+ Opening a Dialog in Python
+
+ %PRODUCTNAME static dialogs are created with the Dialog editor and are stored in varying places according to their personal (My Macros), shared (%PRODUCTNAME Macros) or document-embedded nature. In reverse, dynamic dialogs are constructed at runtime, from on Basic or Python scripts, or using any other %PRODUCTNAME supported language for that matter. Opening static dialogs with Python is illustrated herewith. Exception handling and internationalization are omitted for clarity.
+ My Macros or %PRODUCTNAME Macros dialogs
+ The examples below open Access2Base Trace console or the imported TutorialsDialog dialog with Tools – Macros – Run Macro... menu:
+
+ # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
+ from __future__ import unicode_literals
+
+ def consoleDlg():
+ ctx =XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getComponentContext()
+ smgr = ctx.getServiceManager()
+ dp = smgr.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.awt.DialogProvider", ctx)
+ dlg = dp.createDialog( "vnd.sun.star.script:Access2Base.dlgTrace?location=application")
+ dlg.execute()
+ dlg.dispose()
+
+ def tutorDialog():
+ ctx =XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getComponentContext()
+ smgr = ctx.getServiceManager()
+ dp = smgr.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.awt.DialogProvider", ctx)
+ dlg = dp.createDialog("vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.TutorialsDialog?location=application")
+ dlg.execute()
+ dlg.dispose()
+
+ g_exportedScripts = (consoleDlg, tutorDialog)
+
+ Document embedded dialogs
+ The example below opens a newly edited Dialog1 dialog from a document with Tools – Macros – Run Macro... menu:
+
+ # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
+ from __future__ import unicode_literals
+
+ def docDialog():
+ """ Display a doc-based dialog """
+ model = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()
+ smgr = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getComponentContext().ServiceManager
+ dp = smgr.createInstanceWithArguments( "com.sun.star.awt.DialogProvider", (model,))
+ dlg = dp.createDialog( "vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.Dialog1?location=document")
+ dlg.execute()
+ dlg.dispose()
+
+ g_exportedScripts = (docDialog,)
