 |
|
Everyone should know that the Mail Marge Wizard is usseless for complex task and page layouts.
Happly we have still the famous "Form Letter question" on printing ,at condition theres is a FormLeter Field present in the document. lProblem is: when the user had said that he not wonts to see this option again than he is forever in problems to uses Leter Form printing:
so:
Can we undo this never again thing with a macro using the API ?
Yes thanks to SergeM, Laurent, Danad and som peaces of code from DannyB.

Under <ooo_user_install> look into Writer.xcu for:
Code:
| Code: | <prop oor:name="AskForMerge" oor:type="xs:boolean">
<value>false</value>
</prop> |
and change to:
Code:
| Code: | <prop oor:name="AskForMerge" oor:type="xs:boolean">
<value>true</value>
</prop> |
With the API it works like:
| Code: | Sub ShowAskForMerge
oConfigAccess = GetConfigAccess( "/org.openoffice.Office.Writer/FormLetter/PrintOutput", False, True )
MsgBox oConfigAccess.AskForMerge
End Sub
Sub MakeAskForMergeYES
oConfigAccess = GetConfigAccess( "/org.openoffice.Office.Writer/FormLetter/PrintOutput", True, True, False )
oConfigAccess.AskForMerge = True
oConfigAccess.commitChanges()
End Sub
Function GetConfigAccess( ByVal cNodePath As String, ByVal bWriteAccess As Boolean,Optional bEnableSync, Optional bLazyWrite ) As Object
If IsMissing( bEnableSync ) Then
bEnableSync = True
EndIf
If IsMissing( bLazyWrite ) Then
bLazyWrite = False
EndIf
oConfigProvider = GetProcessServiceManager().createInstanceWithArguments("com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider",Array( MakePropertyValue( "enableasync", bEnableSync ) ) )
If bWriteAccess Then
cServiceName = "com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationUpdateAccess"
Else
cServiceName = "com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationAccess"
EndIf
rem Xray.Xray oConfigAccess
oConfigAccess = oConfigProvider.createInstanceWithArguments( cServiceName, Array( MakePropertyValue( "nodepath", cNodePath ), MakePropertyValue( "lazywrite", bLazyWrite ) ) )
GetConfigAccess() = oConfigAccess
End Function
Function MakePropertyValue( Optional cName As String, Optional uValue ) As com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
oPropertyValue = createUnoStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue" )
If Not IsMissing( cName ) Then
oPropertyValue.Name = cName
EndIf
If Not IsMissing( uValue ) Then
oPropertyValue.Value = uValue
EndIf
MakePropertyValue() = oPropertyValue
End Function |
Can we call the "Form Letter printing option" with a macro using the API?
So far I could find out No...

In my 2.0.2 for XP, here is what I had to edit:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Writer.xcu
<node oor:name="printOutput">
<prop oor:name="AskForMerge" oor:type="xs:boolean">
<value>true</value>
</prop>
</node>
Close OpenOffice including the Quickstarter. Make sure it is closed.

<node oor:name="printOutput">
<prop oor:name="AskForMerge" oor:type="xs:boolean">
<value>true</value>

heerenveen,
To the best of my knowledge AskForMerge does not appear in the file until you have
checked the box to not show the dialog again. A that point the code above will restore
the dialog so you don't need to add anything to it.
hawstom's post shows what you would have to edit if you did it manually. |
