Hello.

I have been trying for some days to insert an image in a document with the help of this forum. According to OOo documentation is impossible to insert a GraphicObject but as a link. However, I have been able to insert it from java inspired by Andrew Pitonyak's macro code (thanks a lot to you Smile and a bit of luck.

I include now the neccessary code to do that:

-------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
private void insertImage(XMultiServiceFactory xFactory, XComponent xcomponent, XTextRange xTextRange, String url)
{
// Querying for the interface XTextDocument on the xcomponent
XTextDocument xtextdocument = ( XTextDocument ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, xcomponent );
XModel xModel = (XModel)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XModel.class, xcomponent);
XController xController = xModel.getCurrentController();

// the controller gives us the TextViewCursor
XTextViewCursorSupplier xViewCursorSupplier = (XTextViewCursorSupplier)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextViewCursorSupplier.class, xController);
XTextViewCursor xViewCursor = xViewCursorSupplier.getViewCursor();

xViewCursor.gotoRange(xTextRange, false);

try {
Object dispatchHelperObject = xFactory.createInstance("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper");
XDispatchHelper xDispatchHelper = (com.sun.star.frame.XDispatchHelper) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
com.sun.star.frame.XDispatchHelper.class, dispatchHelperObject);

PropertyValue[] args = new PropertyValue[4];
args[0] = new PropertyValue();
args[0].Name = "FileName";
args[0].Value = url;
args[1] = new PropertyValue();
args[1].Name = "FilterName";
args[1].Value = "<Todos los formatos>";
args[2] = new PropertyValue();
args[2].Name = "AsLink";
args[2].Value = new Boolean(false);
args[3] = new PropertyValue();
args[3].Name = "Style";
args[3].Value = "Imagen";

xController = xtextdocument.getCurrentController();
XFrame xFrame = xController.getFrame();
XDispatchProvider xDispatchProvider = (XDispatchProvider)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XDispatchProvider.class, xFrame);

xDispatchHelper.executeDispatch(xDispatchProvider, ".uno:InsertGraphic", "", 0, args);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

-------------------------------------------------

To obtain the variables to call this function:
XFactory:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
private XMultiServiceFactory connect(String strConnect) throws com.sun.star.uno.Exception,
java.lang.Exception
{

XMultiServiceFactory xFactory = null;

// Get component context
XComponentContext xcomponentcontext = Bootstrap.createInitialComponentContext(null);

// initial serviceManager
XMultiComponentFactory xLocalServiceManager = xcomponentcontext.getServiceManager();

// create a connector, so that it can contact the office
Object xUrlResolver = xLocalServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(
"com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver", xcomponentcontext);

XUnoUrlResolver urlResolver = (XUnoUrlResolver) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XUnoUrlResolver.class, xUrlResolver);

Object rInitialObject = urlResolver.resolve(strConnect);

XNamingService rName = (XNamingService) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XNamingService.class,
rInitialObject);

if (rName != null)
{
Object rXsmgr = rName.getRegisteredObject("StarOffice.ServiceManager");
xFactory = (XMultiServiceFactory) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XMultiServiceFactory.class,
rXsmgr);
}

return xFactory;
}
---------------------------------------------

For XComponent:

---------------------------------------------------
private XDesktop getDesktop(XMultiServiceFactory xFactory) throws com.sun.star.uno.Exception
{

XInterface xInterface = null;
XDesktop xDesktop = null;

xInterface = (XInterface) xFactory.createInstance("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop");
xDesktop = (XDesktop) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XDesktop.class, xInterface);

return xDesktop;
}

private XComponent loadDocument(XDesktop xDesktop, String strURL)
throws com.sun.star.uno.Exception
{

XComponent xComponent = null;
PropertyValue[] arguments = new PropertyValue[1];
arguments[0] = new PropertyValue();
arguments[0].Name = "Hidden";
arguments[0].Value = new Boolean(true);

XComponentLoader xComponentLoader = null;

xComponentLoader = (XComponentLoader) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XComponentLoader.class,
xDesktop);

xComponent = xComponentLoader.loadComponentFromURL(strURL, "_blank", 0, arguments);

return xComponent;
}

---------------------------------------------------

You can obtain a XTextRange as you prefer.

This code will replace the XTextRange you pass to the function insertImage with the contents of the file referenced by the url.

I hope this helps someone.
Thank you all for all the posts about macros, inserting images and invoking DispatchHelper from java.

P.D.: While testing this code I have seen that sometimes (still trying to find a clue) openoffice is hanging and I need to restart it. If someone finds out why this can be happening I would thank you very much.

Interesting. I will translate this code in C++, but when ?

Thanks for this example! This is my simple code in C++, written on Borland Builder 6 (for MS Windows only Smile). This code is a part of test automation application (this part: finding text tag for image in open document and replacing it by image from file).

Code:
 
#include <variants.hpp>

//create serviceManager, desktop and dispatchHelper object
   Variant  ServiceManager = Variant::CreateObject("com.sun.star.ServiceManager");

   Variant Desktop = ServiceManager.OleFunction("createInstance",
                                 StringToOleStr("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop"));

    Variant DispatchHelper = ServiceManager.OleFunction("createInstance",
                                        StringToOleStr("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper"));

//open document template
    int Bounds[2] = {0,-1};
    Variant Document = Desktop.OleFunction("LoadComponentFromURL",
        StringToOleStr(/*path to document template*/),
        StringToOleStr("_blank"), 0, VarArrayCreate(Bounds, 1, varVariant) );

//get current frame from document
    Variant CurrentFrame = Document.OleFunction("getCurrentController").OleFunction("getFrame");


//finding text '%diagramm%' (this is tag for image) and select it

    Variant xSearchDescr = Document.OleFunction("createSearchDescriptor");
    xSearchDescr.OlePropertySet("SearchString",StringToOleStr(%diagramm%));
    xSearchDescr.OlePropertySet("SearchCaseSensitive", false);
    xSearchDescr.OlePropertySet("SearchWords", true);

    Variant xFound = Document.OleFunction("findAll", xSearchDescr);

//found text is selected to be replaced by pasted image
    if (xFound.OleFunction("getCount") > 0)
    {       
       Document.OleFunction("getCurrentController").OleProcedure("select",xFound.OleFunction("getByIndex",0));
    }

//prepare structure with image name
    int Bounds2[2] = {0,0};
    Variant VariantArray = VarArrayCreate(Bounds2, 1, varVariant);

    Variant MyStruct = ServiceManager.OleFunction("Bridge_GetStruct","com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue");
    MyStruct.OlePropertySet("name", StringToOleStr("FileName"));
    MyStruct.OlePropertySet("value", StringToOleStr(/*path to image here*/));
    VariantArray.PutElement(MyStruct, 0);

//call the executeDispatch function from DispatchHelper.
    DispatchHelper.OleProcedure("executeDispatch", CurrentFrame, ".uno:InsertGraphic", "", 0, VariantArray);

//this is all. but all Variant object need to be cleaned (by Clear() method execute)

And what is meant by argument strURL in the below method ?

Quote:
private XComponent loadDocument(XDesktop xDesktop, String strURL)

This forum is not meant for asking questions but for posting examples of working code. Go to the Macros and API forum and start a new thread for your question. Still better: go to the new forum (see my signature).
