preventing actions

[pueppchen]

Hi,
is it possible to catch events like saving or printing and do only the own actions without executing the main functions? i can catch events but i don't know how to stop the actions the perform.

greetings

Now that I've learned more about the dispatcher, I would say "yes, it is possible".

Instead of listening for events (event listeners) think in terms of modifying the dispatcher.

I'm not saying I know how to do this. But the dispatcher is something that I've recently read some about again.

It seems like there is a mechanism to intercept dispatch events whereby you could catch certian actions done in the UI and stop them from going to the OOo back end to be carried out.

Does this make sense?

Yes, it is possible!
And yes, with the dispatcher framework. It just works fine and you can decide if you just want to intercept actions or if you want to implement your own actions.

Thanks
