Michael,
This is a very interesting question and I spent an hour or so and was
not able to solve the problem.
I am copying the dev mailing list to see if there are any clues there:
The problem:
Assume a draw document with a single shape selected.
I want to delete the single shape.
The code shown below obtains a reference to the selected shape from the
current controller (because it is selected).
So, if I have a reference to a shape that is inserted into a draw page,
how can I delete it?
I tried oShape.Dispose(), which crashed OOo.
I tried oShape.getParent().Remove(oShape), which crashed OOo.
Original code:
Sub Main
Dim oShapeName as String
Dim oDoc As Object
oDoc = ThisComponent
oDocCtrl = oDoc.getCurrentController()
' See what is currently selected.
oSelection = oDocCtrl.getSelection()
If IsEmpty( oSelection ) Then
MsgBox( "Zum Löschen muss eine Grafik makiert sein" )
Exit Sub
EndIf
If oSelection.getCount() > 1 Then
MsgBox( "Bitte nur eine Grafik zum löschen auswählen" )
Exit Sub
EndIf
oOrigShape = oSelection.getByIndex( 0 )
oShapeName = oOrigShape.getName()
print oShapeName
REM The Delete Function doesn't work
'oDoc.Remove(oOrigShape)
End Sub
Nice to hear from you again
I am overly busy (nothing new there), but I will take a quick look.

Hi Andrew!
How are you? Hope you are find.
I think you know me, because you helped me with my macro for inserting
a costum shape. It is working great and i updated the macro with a
database and i am so proud of it. But now to the problem: If i insert
a graphic in the draw document i make a entry in my database, but the
problem is, if i delete a shape, i cant remove the database row. So i
wrote a macro, where i can select a single shape and get the name of
the shape (for deleting the database row), but the problem is, i can't
remove the shape from the document. Do you know the methode for
removing graphics?
Remove a graphic from a Draw document. Did you know that I cover this in
my published book? Did you know that the Draw and Impress chapter are
available as a free download from the publisher?
here is the macro which i want to use for deleting:
Sub Main
Dim oShapeName as String
Dim oDoc As Object
oDoc = ThisComponent
oDocCtrl = oDoc.getCurrentController()
' See what is currently selected.
oSelection = oDocCtrl.getSelection()
If IsEmpty( oSelection ) Then
MsgBox( "Zum Löschen muss eine Grafik makiert sein" )
Exit Sub
EndIf
If oSelection.getCount() > 1 Then
MsgBox( "Bitte nur eine Grafik zum löschen auswählen" )
Exit Sub
EndIf
oOrigShape = oSelection.getByIndex( 0 )
oShapeName = oOrigShape.getName()
print oShapeName
REM The Delete Function doesn't work
oDoc.Remove(oOrigShape)
End Sub
Yeah, I do not expect you to be able to remove a shape this way.
best regards!
Your Michael
