Re: [dev] suppress popup of InputFields when opening a template
Hi Christoph, Christoph Lutz schrieb: Hi Mathias, is there a way to suppress the popup of InputFields when I open a template that contains InputFields? No. If a document or a template is opened via UI all dialogs are allowed by default. Suppressing them needs dispatch interception but I don't see the point in doing it. Can you explain? As a migration-strategy we would like to do a soft-migration from MS-Office to OOo. This means we have users working parallel either with MSO or OOo and with document-templates in .dot AND .ott-Format. There are about (estimated) 3000 dot-templates which should be accessed from OOo and don't contain complex content, but Word's Text-FormFields. As you surely know, Word's simple Text-FormFields which are very common in all of our .dot-Templates are mapped to InputFields in OOo which behave different. The two main advantages of Word's TextFields are: 1) Direct editing is possible (without popup) which provides a much better overview of the document and the editing-result. 2) you can navigate through the Fields using the TAB-Key. 3) the user can decide by himself when it's time to fillout the Fields. OOo's popping-up InputFields are much more annoying in this point: 1) the automatic popup overlays the interesting field which harms the overview of the document. 2) navigation with TAB is not possible and pressing Enter in the dialog causes the cursor to jump to the next line, not to the next InputField. There is no easy way to navigate to the next InputField leafing the finges on the keyboard (you have to use the mouse to press OK - YES, 5 times pressing SHIFT+TAB works also, but this is not a real alternative) 3) You can not decide when you want to fill the fields as the popup comes automatically on load-time. Of course, InputFields work, but our users would not accept them in the direct competition between MSO and OOo! Since we don't expect OOo to provide the missing feature in the near future, we decided to provide a workaround for the unwanted behaviour of InputFields: We would like to collect all inputFields and join all the single dialog-windows into one large (selmade AWT) dialog-window that is diplayed beside(!) the office-document. Users can fill in the values und use the tab-key as used. There will be no window overlaying the document. Why not converting the input-fields automatically into user fields and resaving the templates, so that you can use your (modified) program (of course before the user work with them)? The corresponding program listens on the ON_NEW-Event of the GlobalEventDispatcher, but this Event is only called AFTER the automatic popup of inputFields. I am asking the above question, because I want my code to run without the automatic popup. Hope this helped to understand my point of course this doesn't help at the moment, but please take a look at the issue forms handling in OO 2.x/3.0 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65951 I appreciate any comments.

[dev] Play slideshow without User Input
I'd like to write a application that opens a PowerPoint presentation and
plays it to the end, all without user intervention. I've written a Java
program (based on the PresentationDemo sample - see below) that:
Opens the presentation
For each page, sets the Change = 1 and Duration = 5
Sets IsAutomatic = False in the Presentation property set. Together
with above displays each page for 5 seconds then moves on.
Starts the presentation.
However, this will stop as soon as the first animated shape is encounter
and waits for user input before animating and proceeding (which is
unacceptable for my application since there will be no user input).
Explicitly disabling the Animations Allowed property (both in the UI and
from code) doesn't appear to do anything - the presentation still waits
for user click before proceeding. Have I misunderstood what this
feature will do?
One possible solution is to set Custom Animation ~ Effect ~ Start =
After Previous and set the Effect Options ~ Timing ~ Delay = a few
seconds, applying these settings to each relevant animated shape.
Unfortunately, I can't find a way of doing this through the API. Is
this method supported through the Java / C++ API?
Are there any other suggestions to accomplish hands off playing?
I'm currently using Java for prototyping, and will rewrite in C++ once
complete. Running version 2.0.2 under FedoraCore4.
Thanks,
Andy

Re: [dev] Play slideshow without User Input
Hi Andy, in impress, each slide in the API supports the com::sun::star::animations::XAnimationNodeSupplier interface which returns you the time line for that slide. Just browse through that container hierarchic of the animation nodes and change the begin attribute from all note that have a begin of Timing::INDEFINITE to 0.0 (see com::sun::star::animations::XAnimationNode ) Regards, Christian Andy Cordwell wrote: I'd like to write a application that opens a PowerPoint presentation and plays it to the end, all without user intervention.

Re: [dev] Play slideshow without User Input
Christian,
Thanks for your suggestion - which I'm struggling to understand with my
limited OO knowledge!
I've got the XAnimationNode interface via the XAnimationNodeSupplier for
a slide (see code below). But I can't see how to obtain an iteration
interface so I can obtain the hierarchy of animation nodes.
Apologies if I've missed something obvious here ;)
Andy
XDrawPagesSupplier xDrawPagesSupplier =
(XDrawPagesSupplier)UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XDrawPagesSupplier.class,
xComponent );
XDrawPages xDrawPages = xDrawPagesSupplier.getDrawPages();
int i;
for ( i = 0; i xDrawPages.getCount(); i++ )
{
System.out.println( Page: + i );
XDrawPage xDrawPage = (XDrawPage)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XDrawPage.class, xDrawPages.getByIndex( i ));
XAnimationNodeSupplier animation_node_supplier =
(XAnimationNodeSupplier)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XAnimationNodeSupplier.class,
xDrawPage);
XAnimationNode animation_node =
(XAnimationNode)animation_node_supplier.getAnimationNode();
}

[dev] OO Write Customize problem
Hi Firstly i will to thank you for informative articles that you write to make our life easier, keep up the good work. Question: OpenOffice version 2 Writer (Windows XP or 2000) I have customized OO Writer for my users so that when they want to open a specific OO document in my Delphi Application they can only open it with limited Menus, which is working 100%. I have even removed the customize menu from the Menu to prevent them from resetting back to factory settings but what i have realized is that there is a drop down button on the toolbar and when cliked, it display the Customize menu and i don't want this users to have this menu or button, so how do i go about removing it completly in a nutshell how do i remove/disable the customize button on the toolbar?? Thanking a million for your response.

[dev] Is it still worth to work on OpenOffice' gui toolkit?
Hello, I am a long-term openoffice user and to some degree a bit of gui performance fanatic. I dislike UIs which show tearing effects and don't perform well and just very few toolkits really make me happy performance-feeling whise. I just can speak for OOo running on Linux, which shows some ugliness when working with menus and some other small performance glitches. I would like to work on it in my vacation, however does it still make sence to work on the currently used toolkit (vcl or however its called)? I read many articles that OOo will move to a self-written abstraction layer which uses underlaying widgets. In which timeframe will this happen, or is this still planned at all.
