Hello Andre, *,
From: Andre Fischer [mailto:awf....@gmail.com]
I was somewhat but not entirely successful in turning your
BASIC script
into a sidebar panel.
Thank you very much.
But ...
I have created an Eclipse project of the sidebar panel [1]. Run the
'oxt' target of the Ant build file to create the file
SidebarBasicPanelDemo.oxt in the dist/ directory.
What should I do exactly? I do not know, because I am not familiar with Eclipse.
Could not you please create a finished oxt?
I did not provide one on purpose because it does not work. If you
really want to use BASIC to implement the panel then you have to fix the
callback/dialog reference issues.
But if you or anybody else want to give Java a try, I made another demo
[2] and implemented a similar search dialog completely in Java. Most of
that demo extension is generic code that does not have to be modified
for a real-life extension. Any other language with complete UNO binding
(like Python) should work very similar.
Look into its README file for an explanation of the individual files and
pointers of what to change if you want to implement your own panels.
Here is how to import that ZIP file into Eclipse:
- Start a generic or Java-centric Eclipse
- Click menu entry File->Import...
In the 'Import' dialog
- Select 'General->Existing Projects into Workspace'
- Click 'Next >'
- Select 'Select archive file:'
- Click 'Browse...' and load the downloaded SidebarSearchDemo.zip
- Click 'Finish'
A new entry should appear in the 'Package Explorer' (by default on the
left side) labeld 'SidebarSearchDemo'.
- Locate the 'Ant' view. If it is not open then
- Click Window->Show View->Ant
- Drag-and-drop the 'SidebarSearchDemo' entry from the 'Package
Explorer' to the 'Ant' view.
- Expand the new 'SidebarSearchDemoOXT' entry in the 'Ant' view.
- Double click on the 'oxt [default]' entry.
This will build both the JAR and the OXT file.
- In OpenOffice open the extension manager and add the newly built
SidebarSearchDemo.oxt. It doesn't matter if one is already
installed, it will be overwritten.
- Restart OpenOffice
Repeat the last step three steps (from double click on 'oxt' to restart)
whenever you made changes and want to test them.

Andre
