Writer user fields / API / VB

[zifox]

Hi,

i have to make an interface in vb to take control of OpenOffice from another application, and my current issue is being able to set user fields into Writer, to use them with 'insert -> Field -> Other -> Variables'

I've looked into the documentation, and can't figure which interface i have to use. I figure i need ::com::sun::star::text::TextField , but i'm puzzled by ::DependantTextFields, ::TextFieldMaster :

do i have to create a TextFieldMaster and attach a TextField to it ? How do i tell the document i want to add properties ?

(I'm new to the OOo api btw)
