You need to download and set up the SDK, for C++ development. The API is the same for all programming languages, you only need to "translate" the Java examples to C++. You can find some code in the SDK: sdk/examples/DevelopersGuide/ProfUNO/CppBinding sdk/examples/DevelopersGuide/ProfUNO/SimpleBootstrap_cpp sdk/examples/cpp You can also search some examples in the API mailing list: http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.apache.incubator-ooo.api+extension%3Acxx It's better if you subscribe to that list, and ask your questions there (this mailing list is for end users).

RE: OpenOffice.org and C++
I believe the current Windows builds employ VS2008, using CL.exe from within Cygwin. Now that the VS 2013 Community edition provides all of the ATL and MFC libraries, it may be very desirable to upgrade and simplify the Windows-build prerequisites. There also appear to be better ways to hook up to the VC++ compiler than how it is currently done. (CygWin will run Windows .bat files properly if they are crafted to avoid file-path translation problems, making it easier to work around registry business.) This would also allow possible targeting for x64 Windows and also new cross-compiling cases (if VS 2015 continues the pattern). One concern is the absence of easy ways to target Windows XP in the Community Edition. There may be ways of doing it, but I haven't found it yet. - Dennis PS: I'm told that replacement of XP installations is accelerating and that Windows 7 is going to be the new hanger-on. There needs to be a longer discussion just about this and whether it should be tied to finally having x64 versions of AOO on Windows. PPS: This discussion should probably move to dev@ openoffice.apache.org. -Original Message- From: acolor...@gmail.com [mailto:acolor...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Alexandro Colorado Sent: Friday, March 6, 2015 08:02 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: OpenOffice.org and C++ [ ... ] There are some C++ tutorials there, the page list you several areas to work with AOO.

Re: OpenOffice.org and C++
The code is pretty much the same, so it shouldn't be that different. Libraries have been added but the architecture remain the same. Same with the coding conventions and other things regarding the organization of the code. There is not newer documentation regarding AOO and Cpp. So for better or worst this is all the resources you will find. There are some C++ tutorials there, the page list you several areas to work with AOO. I dont use VS nor do I recommend it, since AOO is mainly built using GCC. VS always have issues including some library that has had issues when working with AOO.

Re: OpenOffice.org and C++
Thanks Rory and Alexandro for the help. In regards to Alexandro's link, I am concern about the age of the information. This web page talks about VS2003, and we are now developing using VS2013, 2003 in computer time is the right after the extinction of the dinosaurs and I certainly hope that OOo has evolved since. At the same time I'm concern that the information on that page might not be accurate to modern times and therefore throw me in a spin that will not only discourage me, but that will also give me the wrong impression of what OOo can and cannot do. Nonetheless, thanks so much for your help, intention is what really counts. As of Rory, I have been reading your link and I am glad how nice OOo interfaces with C++/C, but I wonder if you can point out a HOWTO tutorial or at least something that *shows hot to write a simple hello line in Write using c++ or a simple output to a spreadsheet or database. Thanks a lot to the two of you, I'll keep reading the web pages provided, for I know that something good will come out it. -Original Message- From: Alexandro Colorado Sent: Friday, March 6, 2015 10:00 AM To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: OpenOffice.org and C++ OpenOffice is written in C++ and there are many programming areas to create plugins in C++ as well as others.

Re: OpenOffice.org and C++
OpenOffice is written in C++ and there are many programming areas to create plugins in C++ as well as others.

OpenOffice.org and C++
Is there a website that provides information about interfacing C++ with OpenOffice.org? I would like to interface with OpenOffice.org suite.

At 21:03 05/03/2015 +, Vince Bonly wrote: OKay! Have learned that table editing must be initiated via a right-click drop-down menu on the highlighted name of table, rather than attempting to use the menu-bar's "Edit" tab. I knew it was a simple solution. That's not true: you can always use the menus. There are two things you might mean by "editing": modifying the table design (which is what you originally asked about - adding another field to an existing table) and editing the data the table contains. o To modify the table design, you can use Edit in the context (right-click) menu, but you can indeed get to the same Table Design view via Edit | Edit... . o To modify a table's data, you need Table Data View instead. You can double-click the icon, use Open in the context menu, or go to Edit | Open Database Object... . My next task is to be able to insert a row between two already existing rows; is this possible, rather than the added row being located at the bottom of the table, i,e., last field? I have managed to add several new fields; however, it seems that these must always be appended following the presently last field within the table. Hmm. The order of records in the table display in a database shouldn't matter. The way you use a database is not by examining tables but through queries, forms, or reports. The displays you actually see should not depend on the order of records in any table, I think. If it helps, you can reorder records in a table using the sort facility. If sorting on existing fields cannot produce the order you require, you could add an additional field to indicate the order and then sort on that. But, as I say, I don't think you should particularly want to do this. I trust this helps.
