The dialog service hosts now a bunch of methods
to create new controls dynamically in an existing
dialog predefined in the Basic IDE.
In other words, a dialog is initialized with controls
in the Basic IDE. New controls can be added at run-time
before or after the Execute() statement.
All the new methods have in common their first 2 arguments:
ControlName
Place: an (X, Y, Width, Height) array
or a com.sun.star.awt.Rectangle
New methods:
CreateButton(..., toggle, push)
CreateCheckBox(..., multiline)
CreateComboBox(..., border, dropdown, linecount)
CreateCurrencyField(..., border, spinbutton, minvalue,
maxvalue, increment, accuracy)
CreateDateField(..., border, dropdown, mindate, maxdate)
CreateFileControl(..., border)
CreateFixedLine(..., orientation)
CreateFixedText(..., border, multiline, align, verticalalign)
CreateFormattedField(..., border, spinbutton, minvalue,
maxvalue)
CreateGroupBox(...)
CreateImageControl(..., border, scale)
CreateListBox(..., border, dropdown, linecount, multiselect)
CreateNumericField(..., border, spinbutton, minvalue,
maxvalue, increment, accuracy)
CreatePatternField(..., border, editmask, literalmask)
CreateProgressBar(..., border, minvalue, maxvalue)
CreateRadioButton(..., multiline)
CreateScrollBar(..., orientation, border, minvalue, maxvalue)
CreateTableControl(..., border, rowheaders, columnheaders,
scrollbars, gridlines)
CreateTextField(..., border, multiline, maximumlength,
passwordcharacter)
CreateTimeField(..., border, mintime, maxtime)
CreateTreeControl(..., border)
All the methods return a SF_DialogControl instance.
The arguments have bben chosen based on functionality
rather than on layout. After the creatio of the control,
most properties and methods relevant to SF_DialogControl
objects are applicable. Also the XControlModel property
might contribute to layout refinements.
Other changes:
- The SF_DialogControl class receives next updatable
properties: Border and TabIndex
- The dialogcontrol.SetTableData() receives an
additional argument: rowheaderwidth
- The dialogcontrol.Resize() method without arguments
resizes the control to its "preferred size", a size
adjusted depending on its actual content
All the new functionalities are callable from both
Basic and Python user scripts.
Described changes will require a serios review of the
Dialog and DialogControl help pages.
