Parameters with LoadComponentURL

I must be stupid but I can't figure how to use LoadComponentURL to pass parameters to
a document, especially how this new document can get the values

maybe someone can help me

The parameters are property values so first define an array to contain them

dim args1(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue ' 2 properties

Then set the Name - Value pairs up in the array

args1(0).Name = "PropertyName1" 'what ever the property is
args1(0).Value = "XXXXX" ' parameter value
args1(1).Name = "PropertyName1" 'what ever the property is
args1(1).Value = "XXXXX" ' parameter value

Then use this array in the load
loadComponentFromURL(loadUrl, "_blank", 0, args1())

Thanks for answer, it confirms what I was thinking, but I don't see how to get this parameters in the target doc.

I think we may be talking avout different things here. The 'parameters' set in the load... are properties of the component or document and are described in the api documentation. If you are referring to values of 'fields' within the document itself like title, author etc these are different ... they can be set through the api through macros, scripting, java ...
Could you describe what you are trying to do in more detail?

I've one form which call a subform, but I would like that the subform get a parameter from the his parent and pass it to a query.
I ve done it a long time ago in access but I dont know how to do same in Openoffice.org.

I can't manage to get the parameter in the subform, and I don't know how to pass it to the query.

In fact I want to make a subform with a (some) parameter
