Need help with event handler.

[Shine.P]

Hi ,

I am new to Basic, Can someone guide me here ->
I need an eventhandler which looks for onSave event and it should call another function and not save.

I want to use the interface XEventHandler of :: com :: sun :: star :: awt ::
and need to use the function handleEvent.

The code fails @thisComponent.currentController.addEventHandler(oEventHandler)

sub main
AddEventHandler
end sub


Option Explicit
Global oEventHandler
Sub AddEventHandler
dim oDoc

oEventHandler = CreateUnoListener( "EventHandler_","com.sun.star.awt.XEventHandler" )
thisComponent.currentController.addEventHandler(oEventHandler)


End Sub

sub EventHandler_handleEvent( oEvent )
Msgbox "Yes"
end sub

Also using notifyEvent for the listener Interface doesnt pick up the onPrint event.?
Any clue why?

Need some help please!!

Hi,
You can manually assign a macro to the On Save event, via menu Tools > Customize > Events.
This is much easier than assigning by program, if you are new to OpenOffice.

Hi Bernard,

Thanks for the reply

I have got the listener to work and i use notify event to notify of onSave. I plan to deploy the letter in HTML format with the mimetype of an .sxw file and use SDONLOAD to load the macros written in basic.

I just need to find a way to write the opened/edited document to a database or place in the server using the event onSave. Does anyone have any links or documents on this or a function?

I am a java programmer, very new to BASIC. Thanks

Hi Shine,

Is it possible to cancel/stop the Save operataion if I want. because in my requirement at OnSave my macro (calc/star basic) performs some validation if validation fails then macro has to quit from execution.
