 Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2004 2:14 am Post subject: API OpenOffice and Visual Basic |
 |
|
Hello everyone,
I'm French, excuse my English very bad...
I want to use API OpenOffice under an application Visual BASIC. Are all the services of API OpenOffice accessible under Visual BASIC?
I succeeded in opening, modifying and saving a document but I does not succeed to recover information on the OpenOffice application or an open document (exemple : document file name, ruler option, etc... ).
In many macro's exemple i see this syntaxe : createUnoService("com.sun.star....")
can i use an equivalent syntax in Visual Basic ?
Thank's for your help ! |

Yes you can.
Have a look at: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9815
That should give you the necessary links and information to start with VB for OpenOffice.org .

Hello,
Under Visual BASIC I launched this code:
| Quote: | Set puoServiceManager = CreateObject("com.sun.star.ServiceManager")
puoServiceManager.getavailableServiceNames() |
It does not return me the service com.sun.star.view.ViewSettings. How can I do to reach the module view and its services?
Thank's |

Thank you, I have much evil to understand the bond between the services... The most interesting of documentations are in English and it's not really funny for me. 
There is not a French in this forum, enough motivated, to translate the Developer's Guide ? 
Excuse my bad English... |

I already downloaded several French documentations but most interesting remain in English, normal the developers are english-speaking...
I go to try the French forum.
Thank's for all |

Hi valm,
I'm aslo a french user, and also a (part-time) Visual Basic programmer. I meet the same difficulties as you in the understanding of the API (and writing English !). I'll probably write a tutorial "programming OpenOffice with Visual Basic" as soon as my understanding of the API is sufficient... A already wrote some parts of it. I will very soon release some preview versions in the french "community" to test its pertinence and utility (no translation for the moment, sorry !). Your contribution will be very appreciated !
Anybody knows about a document like this (english or french) ? I'm looking for a document which explains the main difficulties with the UNO-Automation bridge : events handlings, the global logic of the API for a non Object Oriented language user, etc... Do you think that a document like that could be of any use ?
I already used many contributions found in OOoforum and wish to particularly thank the moderators DannyB and Andrew Pitonyak, and the other contributors.

Thanks a lot for your reply, SergeM (et bonjour à toi et à Troyes ! hum...),
The doc is here : http://www.kalitech.fr/clients/doc/VB_APIOOo_fr.html. I think that I will translate this doc to english as soon as possible and will maintain only the english version. The audience is larger, and there are more contributors. But I'm not very sure with my english, so I would appreciate some help for the correction... (english or french readers are OK for that !).

Thank you for your kind words... If you want French...
Voici la traduction française de mon document, effectuée par le projet Documentation de la branche française d'OpenOffice sous le nom de "Eléments de programmation des macros dans OOo". Mon document original contient plus d'informations car mis à jour depuis la dernière traduction. Ce lien vous mènera directement sur la page Web contenant cette traduction.

I have read your document. I am not a VB user but I encourage you to continue. I am not sure with my english too but I try to write directly the documentation in english with the help of this forum (and translate it in french after)
I have a (very) little experience with event listener in OOoBasic and can help if you want (use private message of this forum if you want)
Bonjour de Troyes au Parisien.
Andrew
Your french is very good.

(And after that, no more compliments, it's bad for mental health )
Your online doc is a must read/have, I already read and used many parts of it, of course !
SergeM
thank you for your proposal about event handling. I'm going to work on it this week-end (priority number 2) to make the first steps (there are many ressources on it in this forum). I'll write my understanding with VB and event handling in my doc.
My doc concentrate on specificities with Visual Basic language. There are not many specificities, but these ones are very tricky in the firts steps. As far as I know, no document like that is accessible on the web, which is a pity for an OOoAPI beginner as I am...
I'm going to translate the doc (it's short for the moment) this week-end (priority number 1) and will put it online. I would really appreciate your remarks on :
-technical aspects, of course
-correctness & quality of expression (don't hesitate !)
