cannot set UserDefinedAttributes for calc sheet

[bme]

Hi,

Being a newbie to OObasic and the Uno API I found myself strugling setting a "UserDefinedAttributes" property of a Cell. Here's my piece of code. Can someone please tell me what I' m doing wrong.

Dim userprop As Variant
oDoc = ThisComponent
oCell = oDoc.Sheets.getByName("name").getCellByPosition(0, 0)
color = oCell.getPropertyValue("CellBackColor")
userprop = oCell.getPropertyValue("UserDefinedAttributes")

MsgBox userprop.Dbg_methods, 64, "methods"

' this resonse with a bunch of methods containing at least the insertByName
' SbxVOID insertByName( SbxSTRING,SbxVARIANT);

Dim aname as Variant
aname = "yo"
userprop.insertByName("monkey",aname)

' now I recieve a "com.sun.star.lang.illegalArgumentException"


Thanks in advance.

bme
