Oh! So I'm not a moron after all. However, I downloaded AndrewMacro.pdf few days ago and found Andrew's approach more practical and easier to grasp...and I'm approaching UNO and OOo/LibreOffice from python.
The Developers guide is for elitist coders. If the devs wants to attract extension development via macro scripting, they should consider making those docs more like english language. sent from mobile device -----Original Message----- From: Bill Gradwohl <b...@ycc.com> Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2011 12:19:25 To: <users@global.libreoffice.org> Reply-To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Code snippet -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 07/30/2011 10:57 PM, Andrew Douglas Pitonyak wrote: > I expect that you need to set this from the sheets draw page .... Thank You Andrew. I have a copy of your book back in Texas. I wish I had it here on the island. I wrote most of the POS system we use in our restaurant by referencing your book. It's 9000 lines of macro code. I was up on your web site yesterday and noted that you're putting out a new edition. I tried wrapping my head around UNO several times and failed. I just don't get it. I've hit api.openoffice.org trying to make heads or tails out of what's there, but no joy. The API is an impenetrable collection of unrelated spare parts as far as I'm concerned, and I'm a professional programmer (IBM Mainframes & Linux O/S utilities). I can't seem to get the right approach or frame of mind to understand the API set and UNO in particular. That's why I had to ask for help, and you came through.
