Hi Marten,
As Mathias has written it would really help if you provide the code
snippet related to parameters generation of the call. There is
currently no known problem in this area, thus the scenario you are
using should have a specific that let the problem be reproducible. And
to detect what goes wrong we need a possibility to reproduce the problem.
Ok, here is the Smalltalk code I execute. The smallest code I can
execute on the Smalltalk
side to get the error is:
| writerDocument |
writerDocument :=
aMSKOO desktop
loadComponentFromURL: 'file:///c:\test.odt' string
TargetFrameName: '_blank' string
SearchFlags: 0 long
Arguments: Array new.
This code returns a valid OLE object (and opens a document), but the document is read-only. The file is
indeed opened readonly - because not lock files are shown in this directory and I can open the file
without problems via OpenOffice-application.
I could change the code to:
| writerDocument |
writerDocument :=
aMSKOO desktop
loadComponentFromURL: 'file:///c:|test.odt' string
TargetFrameName: '_blank' string
SearchFlags: 0 long
Arguments: Array new.
and I get an exception with content
com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URL seems to be an unsupported one.
This shows, that the stuff is at least something doing.
Then I changed the code to actually use parameters: In this document I used the attribute
Hidden
and I set it to true and this also worked very well. I get a valid OLE object
back and the file seems
to be opened readonly but hidden:
| writerDocument aProperty |
aProperty := OOBeansPropertyValue ooNew: aMSKOO.
aProperty
name: 'Hidden' ;
value: true.
writerDocument :=
aMSKOO desktop
loadComponentFromURL: 'file:///c:\test.odt' string
TargetFrameName: '_blank' string
SearchFlags: 0 long
Arguments: (Array with: aProperty).
^writerDocument
To verify that the boolean parameters are evaluated I change the last code to:
| writerDocument aProperty |
aProperty := OOBeansPropertyValue ooNew: aMSKOO.
aProperty
name: 'Hidden' ;
value: false.
writerDocument :=
aMSKOO desktop
loadComponentFromURL: 'file:///c:\test.odt' string
TargetFrameName: '_blank' string
SearchFlags: 0 long
Arguments: (Array with: aProperty).
^writerDocument
and the document is opened visible again (readonly). Then I change the code
(now we are coming to the ReadOnly
attribute) to:
| writerDocument aProperty |
aProperty := OOBeansPropertyValue ooNew: aMSKOO.
aProperty
name: 'READONLY' ;
value: false.
writerDocument :=
aMSKOO desktop
loadComponentFromURL: 'file:///c:\test.odt' string
TargetFrameName: '_blank' string
SearchFlags: 0 long
Arguments: (Array with: aProperty).
^writerDocument
and the document is again opened visible readonly. The system does not
recognize the 'READONLY' parameter - fine.Therefore
I change it to:
| writerDocument aProperty |
aProperty := OOBeansPropertyValue ooNew: aMSKOO.
aProperty
name: 'ReadOnly' ;
value: false.
writerDocument :=
aMSKOO desktop
loadComponentFromURL: 'file:///c:\test.odt' string
TargetFrameName: '_blank' string
SearchFlags: 0 long
Arguments: (Array with: aProperty).
^writerDocument
On the lowest level side i get an object
*OSVariantarg {
vt: 13
wReserved1: 0
wReserved2: 0
wReserved3: 0
}
which is an pointer to an OSVariantarg structure. The 13 means VtUnknown. If I change the code to
| writerDocument aProperty |
aProperty := OOBeansPropertyValue ooNew: aMSKOO.
aProperty
name: 'ReadOnly' ;
value: true
writerDocument :=
aMSKOO desktop
loadComponentFromURL: 'file:///c:\test.odt' string

Re: [dev] getTextFields() - where to get additional infos
Nice, but this was NOT my question. If you get the information, that the resulting object is of kind com.sun.star.text.TextFields , then I'm also fine, because my code also gives me all the needed information I wanted to have. The question was: how do I find out this information, that the returned object is of that kind and I tried to show, that this information seems to be not available by reading the IDL reference documentation. Regarding the Smalltalk interface: though I generated code for nearly the whole office suite I concentrate on the Writer part now trying to find an easy programming model. The good thing is, that I do not have to convert or request all these interfaces - the methods are there point. I'm actually using my Smalltalk code to find out how it works, write small programs and then reused this knowledge when doing C# stuff. Actually I'm fine tuning the code generator now and some stuff is still missing - due to lack of knowledge regarding OLE stuff. Some points: * I'm able to convert a sequence (from OLE objects) to Smalltalk objects, bit I have not found out the other way. That means, that some of the generated code having sequences as parameters simply do not work * Who is responsible for the memory management. I expect to have memory leaks - but I do not know, how to fix them right now. The best thing would be to have a native UNO C bridge I could use, but this area seems to be very limited documented.

Re: [dev] CLI - how to deploy, hoe does it works ?
The first problem is the loading of libraries via .NET. This happens on a lazy base - when calling uno.util.Bootstrap.bootstrap(); On some machines I get errors (FileNotFound exceptions), some are working without problems. This can be solved by adding the installation path to the PATH variable. This must be done by the application program. UNO_PATH does not help, because setting this will add the content of UNO_PATH to PATH, but AFTER .NET has loaded all libraries needed. The other problems are based on wrong registry entries (some from old installations). To reduce these problems, one may set UNO_PATH, which prevents, that OO looks into the registry at all. On the other hand you may end up with two OO paths in your PATH variable. I've written a small console based program, which connects to OpenOffice in six different way - nice program to check a computer very fast, if the OO connection works using .NET. The project (including binary) can be downloaded from www.schrievkrom.de/extfiles/OOConsoleTest.zip and is about 30K small. I now only have to solve the problem with a new XP installation on a laptop, where 2.3.0 is installed, but when bootstrap that it does not find the specific version Marten - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] CLI - how to deploy, hoe does it works ?
Joachim, this is a total mess. I've got now three additional machine (older W2000 and one brand new XP installation) to get the software to work and on none of these machine did the software work. On one W2000 machine I've found an old OO 1.1.4 installation (which was not able to uninstall itself) and manually deleting lots of OpenOffice regitry entries I managed to get my 2.3.0 OO to run with my software. The other W2000 machine is still not working and the XP-SP2 machine, I do not know - this is a total unstable way to do programming with .NET and OpenOffice. The only reliable way to get it all working is to start my application within the OO program directory (which is not a nice idea).

Re: [dev] CLI - how to deploy, hoe does it works ?
Hello Joachim, I've already found and looked at the policy files. They are all there and they seem to work as expected. All libraries are in the GAC And in my last posting I also did all the other attempts to make it work: I also tried NOT to deliver the libraries with my applications. But from your answer I get several results: * do not deliver new OO libraries with own application * But - I'm not totally sure about that - my application tried to start and asked the .NET framework about 1.1.10.0 (as an example), which is delivered with OO 2.3 - but the target machine has only OO 2.2 and therefore only 1.1.7.0 AND rebinding instructions for 1.1.1.0 - 1.1.6.0 to 1.1.7.0. What is happing in case of such a request ? Within VS2005 I told the application not to use strict versions - but this does not seem to help. Please read my posting again - I've tried several cases and even the OO 2.3 (source) - OO 2.3 (target) ONLY works, when I change the PATH variable and OO 2.3 (source) - OO 2.2 (target) does not work at all. That it works on my (office) machine is perhaps pure luck, because it has the oldest installation and there was so much work done with .NET configuration - but all other machines I tried out are fresh installed machines where nothing has been changed in the .NET configuration. I'm now at home (using VISTA) trying to get my own application to run - but no chance - always getting a System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: Eine externe Komponente hat eine Ausnahme ausgelöst. bei cppu.bootstrap(Referencecom::sun::star::uno::XComponentContext* ) bei uno.util.Bootstrap.bootstrap() bei OpenOffice.GeneralDocHelper.connect(String[] args) in But now looking again at this code (while writing this) I get another idea - this is a security exception ! Some code is executed, which does not allowed things - I got this exception (as an example) when trying to read the registry keys values from the registry (as a normal user under windows): to find out, where OO is installed. Remember: my applications are only some files within a directory. They are not installed using some kind of installer or stuff like this - I'm not an expert in this security area. But this does not answer my other question: interoperability with OO 2.3 development and OO 2.2 runtime.

This should not be necessary since OOo installs the libraries into the GAC. This is also dangerous because a new OOo version typically brings new types in cli_types.dll. When these are transferred to the client which uses an old cli_types.dll then the CLI-UNO bridge certainly terminates. If I do NOT add these libraries, the .NET (e.g.) gets a request to bind version 1.1.10.0 of cli_types.dll and it fails, because it has only version 1.1.7.0 (the version from from OO 2.2) and there are no rebinding instructions to rebind all the stuff to version x (based on OO 2.3). With every new version of OOo the assembly versions are incremented. Nowclient programs build with previous programs would not run anymore. Therefore OOo also installs a policy assembly for each assembly, for example policy.1.1.cli_types.dll which does a binding redirect for the assembly. That is, the runtime is told to use version 1.1.10 although your assembly was build with 1.1.7.

All I would like to have is a way to implement: anObject.SupportsInterfacesNamed(com.sun.star.reflection.XTypeDescription) which may returns true or false and this via UNO calls and not via BASIC special calls (to use it under OLE). I thought, that perhaps queryInterface might help me, but I do not understand type and how to get the type for a name like com.sun.star.reflection.XTypeDescription ?

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. Yes, I tried that - but all I get are empty enumerations ... as an example an OOBASIC code trying to get all services from the reflection module ... REM Smalltalk Source code example REM typeCollection := OrderedCollection new. REMtypeCollection add: OOCSSUnoTypeClass::SERVICE. REMenumeration := anInstance REMcreateTypeDescriptionEnumeration: 'com.sun.star.reflection' REMtypes: (OSVariantarg fromIntegerCollection: typeCollection) REMdepth: OOCSSReflectionTypeDescriptionSearchDepth::INFINITE . REMaCollection := OrderedCollection new. REM[ enumeration hasMoreElements ] whileTrue:[ REMaCollection add: enumeration nextTypeDescription REM].

[dev] OLE, Source code generation and reflection ... the boring story ...
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]
Re: [dev] UNO, URP, IIOP, etc.
It would be pretty interesting to see your discussion in the public, because I tried to write a language wrapper for Smalltalk in the past (but only via OLE) and I did not finished it. Therefore I'm really interested in this area. Marten - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[dev] OLE Access to structure components ... how ??
I again try to connect Smalltalk (IBM VisualAge Smalltalk) to OpenOffice and I start doing this via OLE/COM. I'm actually not that good in OLE, but I managed to query interfaces for their methods and properties and this works quite well - from these informations I would like to create source code compiled into Smalltalk. To build the method signatures I came across structures and nwo I'm lost ... One of these structures I have is com.sun.star.reflection.ParamInfo and I try to get the values of the components aName, aMode and aType. As an example here is my Smalltalk method for getting aName. ^self invoke: 'aName' name of the method I have to invoke withArguments: Array newno arguments returnType: trueyes I want to have the return values I would assume to get a String - but whatever I do: I get a low level error DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND. It even finds a dispid for the method above (I think it was the 3), but calling it simply fails and returns this error. Any idea ???
