Re: [dev] OLE getCellByName error

[Jürgen Schmidt]

Hi,

getCellByName is a method of com.sun.star.text.XTextTable and this 
interface is not supported by a sheet.

getCellByPosition is your friend ;-)

Hello!
When i use the methode getCellByName with an OLE connection on an empty sheet in Calc it returns an error. When i use getCellByPosition it works. What do i wrong? 

lole_sheet.getCellByName("E5") 
Is E5 not a correct name for a cell?



lole_sheet.getCellByPosition(4,5)
that works.

Thanks for Help.

|regmerge| overwrites existing keys. However, a tool to delete existing 
keys would be nice to have, but there currently is none.


Hello, I found this information at 
http://udk.openoffice.org/faq.html#unmerge ... On the document foot the 
last modified date is "Wednesday May 1, 2002"... It's true? Is there no 
way to delete existing keys?


No, there unfortunately is no tool to do that.

Hi Cyrille

Without entering the debate as to whether using that particular compiler 
is acceptable or not, you should not need to spend money to get it, as 
it's if I understand correctly part of the toolkit released for free by MS:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/



yes, but reading
http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html

it is said (build requirements)
 A Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 Compiler. MS Visual C++ .net 2003 is 
mandatory, the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 is not usable.


is the link you pointed the one that is needed ?

[dev] ooimpress Grayscale/B&W Options wrong way round

[Gordon Jahn]

Howdy,

I've just joined this list and haven't looked at OOo code yet although I
have been building it in Gentoo for ages now so I'll apologise in
advance if I'm covering old ground or asking in the wrong place.

Anyway, I'm running OOo 2.0 beta build 104 on amd64 (Gentoo).  The first
thing I've noticed is that the B&W and grayscale options in ooimpress
are the wrong way round (grayscale renders B&W and vice versa).  I can't
find this in issuezilla (looking for grayscale and ooimpress) and I'd
quite like to submit a bug to issuezilla but I don't have the faintest
idea which component this would fall under.  Can anyone advise?

[dev] data source not XStorable

[Matthias Benkmann]

I'm trying to get the example from the Developer's Guide section
12.2.2  DataSources for adding a new data source to work:

   XSingleServiceFactory xFac =
(XSingleServiceFactory)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XSingleServiceFactory.class,
_rMSF.createInstance("com.sun.star.sdb.DatabaseContext"));

Object xDs = xFac.createInstance();
XStorable store = (
XStorable)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XStorable.class, xDs);

 I've tried it in Java and I've tried it in Basic:

  xFac = createUNOService("com.sun.star.sdb.DatabaseContext")
  dataSource = xFac.createInstance()
  MsgBox(dataSource.DBG_supportedInterfaces)

and both times I have the problem that the new data source returned by
 xFac.createInstance() does not implement XStorable. I've tried it
with OO 1.1.4 and 1.9.100 on 2 different computers. It just doesn't
work. Any ideas what's wrong?  Do I have do prepare the
DatabaseContext in some way (left out of the Dev Guide example) before
it will give me useful data sources?

[Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems Germany]

Hi Matthias,

*sigh*
We realized some heavy conceptual problems after the Developer's Guide
was in print, so we couldn't adjust it anymore ...

query the data source for XDocumentDataSource, and call its
getDatabaseDocument method. The object returned there is the one
implementing the XStorable.

Basically, the data source as described in the DevGuide was split up
into a model and a data source, where the former implements all the
document-related things.

Re: [dev] OpenOffice compiler

[Volker Quetschke]

Hi Laurent, Cyrille,


Then it appears it might be my turn to stand corrected... But on that
page it states that "These are the same compiler and linker that ship
with Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional" (regarding the C/C++
compiler and linker) so I'm a bit puzzled as to which magical features
we need for compilation.

The magical features are MFC and ATL. I spend quite a lot of time
getting an early 680 to build with VCTK (Hint search issuezilla for
VCTK) and got it to run with the libraries from my .NET2003.

But that was rather academic because you need the .NET2003 (VS|C++)
license to be allowed to use these. (And, yes I know that some libraries
come with the PSDK, but not these ( not for x86, you might be lucky if
you try a "port" to AMD64/Xeon :( ) are not included.


Then again, I was under the impression that
the inclusion of the optimising compiler as opposed to some downgraded
one in the toolkit was a recentish move, so possibly the comment is
not accurate. It would have to be tested. At any rate, I apologise if
I caused confusion on this topic.

The compiler is fine, unfortunately MS omitted some crucial libs, so
that you are forced to buy a "real" version.

(As a sidenote, you can buy the cheap (non-optimising) .NET professional
C++ compiler, and add the compiler (the programs) from VCTK and update
your installation to a full optimized compiler installation with all
libraries ;) )


There is no problem for me :)
And i'm very happy that you pointed the toolkit

in fact, after switching to linux to compil OOo (as it was far more

No, the page is very up to date. If you find something that is missing
in the build instructions, please post, and I'll add it.

[dev] Specifications by Wiki

[David Fraser]

Hi

On issue 12179 I started doing some work and was pleased to see a real 
OOo developer decide to take it over.


However I was quite surprised to read him say "Please no implementation 
before we have a ui spec. ... So please no hacking until we have a spec 
to see what requirements we have for the code."


I think this process can easily scare new developers off, and it has 
been discussed before for this reason.


So I thought I would try something constructive.

On http://www.ooowiki.de/ I have converted the Specification Guide and 
Template to wiki pages.
You can then use the Template to create new wiki pages (actual 
Specifications).
The idea is that this will ease collaborative development of 
Specifications, and then it should make it easier for people to get 
involved in the process. Afterwards, it can be converted to a normal 
Specification if required.


I'm interested to hear what other people think of this process. It will 
be good to see how it works with this issue, maybe it can be adapted to 
others.
It may also be a nice way to improve the guide as there is a broken link 
etc.


Links:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12719

There is a huge amount of common code this is why it is not worth
separating the applications.

sw is the source dir for writer,  sc for the calc part.  This is only a
very small portion of the whole.  Now what were you actually wanting to
study?

So - linkoo avoids 'soffice.bin'; you just want to copy
unxlngi6.pro/bin/soffice to soffice.bin in your installset on re-build.
I believe if you symlink it then it may run, but gdb will get horribly
confused when you try to debug it [ at last attempt that is ;-].

[dev] Integrate Flash movies in Impress

[Patrick Brockmann]

Hi all,

Integrating a Flash movie is a really nice feature
you can achieve with PowerPoint 2000 by
following the technote from Macromedia:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14235

I would like to know if this feature could be added to next Impress 
OpenOffice release ?


As you can add controls directly into Flash movies, it becomes easy
to control speed and frame display inside a presentation without
any other tools.
An exemple of Flash animations with controls can be found at:
http://dods.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ipcc/comm/sresa2_all_cnrm_ipsl.swf
Those Flash movies have been created with swftools
from http://www.quiss.org/swftools/

Thanks for any information on this topic

[dev] Community Contributor Representative Election!

[Louis Suarez-Potts]

All,

Nominations are now open for candidates for the Community Contributor  
Representative (CCR) to the Community Council.  Nominations will  
commence immediately, today, 10 June 2005 and last for one week,  
ending 17 June 2005.


* What is the CCR? He or she is the at-large community representative  
to the Council, which is OOo's governing body. The Council (also  
called CC) sets policy, resolves disputes, and so on.  The CCR would  
ideally present issues to the CC that the community at large finds  
important, as well as otherwise help the community get its voice  
heard by the Council.  The term is for 6 months (more or less) and  
there is not that much work required, no more than a few hours a  
month, mostly for IRC meetings and e-mail discussions.


* Who is eligible? Any registered member of OpenOffice.org who has  
demonstrated a commitment to the project and is known by the  
community but is not an Accepted Projects lead or co-lead.  (Accepted  
Projects are those listed at ).  A good candidate would be someone who can advocate  
on behalf of endusers but who is also (at least minimally) informed  
of the technical and logistical issues involved in producing  
OpenOffice.org.


The position can be interesting and even fun.  Meetings are seldom  
boring and you do get an insight into how OOo is governed.  There are  
a lot of policy issues coming up and this is your chance to affect  
their outcome.


* How do we proceed?  The charter creating the Council is fairly  
clear. (See http://council.openoffice.org/CouncilProposal.html)  The  
various project leads select 2-3 candidates from the names submitted  
by the community.  The candidates are then voted on by the community.  
"Community" means registered OpenOffice.org members.


Here are the groundrules for the process:

* It's a two-week, three-step process.

• Seven days to obtain nominations from the community, three (or  
so) days for the leads to select candidates, four days for voting on  
the candidates. Voting will be done via the Web.


* All nominees must be registered OOo members.

* You may nominate yourself.

* No campaigning.  If you are not already known by the community,  
then you probably ought not to consider standing for election.


* Send a brief (75 word) abstract stating who you are and what you do  
for OOo to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  After discussion by the  
project leads, we will post the ones selected to the Council homepage  
() and post notices to  
announce@openoffice.org, discuss@openoffice.org,  
users@openoffice.org, dev@openoffice.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
lang.openoffice.org, and [EMAIL PROTECTED], and ask that  
all Project Leads inform their communities of the election.


* If elected, congratulations! :-)  The next Council meeting will be  
held in July. After that we will try to adhere to a fortnightly (once  
every two weeks) schedule.


Cheers,
Louis

PS Note that this is but one of several other elections being run  
concurrently.

[dev] OLE objects in sx* files

[suzume]

I found that OLE objects are stored inside the zipped package as 
"Object nb" where nb is a number. And without any extension.


By taking a closer look, they seem to be MS files (excel in my case) 
but even though I converted the main file (powerpoint in my case) to 
sxi format the object files don't seem to have been converted.


Is there any specific reason for that ?

Is there a way to make sure even object are converted to sx* formats so 
that they can be read by an XML parser ?


Is there a way to access their contents programatically without first 
converting them one by one ?
