Hello, I'm really new into programming macros
And I have something probably very easy to do, but for me, it's a leviathan.
Well, I've tried to start with the macro's writer into OoO, but hum, it seems confuse.

Here is what I want to do :
I need to insert 21 groups of rows into my sheet at the current cell, with a default value (like "0" or "-")

here is my code :

Code:
REM  *****  BASIC  *****

Sub Main
dim document   as object
dim dispatcher as object

document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")

For i = 0 to 20
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:InsertRows", "", 0, Array())
dim args2(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "StringName"
args1(0).Value = "-"

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:EnterString", "", 0, args1())
Next i
End Sub


but I have an error on this line :

Code:
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:EnterString", "", 0, args1())



I'm sure it's really easy, but as I'm really new at this...

Please help me,
Raph

Hi Raph,

The error message is a bit cryptic, but I got it to work by moving the "dim args2" (which should be args1, by the way) out of the loop, as per the code below:

Code:
dim args1(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue

For i = 0 to 20
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:InsertRows", "", 0, Array())
args1(0).Name = "StringName"
args1(0).Value = str(i) ' made it write the number, to make sure all 20 rows work

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:EnterString", "", 0, args1())
Next i
