows Bootstrap when multiple Oo's are installed?
This can't be changed anymore. Regardless which key is used we would break compatibility by using a new one in the next version (changes for OOo2.0 are too late now) just to avoid possible problems with outdated versions that will get out of use in the near future. So a bug report would be a waste of time. But maybe the problem is not the key, I just heard that OOo1.1.4 *does* support the new bootstrapping and the key *is* a new one. Maybe Thomas can make this clear. So we need to know: which version of OOo1.x exactly did you use? The new bootstrap mechanism was introduced in SO7 PP3 (I think this is OOo 1.1.2) for Java only and in OOo 2.0 for Java and C++. Also the NEW registry key was introduced with those versions. As Mathias already wrote, it's too late to change the default behaviour of the bootstrap mechanism, as this would break compatibility. Looking at your stack trace it seems, that your OOo 1.x installation was found and the bootstrap method was called. In the past there were several bug fixes in the bootstrap method, and I assume that your OOo 1.x installation didn't have all of the bug fixes. E.g. the bootstrap method was not working, if your installation path contained spaces (e.g. C:\Program Files\OpenOffice1.1.2).

Hi, would it be easier to use SWT?

Easy to create (GUI editor, easy to handle (API), easy to deploy (with UNO packages), language independent, ... are only some of my wishes for the replacement ;-) Speaking of wishes... ;-) It would be cool to have an API compatible to Swing API. That way for Java coders the migration effort is nearly zero, and even for non-Java coders, the migration toward Java Swing after UNO (if they so desire) would be relatively painless. I would like to see Swing itself be integrated. Of course, that only works for Java. This needed two issues fixed: 1st: A portable and official way of adding Swing components to non-Java parent windows. 2nd: Getting the OOo and Swing look and feel the same for the different planforms.

The good point about this is that you can group together things like RightMargin and LeftMargin but for someone who is looking for a property it would be much more useful to have the properties sorted alphabetically. What do the others think about it? Nobody seems to have an opionion about it. Ok, my opinion is also not helpful. Either way can be useful.
