Re: [dev] Adding menus / menu items at Runtime
Hi Kent, I found this helpful: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/various_topics/HowTo_modify_context_menu.pdf however this may only be relevant to the context menu. yes, its only for the context menu. I will throw a glance on it.

Re: [dev] Adding menus / menu items at Runtime
Hi Carsten, My question is: is it possible to generate menus at runtime? We are using OOo2. If yes, do you have examples or know where I should start studying? I think I answered this question on the mailing list api.openoffice.org several times. I attached two small examples which modifies the menu bar of an application module. If you only want to do temporary changes, please use the transient example. Thanks a lot. I will try the transient example because only temporary changes are needed. Is it possible to do the same in Java? At the moment I am searching the ML archiv dev@api.openoffice.org for this topic. Thanks for the hint.

Re: [dev] Adding menus / menu items at Runtime
Hi Carsten, Thanks a lot. I will try the transient example because only temporary changes are needed. Is it possible to do the same in Java? Yes, you can also use Java. The example uses a UNO API, therefore you can use any supported language. sounds very good. At the moment I am reading your document http://specs.openoffice.org/ui_in_general/api/ProgrammaticControlOfMenuAndToolbarItems.sxw and up to now it is easy to read. If I have further questions should I post them to dev@api.openoffice.org or on this list?

[dev] Writer behavior on high res widescreen displays [feature request]
Hi, I'm not a developer on the openoffice project, and I probably won't have the time to become one, so this is mainly just a feature request for writer. The market for widescreen displays both for laptops and desktop computers is increasing. These usually have a rather high resolution. My display has 1920x1200 pixels. This opens the possibility for viewing two full pages side by side in writer. Both word and writer normally displays pages, one under another with no possibility for utilizing the high horizontal resolution of todays widescreen displays. This is an example of how I would like writer to behave on these displays: -- -- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -- -- -- -- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -- -- -- -- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -- -- This is an example on how writer does behave: -- | | | | | | | | | | -- -- | | | | | | | | | | -- -- | | | | | | | | | | -- -- | | | | | | | | | | -- Each of these squares of |s and -s represents an A4 page.

No offence but this translation sucks :-) you must have been translating the wrong message :-) What he wants to know is if there is a (norwegian) 2.0.1 version of OpenOffice.org and why the pages he got when trying to download the version found at the no.openoffice.org site looked liek the site had been hacked! /Christian Andersson Robin Monks wrote: A rough translation of this message would go like: Hi I've been trying your OpenOffice 2.0.1 and it never prints as it appears while I'm editing it.

Re: [dev] Innbrudd på no.OOo's hjemmesi de?
first of all, you are writing to a mailing list that is english based, therefore most users in here will not understand what you have written. what you might have experienced is that the download of OOo 2.0 on no.openoffice.org links to the ftp site that holds the 2.0 norwegian build of OpenOffice.org, this build is not hosted on the main openoffice.org site. (btw I have nothing to do with the norwegian version, or any other version, I'm just an user reading the mailing list you have written to) however the links on the norwegian download pages seems to be wrong since they give an error 404 page from wha tI can see that build has been removed on the ftp site, and a newer build (2.0.1 rc5) can be downloaded instead here (on the same ftp-site) http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/devel/680/2.0.1-RC5/ fo windows you probably want to download OOo_2.0.1_windows_install_nb.exe for the bokmål version and OOo_2.0.1_windows_install_nn.exe for the nynorsk version /Christian Andersson Nils Nielsen wrote: Hei Forsøkte å finne ut om dere hadde OOo 2.0.1 klar.
