Hi Ingrid, I must admit that I didn't look more deeply into the proposal yet, so just some comments on your comments: If an action in Calc leads to changes in Chart, and Calc triggers the changes actively, Chart doesn't necessarily need it's own actions in that case. When I perform Undo in Calc,

Correct - if you choose to run a macro, the macro can do everything the user is privileged to do. Including configuration manipulation and formatting discs and rebooting the system. See http://blogs.sun.com/malte/entry/some_words_about_macro_security Malte. Cor Nouws wrote, On 01/29/10 12:02: >

I didn't say I want to stay w/o getter methods, but that I want to introduce them. But then not just in that one place, because I remember that people complained about missing getter methods in many AWT interfaces. So my point was to introduce them in all AWT interfaces where they are missing, and

Well, you attended the meeting about AWT improvements with Carsten many month (or years?!) ago, where we discussed this. Maybe you can dig out what our conclusion was that time, maybe with some arguments? ;) Then feel free to use that information and start a discussion thread specific to AWT API

I disagree with doing "selected" enhancements in single css.awt interfaces. All API in css.awt is "broken", because someone made the decision there shouldn't be get- methods, because they are "evil". Some background: - css.awt was one of the first APIs we ever created, with first version of UNO,

Hi Paul, maybe you could give more information about the API you "normally" use exactly in this situation. I have the feeling you are NOT interested in the information which paragraph has the cursor, but really only on absolute screen positions. The cursor in OOo is handled/drawn via VCL, Window

Johnny, the right place for your code (assuming you have modal dialogs) is where you did call dlg.execute(). This will return 0 for Cancel, something else (1) for OK. So if execute() doesn't return 0, do your stuff. Using macros on OK/Cancel button click would be wrong, because users can also u
