Sidebar for Developers
Hi, I have created a new Wiki page for developers how want to add new panels to the sidebar [1]. At the moment it focuses on the explanation of a demo extension that with some Java code shows an analog clock in a new "Tools" deck. The part that explains how a sidebar panel extension works in general has to be extended in the future. But it's a start. Until I find a better place, maybe in the SDK, the source code (as Eclipse project) [3] and OXT file [2] can be found on my apache people directory. I also have a question for those of you with a better understanding of Mediawiki: do we have an extension that allows syntax highlighting of XML and Java code snippets?

Thank you for this work. I have the following questions: 1. Can you please still give an example of normal controls? (Buttons, combo boxes, ...) 2. Your example is implemented in Java, there are also ways in StarBasic? Maybe it also needs a 'bridge' in Java or C++, but there is a way? (With 'bridge' I mean for example technically to provide a new UNO-service, which would then allow access with StarBasic.)

Currently it is not possible to use Basic in the context of the sidebar. But it would definitely a good enhancement. Something comparable to UnoDialogProvider where you can use a dialog xml description as input ... There are probably more things that have to be taken into account. For example layouting etc. Nothing planned or designed yet. Nothing that can be achieved for AOO 4.0.

Or is there a Such in the SDK already? there is at least a custom panel example in the SDK in C++ Andre provided the sources of his demo, the important pieces are there and how to use UNO awt controls can be find in several examples in the SDK, the wiki or the net.

Example: script:macro-name="vnd.sun.star.script:mottco.Module1.hilfe_aufrufen?language=Basi c&location=application" is a clear indication of where the macro is to be found, so you could also install separately from your sidebar extension, but I hope that you can grab it directly into the SideBar extension. That's what I meant. I mean: The Strukture of your extension is: icons META-INF registry <...>.jar description.xml and I hope this can be: myMacro icons META-INF registry <...>.jar description.xml and the contents of "myMacro" is then: Script.xlb Dialog.xlb Module1.xba Dialog1.xdl ... where Module1.xba is the starbasic code.

Your question has nothing to do with the topic of the thread.

Here is a very simple example for a non-modal dialog:
Sub status()
warten_model = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlDialogModel")
warten_model.setPropertyValue("Width", 150) '343
warten_model.setPropertyValue("Height", 20)
warten_model.SetPropertyValue("Title","Bitte etwas Geduld")
oMod_warten =
warten_model.createInstance("com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlFixedTextModel")
With oMod_warten
.setPropertyValue("Name","warten1")
.setPropertyValue("PositionX",5) '192
.setPropertyValue("PositionY",5)
.setPropertyValue("Width",140)
.setPropertyValue("Height",13)
.setPropertyValue("Label","...")
End With
warten_model.insertByName("warten1", oMod_warten)
warten_dialog = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlDialog")
warten_dialog.setModel(warten_model)
oWin2 = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.awt.Toolkit")
warten_dialog.createPeer(oWin2, null)
warten_dialog.setVisible(True)
for i = 0 To 5 Step 10
warten_dialog.Model.getByName("warten1").Label = i & " Werte verglichen"
next i
warten_dialog.setVisible(False)
End Sub

I do not know

The extension function is very simple, there is a dialog with two text fields to enter a search string and a replacement text, and two buttons to start searching or replacing. The extension is for writer. So not much function but it is indeed primarily an example of integration in the sidebar This dialogue should now be implemented, he works as a sidebar, so: 2 text fields for entering 4 Label Fields 2 buttons to launch two Basic Macros Greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

So not much function but it is indeed primarily an example of integration in the sidebar This dialogue should now be implemented, he works as a sidebar, so: 2 text fields for entering 4 Label Fields 2 buttons to launch two Basic Macros I was somewhat but not entirely successful in turning your BASIC script into a sidebar panel. I have created an Eclipse project of the sidebar panel [1]. Run the 'oxt' target of the Ant build file to create the file SidebarBasicPanelDemo.oxt in the dist/ directory. Install this extension in a 4.* OpenOffice and restart. Now you should see in the sidebar tab bar a new entry with a gear icon. Click on it to swtich to the demo panel. What works is that the dialog is displayed as expected. Callbacks into the BASIC script work also. What does not work is that the BASIC script can not access the dialog for eg retrieval of the search strings. The reason for that is that the dialog is not created from the script in the 'Start_dialog' function but on the Java side of the implementation. I tried to call from Java into BASIC with the dialog object. The call works, but I did not get the public BASIC variable 'ts_dialog' to work. When you click on the 'Suche Nächsten' button then the ts_dialog value is empty again. But maybe this is a good thing, because every document has its own side bar and its own BASIC dialog. Using a single global variable to hold the dialog would not work. As I do not know OpenOffice BASIC well enough to know if and how object orientation works, I did not try to fix this. I also do not know how to change the event callbacks to pass parameters to the BASIC script. Without parameters, your BASIC script does not know from which instance of the dialog it has been called and thus could not retrieve the search string, even if it could access the dialogs. Using the BASIC dialog but do the implementation in Java would be much easier and more reliable.

Would it be possible for you use e.g. BeanShell, JavaScript, Pyhton, instead of AOO Basic to fetch the values in the Basic dialog one way or another?

Python should be no problem because it is a full language binding and you can implement UNO objects in Python. The problem is more with scripting languages where this is not possible. But anyway to support Basic here better probably more work is necessary and I don't see that this will happen soon. Any volunteers who are interested to work on a better support? Without having real detail knowledge I assume that we would need some helper in Basic to support the management of dialogs/sidebar per frame/document and to allow easy access to the underlying window controls... But in general I would concentrate on other more powerful languages like Java or Python instead of Basic.

Do you see a chance, we will discuss the details in German [*] and only the final result again in English, here on the mailinglist? Sure, we can discuss this in German off-list. I would prefer an asynchronous medium, like email. That should have been "... German, off-list." -Andre [*] We can communicate via PM or by telephone.

The Basic part > is your problem :-) Well it is more about the dispatch interface. If it becomes possible to write AOO Basic macros to excercise the task presented in a sidebar, then it would also mean that one could use any other, AOO-supported macro language (BeanShell, JavaScript, Python, ooRexx, ...), which would be cool! So Jörg, try your best and teach us how you could achieve your goal! :-) All the best for this project! ---rony - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
