Re: [dev] OLE, Source code generation and reflection ... the boring story ...
If you want to programmatically determine all types, you could use the com.sun.star.comp.stoc.RegistryTypeDescriptionProvider service. For example the climaker uses it to create all cli types from UNO types. Have a look at cli_ure/source/climaker/climaker_app.cxx. Eventually com.sun.star.reflection.XTypeDescriptionEnumeration.nextTypeDescription() is used to iterate over all available types. Hope that helps, Joachim Marten Feldtmann wrote: I'm still on a rather boring project here (actually I worked for this last year also but stopped that working and now I'm looking at that problem again) ... I try to connect VASmalltalk to OpenOffice via OLE. My approach was to get all the information from OpenOffice via reflection and then I try to produce Smalltalk code, which can be pretty nice used to do OpenOffice programming at least under Windows using OLE. One of my first problems to get a list of all services, constants, enum etc ... there is simply no way to get this via software control. Therefore I installed the SDK and parsed all files below the directory classes and I got a list with more than 3000 items - fine. Via this method and some reflection I get around 176 definitions for enums, constants and so on. Then I tried to get information about services and interfaces, but this sometimes has success (e.g 'com.sun.star.chart2.Title'), but sometimes not a single information can be retrieved (e.g. ''com.sun.star.chart2.DataPoint''). In the later case I always get VtUnknown error from the OLE subsystem. My attempts to get more meta information is either via the core reflection service or via an instance via beans.introspection but both classes can not deliver valid informations on most interfaces and services. Any idea how what the problem can be Marten - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] open office writer enhancement
Hi Cor, Cor Nouws wrote: Hi Vikas, VIKAS JAIN schreef: how to import a writer file into impress in OPEN OFFICE Copy in Writer and Edit|Paste special in Impress. Also in Writer: File|Send|Outline to presentation (however this seems to crash in 2.3) I think that was more a question about how to implement a filter. As I brought up the idea let me put it into context: the original question was how to implement a PPT export for Writer. I don't think that this is a good idea as Writer is about flow text and PPT files use slides, but let's put that aside for the moment. Unfortunately the OP also didn't tell us why (he thinks that?) he needs this. If you really wanted to have something like that it would be easier and perhaps even less useless ;-) to do it the other way around and import an odt file into Impress or first to load the Writer file as usual and then copy its content into an impress document via API. One could do it the hard way and implement a filter. But I'm afraid this is something I can't explain in a few sentences in a mailing list. But if Draw/Impress provided the internal clipboard API that Writer and Calc already support I would do it the following way: select some paragraphs or a whole page in a Writer document via API retrieve this as a Transferable object (internal clipboard API) create new slide in Impress document via API paste Transferable object into the slide (internal clipboard API) continue until end of Writer document This process simulates what happens when you manually copy/paste the stuff. It would be a simple and straightforward process that can work quite well if you have a Writer document with simple text only and where its text can be split into slide-compatible pieces. But for anything else this functionality wouldn't make much sense anyway ... Unfortunately first the Draw/Impress team needed to be convinced that it is time to implement the missing interface. ;-) That BTW would enable other developers to implement a nice multi clipboard extension for OOo.

Is there any value in the Office 2000/2004 doc file format that contains the date when the file was originally created. I realize you can do this by looking at the properties in the filesystem, but people can change this info. Well, like all ole2 file formats there are some properties in the SummaryInformationStream, i.e. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372045.aspx And also there is dttmCreated in the Document Properties area of the .doc, which is specific to msword. search for doc on wotsit.org to get the file format and then search the resulting documentation for dttmCreated. The summary properties are the easiest to extract with either the mswindows apis or libgsf for non-windows.

[dev] URGENT: serious bug in EIS removeModule
Hi there! A serious bug in the EIS removeModule feature has been discovered. Removing a module from a CWS does currently not only remove it from that CWS only but from all which have it. As a result please please check your open not yet integrated ChildWorkspaces wether they contain all modules you once have added. If a module is missing please drop me a note. A bugfix is on the way. Please do not use RemoveModule feature until further notice!!! Kind regards, Bernd Eilers - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] URGENT: serious bug in EIS removeModule
Hi there! affected module are: svx, sch, jurt, rdbmaker, shell, external If your CWS contained one of those modules it will likely be affected. We will try our best to collect the CWSs which contained these modules and try to fix the EIS database, stay tuned. Kind regards, Bernd Eilers Bernd Eilers wrote: Hi there!

See http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=76623. I suggest voting for the issue. (I am also forwarding this message to developers of Spreadsheet, hoping for their attention). Regards, K. Palagin. Kirill, I think that this must be a locales type of problem. If you look for these recent posts: Date Display Problem + Sudheer Satyanarayana Date format + Clive Bowley You'll find the same problem. Last month Clive Bowley experienced the exact same problem using a windows version (search the archives for Date format + Clive Bowley. He sent me his spreadsheet of list and I was not able to reproduce in: OOo 2.3 (linux): cannot reproduce OOo 2.1 (linux): cannot reproduce StarOffice 8 (linux): cannot reproduce OOo 2.1 (Windows): cannot reproduce StarOffice 8 (Windows): cannot reproduce MS Excel 2002 SP3 (windows): cannot reproduce I also was not able to reproduce Sudheer Satyanarayana's problem. As mentioned in my post to Sudheer: Perhaps it's a locale problem? I am in the US and use US locale's in OOo etc. Clive is in the UK so perhaps this is a related regional bug. I also just tried the spreadsheet in the bug report: http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/48629/IZ_76623_format.ods as was not able to reproduce in 2.3 (linux). So again, I think that it must be a locale and/or possibly a language setting problem? Can anyone else on the list from Europe test http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/48629/IZ_76623_format.ods and see if the dates change according to the bug?
