These new properties are mostly used in external filters (Excel 2007
XML) to control/change the behaviour of the model while loading a file.

Mikhail is right, an important piece of documentation is missing here
and i renew my request that we document filter specific settings
somewhere. A wiki page showing the names that have to be used via API
and all filter specific settings. These settings depends on the filter
implementation and should be documented for each filter.

Today we have only a list of filter names somewhere in the framework
wiki section.

Hi Wei Min,

As I have written in one of the previous emails, I would suggest to make
the type detection explicitly to get the required filter name. And in
case you get "Text (encoded)" filter, please add the filter options
containing the encoding.

The problem with filter options is that there seems to be no
documentation regarding them. According to source-code the following
property in the MediaDescriptor might work in case of "Text (encoded)"
filter.
Prop.Name = "FilterOptions"
Prop.Value <<= "UTF8"

Before you start with the TypeDetection usage, please try just to add
the filter options property in MediaDescriptor and try it with the
problematic documents. Just to be sure that the options are accepted in
this format.

Best regards,
Mikhail.

RE: loadcomponentfromurl

Hi all,

Thanks for your responses.

Let's assume that indeed those files are not "legitimate" .doc files. If someone creates a text file and renames it as .doc, the Writer encoding text dialog will pop out a UI. If I do choose a encoding such as UTF-8, it will be able to open the text file with no problems and the text will be readable. This is what i want to do programatically, to open with a specified encoding without using the pop-out UI.

Is it possible to do this?

Cheers,

Wei Min

Service SpreadsheetDocumentSettings

Hi all,

Service css.sheet.SpreadsheetDocumentSettings is marked as deprecated since SDK 1.1.

How can it be deprecated and have new properties added since OOo 3.0 ?
[optional, property] boolean IsLoaded;
[optional, property] boolean IsUndoEnabled;
[optional, property] boolean IsAdjustHeightEnabled;
[optional, property] boolean IsExecuteLinkEnabled;
[readonly, optional, property] com::sun::star::awt::XDevice ReferenceDevice;

Sorry, I was wrong in my last comment.
Indeed the text filter still wins sometimes by unknown formats, although
actually the filter selection dialog should be shown. And MSWord filter
has no filter options dialog.

It is probably more interesting to take a look to the document. I
suspect that Bernard is right and the document is no valid .doc document.

It means these are not real .doc or .ppt files.
Microsoft sometimes creates simple (not formatted) text files as .doc
Probably it uses Windows encoding ( e.g. Windows 1252 for European text).
Open those files with user interface, you will be requested an encoding. If you
can't find a correct one, how could you find it by program?

Another case is when a file is corrupted : no solution here.

i don't think so. A valid .doc file is auto detected and the word filter
doesn't have a filter options dialog as far as i know. It looks more
like the scenario that Ariel has described.

Maybe a complete code snippet could help to understand ...

The type detection works well and the correct filter is detected as I
understand. The problem here, is that the mentioned filters need
character encoding, thus the FilterOptions dialog ( not "Unknown file
format" dialog ) is shown.

Generally speaking, a filter that gets no filter options should check
the CharacterSet property from the MediaDescriptor. Unfortunately it
does not happen in this case. For me it looks like a missing feature, I
would suggest to submit an enhancement issue for each filter that does
not support the property currently.

The only workaround, that I see for now, is to make the type detection
explicitly to get the required filter name. And based on the filter name
provide the filter options in the format the filter requires it. The
problem here is that there seems to be no documentation regarding filter
options format for each filter. Thus you would probably have to ask on
the applications-related lists regarding each filter ( for example on
dev@... regarding writer filters ).

Best regards,
Mikhail.

even if he doesn't use a filter name, the type detection should work
well for .doc and .ppt files. Sounds strange.

this sounds like the Writer encoding text dialog, that shows up for example
when you try to open with OOo an unkown file format (by default is treated as
text, and you are prompted to select the encoding, etc.)

Aren't you passing a filter name?

Hi,

I'm not going to use any filters or perhaps it automatically uses a default filter. Anyway, to clarify, I think my problem occurs with opening *.doc or *.ppt files. When I open it prompts me on which character encoding i want to use. This would "hang" an automation program. Thus, I thought I could pass in the character encoding set for it to open by using ChracterSet UTF8 in the media descriptor. However, this didn't work even with "UTF8". Do I have to use this with some filter implementation? If so, how can i do that?

Or perhaps I need to implement an exceptionhandler for this case?

Thanks.

Hi Wei Min,

Please try "UTF8" as the value.
Although I am not sure that all the filters check the property. Which
filter are you going to use?

Best regards,
Mikhail.

Re: Seeking help to install ooo sdk in ubuntu

2009-11-05T03:07:48Z

Hi Jayanga,

The SDK on Ubuntu should be the openoffice.org-dev package. Simply use the following command:
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-dev

and everything should be ok.

The InteractionHandler argument is mentioned in the following article:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OfficeDev/Handling_Documents

As it is mentioned there you should just implement the
com.sun.star.task.InteractionHandler service.
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/task/InteractionHandler.html

>

Please see the following sourcecode as an example of a simple
InteractionHandler that does not show any UI.
http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m60/framework/source/interaction/quietinteraction.cxx

Your implementation could look similar and additionally it could
remember whether com.sun.star.task.DocumentPasswordRequest was done.
This request is done in case an encrypted document is loaded to get the
password.

Hope that helps.

Mikhail.

Re: Seeking help to install ooo sdk in ubuntu

2009-11-05T01:07:41Z

Hi,

the sdk installs into the base layer of a normal office installation.
This is the reason for the dependency. Ubuntu pack the office on their
own and probably rename their packages. The simplest way is to install
an office from www.openoffice.org and install the SDK in this.

loadcomponentfromurl

2009-11-05T00:50:08Z

Hi,

I would like to specify a character encoding set to use when opening a file.

Using

ploadprops[0].Name = CharacterSet

ploadprops[0].Value <<= OUString::createFromAscii("UTF-8")

...

However, this still doesn't seem to work. I suspect that the string i've passed in is not valid.

How get i get a list of legitimate strings that characterset will take in for loadcomponentfromurl??

Thanks.

Re: Need confirmation on non-working Events in Dialogs when Databrowser is opened

2009-11-04T23:26:58Z

Hi,
I can reproduce the bug with a very simple dialog (attached now to Issue 100764).
It only happens if the dialog macro is run from a toolbar or from menu Tools >
Macros. So an easy work-around could be to run the macro from a form button in a
document.

RE: password protected files

2009-11-04T18:22:42Z

Hi Mikhail,

Thanks for the reply. You're right, i'm using loadComponentFromURL().

How can i code a simple interactionhandler to detect the password event?

If this is the only case i implement the interactionhandler to handle, will all other cases run through the default interactionhandler to throw the default exceptions?

Thanks.

Add-on toolbars - settings inaccessible ?

2009-11-04T13:54:13Z

Hi.

I am confused by add-on toolbars. My add-on toolbar doesn't show up when
listing the LayoutManager's elements via

Sub ListToolbars
Dim x as Variant
Dim s as String

For Each x in
ThisComponent.GetCurrentController.GetFrame.LayoutManager.getElements()
s = s & x.ResourceURL & CHR$(10)
Next

MsgBox s, 0, "Toolbars in Component"
End Sub

All add-on toolbars show as "0" in this list instead of showing a URL.
The standard toolbars are "fully equipped" as seen by

Dim x as Variant
x =
ThisComponent.GetCurrentController.GetFrame.LayoutManager.getElement("private:resource/toolbar/standardbar")
Xray x

but if I check my own add-on toolbar in a very simple add-on
"doobiedoo.my.toolbar" (or any other add-on toolbar - I tried installing
a few)

Dim x as Variant
x =
ThisComponent.GetCurrentController.GetFrame.LayoutManager.getElement("private:resource/toolbar/addon_doobiedoo.my.toolbar")
Xray x

the returned object is rather naked and lacks all the properties needed
for manipulating its state. What's going on ?

Am I unable to change the settings of an add-on toolbar that is defined
by an .XCU file - e.g. disable/enable buttons ? Or is it just Basic that
is stopping me ? Can I do it from e.g. Python ?

Cheers

Logging slide number in Presentation

2009-11-04T07:28:49Z

Hi,

I'm new to this API and I have to code (in Java) a simple events logger
in presentation, like slide change, etc.

As far as I understood I have to make an Add-On. I use Netbeans, and I
generated a template code. Now I need a access to the
XSlideshowController object in order to get the page number.

So how can I access this XSlideShowController?

Do you think there is a better (simpler) way to do that?

Is there any SlideChange callback somewhere?

Re: password protected files

2009-11-04T04:15:14Z

Hi Wei Min,

it depends from the API you are using.

I suspect that you are using loadComponentFromURL(), in this case you
can provide the InteractionHandler in the MediaDescriptor, the
InteractionHandler would handle the document password request in this case.

If the standard InteractionHandler implementation is provided to the
call, the password dialog would be shown to user. You can also provide
an own simple InteractionHandler implementation, that could for example
detect whether document password request was done on loading ( that
means that the document is encrypted one ). In the same way other
problems during the loading could be handled.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Mikhail.

It doesn't seem to throw an aIOException or illegalArgumentException. It just seems to fail XComponent.is(). The thing is that this could fail due to other reasons.

Aha. A workaround is to use SetFormula which forces a re-evaluation of
the formula even when the new formula is identical to the old one.
Please, don't add a check for this to optimize performance of
SetFormula() :-).

Note that the code below only works when the offending function is
implemented in Basic. A formula of say "= 3 / 0" won't raise an
exception and be caught by the FormulaError handler.

Cheers

Sadly, I haveto use a bash script to do this. This one is configured for
Linux Redhat/Centos to run from cron (you can change the binary paths for
other distros). Specifically, this is will kill soffice.bin binaries left
over from a web application that converts word docs to HTML. The process
takes well under a minute, so a 10 minute buffer is safe, after 25
minutes, stubborn processes are sent the SIGKILL signal.

Luckily, the 'parent' OpenOffice processes are owned by the root user
in my case. If the processes you need to kill are the same ownership as
the 'parent' OpenOffice processes you will need to add an extra step to
the pipe. (filtering out commands with 'ServiceManager' might to the
trick)

It requires the 'procfs' virtual file system so it couldn't be ported to
WinXX, you would need another solution under Windows. However, just about any
other OS supports procfs so this could probably be easily ported to
Solaris etc...

Change PUSER, PMATCH, MINUTES and KMINUTES to suit your needs, then
add this to cron.

# this script is meant to be called regularly from cron and

Calc API: Evaluate formula ?

2009-11-02T13:45:27Z

Hi.

I am trying to figure out how to evaluate a formula string. If I have
selected a single cell I can get to the formula via
ThisComponent.GetCurrentSelection.Formula but I haven't been able to
find a way to evaluate that formula.

Excel VBA has the Evaluate() function - what is the equivalent in the
OpenOffice API ? I did look at com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess but
that works only for a single function name and requires you to feed in
all parameters manually.

I am using this to build a function that can return more descriptive
error messages to the user when a formula returns "#VALUE!" - at least
when the formula involves code in my add-in.

the 'parent' OpenOffice processes you will need to add an extra step to
the pipe. (filtering out commands with 'ServiceManager' might to the trick)

It requires the 'procfs' virtual file system so it couldn't be ported to WinXX,
you would need another solution under Windows. However, just about any
other OS supports procfs so this could probably be easily ported to Solaris
etc...

Change PUSER, PMATCH, MINUTES and KMINUTES to suit your needs, then
add this to cron.

--Dave

#!/bin/bash

# this script is meant to be called regularly from cron and
# will kill old OpenOffice processes owned by tomcat

# owner of the processes to kill
PUSER=tomcat

# grep match of processes
PMATCH='soffice\.bin'

# minutes to send normal termination signal
MINUTES=10

# for hung processes, minutes to wait before sending KILL signal
KMINUTES=25

# normal termination
/usr/bin/find /proc/ \
-maxdepth 3 \
-name 'cmdline' \
-user ${PUSER} \
-mmin +${MINUTES} \
-exec /bin/grep -l ${PMATCH} {} \; | \
/bin/cut -d'/' -f3 | \
/usr/bin/xargs -n1 -i^ /bin/bash -c '/bin/kill ^ 2>&1 > /dev/null'

# wait a little longer then KILL hung processes
/usr/bin/find /proc/ \
-maxdepth 3 \
-name 'cmdline' \
-user ${PUSER} \
-mmin +${KMINUTES} \
-exec /bin/grep -l ${PMATCH} {} \; | \
/bin/cut -d'/' -f3 | \
/usr/bin/xargs -n1 -i^ /bin/bash -c '/bin/kill -9 ^ 2>&1 > /dev/null'

Hi,

i would like to welcome kryanth, dsnero, g0d, huahsin68, sonigitu,
knobo, mtitley, m3rlin, ajeetdyondi as our newest project members!

Let me encourage you to subscribe to the
dev@... mailing list
http://api.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList
and take a look at the web page and wiki and see if anything attracts
your interest
wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/API.
The API wiki is still under construction and especially in the example
section we can benefit from more good examples and tutorials. Our
Developer's Guide has moved into the docu wiki and is also a good
resource to find more detailed information about the API

(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide).

And last but not least the extension project might be also of interest
for you if you plan to extend the office this way or if you want to
learn more about extensions, the easiest way to get started to develop
with and for OpenOffice.org.

Feel free to a short biography to the list to introduce yourself.

Juergen

maybe http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=50716 is the
problem here?

Re: python and loadComponentFromURL()

2009-10-30T14:17:12Z

Hi,

python lists are not supported, use tuples instead. Try to change the line

Properties = [hidden]

to

Properties = hidden,

and try again.

Bye,

Joerg
