AppletShape properties not working

[fred_er]

Hello,

I'm trying to understand how the 'com.sun.star.drawing.AppletShape' Service is working.
I have no problem to create and add this shape (here as an example in calc in python):

Code: Select all

def appletShape():
	doc = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()
	sheet = doc.Sheets[0]
	drawPage = sheet.DrawPage
	
	appletShape = doc.createInstance('com.sun.star.drawing.AppletShape')
	drawPage.add(appletShape)

The properties as per description https://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/com ... Shape.html are visible (I see them in the MRI-tool, I can also see them if I create the AppletShape in the APSO-console).

The problem is, I cannot change them. For example, if I try to change the AppletName after the creation, it crashes the application (calc, draw, impress on both OS).

I'm trying to understand if I do something wrong (or if this a bug) and in case mistake is on my side how to do it the right way.

Many thanks for your consideration in advance!

Hello again,

I guess, this service has not been maintained and does not exist anymore, even if in this post (https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/v ... lit=applet) it was not for sure that support have been dropped.

The image on this wiki site https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Docume ... er_objects still shows the applet insertion (OpenOffice 2.x guide), but on this wiki site https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Docume ... er_objects, it already disappeared (OpenOffice 3.x Guide).

Unless someone has other infos and if okay with one of the admins, I will mark the topic as solved.

This forum there seem to me to be a number of people who post replies very regularly - and have likely all seen your post and don't have a solution or would have answered by now. There are also less frequent repliers who pop up occassionally with an answer for posts that no-one else had and who might not have seen it yet.

Your signature says LibreOffice but the links are all openoffice.
If it makes any difference, the LibreOffice documentation is here:

https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/re ... ml#details

https://ask.libreoffice.org/

has other people who know things that people here might not, if you haven't thought to post there.

Thanks for your reply, JeJe.

For the links you are right, but as the LibreOffice API page references the Apache OpenOffice wiki for the developer's guide, I thought it might be worth to look into the the Apache OpenOffice user's guide.

I'll do as you suggest and will also raise the question in this forum. If I catch anything worth knowing, I'll post it here.
