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.
Sorry, I do not understand the situation.
From the beginning I talked only about a *Basic* extension.
*Is it true that I can not use the sidebar using Basic Extension?* Or do I
understand this wrong?
As far as I understand our variant of BASIC it is not possible to create
a BASIC-only extension. Therefore my idea was to create a Java-BASIC
hybrid where the generic boilerplate code (factory, registration of
services, etc) is written in Java and only the implementation of the
actual panel is provided in BASIC. But this does not seem to work
either. But maybe only my knowledge of OpenOffice BASIC is not good enough.
The Java-only solution that DOES work can probably be easily adopted to
other languages with proper UNO binding.
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.
Thank you for this work, not only helps me, because I understand neither Java
nor
Eclipse
I am sorry to hear that. Maybe this is a good oportunity to learn Java :-)
