I have been trying to explore howto make UI/Dialogs for my OpenOffice Writer addon.
Since the addon has external dependencies and other factors, I need to program addon in C++. But, if I follow the approach mentioned in Sergey Montou's book on OpenOffice Programming in C++, I have to program the dialog by calling various services/interfaces (no problem with that). But I have to specify the hard coded values for "Position X" etc. inside my application for each label -- thinking of localization etc., this wouldnt serve the purpose. On the other hand, Basic's Dialog support is amazing. One person can easily draw the dialog and background XML(.xdl) file is created. I tried to explore the route of keeping the whole UI in basic and callin basic macros from C++ , but I am not sure if this is the right strategy. How do people writing professional software in OO make the UI? Looking forward to comments/feedback. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
