UNO's object reference document

[Ben Lau]

Hi all,

It may be a stupid question but really thanks for any replies.

I am completely new to the macro/UNO of openoffice(and even to Winword's macro). I want to insert a combo box object in my calc document. I have looked ComboBox_in_a_Sheet_En.sxc but don't know how to use it.

http://ooodocs.sourceforge.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=97

And then i tried to look inside the source , it is quite short and I am able to read basic language. However , i don't know where can i find the class/object reference document of oSheet/oDoc etc... and result that I really don't understand what is the code going on..

So I want to ask any website contained the list of all UNO's object and their method?

Thanks!

In addition to sergeM's answer, here is how you find how the events are tied to the control.

On the far left side of the document window is a tall vertical toolbar called the Main Toolbar. (If it is not, then make sure View --> Toolbars --> Main Toolbar is checked.)

Right-click in the Main Toolbar. A context menu appears. One of the choices are "Visible Buttons", which leads to a submenu of the possible things that can appear on this toolbar. Make sure that Show Form Functions is checked.

From the Main Toolbar, pick the Show Form Functions icon, and tear off the submenu into a window called "Form Functions".

The Form Functions window has two rows of icons. On the bottom row, sixth button from the left is the "Design Mode On/Off" button. Click it to turn on design mode. (All of the other buttons on the Form Functions should now enable.) Now you can design forms and place form controls on the spreadsheet.

Now, when in design mode, click on the Combo Box. It gets little green handles around it to indicate it is selected. Right-click, context menu appears. Form the context menu pick Right-Click --> Control...

The Properties sheet appears for the control. It has three tabs, General, Data, and Events. On the Events tab, notice that two events are set to call Basic functions.

The "When receiving focus" event calls....
document:Standard.Bas_demo_en.Load_Values_List

The "Text modified" event calls...
document.Standard.Bas_demo_En.Writer_To_Destination_Cell
