how to embed openoffice [message #447288]

Hi,

I've been using the Openoffice.org OfficeBean to embed OpenOffice in a
AWT application. Well, I used that app only to test OO-embedding and now
I'm looking for a decent java window toolkit.

AFAIK, it should theoretically be possible to embed OO in SWT (it isn't
in Swing, because Swing uses non-native-drawing-routines), the only
thing is: I have no idea how. Obviously, many widgets expect a
shell-parameter which notices the shell to draw them, but of course the
O.o O-Bean does not expect a shell-parameter in it's constructor beause
it is used to the process that the layout manager is explicitly told to
show this new widget.

Is there a way to get AWT-Components to work in SWT? If there was, maybe
that would be similar to the solution for my OO-problem? Or does anybody
happen to know how to embed OpenOffice?

thanks,
Jochen

You can embed AWT in SWT using the SWT_AWT class. See:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet135.java?rev=HEAD& amp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

thanks, I figured out how to embed AWT components, unfortunately, the
OfficeBean does not seem to be compatible to SWT

(Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: assertion failed
at com.sun.star.beans.LocalOfficeWindow.getNativeWindow(Native Method)
at
com.sun.star.beans.LocalOfficeWindow.aquireSystemWindow(Loca lOfficeWindow.java:171)
at
com.sun.star.beans.LocalOfficeWindow.setVisible(LocalOfficeW indow.java:226)
at swt1.BasicOfficeBean.load(BasicOfficeBean.java:187)
at swt1.Snippet137.main(Snippet137.java:30)
)

thanks a lot anyway.

bye
Jochen

Hello Jochen,

do you have any idea what this incompatibility could be?

Thanks,
Jörg.

I think I've already seen this when I tried to get the officebean
directly on a Swing JForm. I'd guess that maybe the officebean does not
get a native window handle in the format it expects, if it gets one at
all, but that's wild guessing right now.

Besides, this is not related to the fact that the SWT/AWT bridge does
not work correctly on linux with jdk 1.4.2, I upgraded to 1.5.0 to get
Veronika's Snippet 135 working.

My source is (LocalOfficeConnection, SimpleBean and dependant files are
taken from the OO-SDK):

package swt1;

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import java.awt.Frame;
import com.sun.star.beans.LocalOfficeConnection;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.awt.SWT_AWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Snippet138 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final Display display = new Display();
final Shell shell = new Shell(display);

Composite comp = new Composite(shell,SWT.EMBEDDED);
Frame frame = SWT_AWT.new_Frame(comp);
SimpleBean rv = new SimpleBean();
rv.setOfficeConnection(new LocalOfficeConnection());

// this next command causes a getNativeWindow-Assertion
try {
rv.load("private:factory/swriter");
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
frame.add( rv );
frame.setVisible(true);

// seems as if SOME sort of layout is needed
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(1, false);
shell.setLayout(layout);

shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
}

bye
Jochen
