| <h1>Application Framework Project</h1> |
| |
| <p><b>Project Owner:</b><a href="mailto:carsten.driesner@sun.com"> Carsten Driesner</a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>This project contains modules, that define the general |
| behaviour of the OpenOffice application components ( Writer, Calc etc. |
| ). This covers common operations, common objects or functionality on |
| one hand and a module for the integration of the components into the |
| external environment on the other hand. While the latter one is done by |
| the framework module, the first is done by the sfx2 module.</p> |
| |
| <big>The application framework project has a<a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/framework"> |
| wiki page</a>. We want to move |
| to the wiki in the near future! </big> |
| <p>The sfx2 module offers a complete set of features for an |
| application component, the most important are: </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>document persistance; loading and saving through |
| UCB |
| access</li> |
| |
| <li>compound document support, inplace editing</li> |
| |
| <li>multiple and different views for a document</li> |
| |
| <li>context sensitive user interface</li> |
| |
| <li>command dispatching infrastructure</li> |
| |
| <li>template handling</li> |
| |
| <li>docking windows</li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </ul> |

| <h3>Documentation/Examples/Add-ons</h3> |
| |
| There are several documents available which describe |
| features, provide valuable information about the framework |
| internals. |
| We also offer some example <a href="http://framework.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=226&expandFolder=226&folderID=0">add-ons</a> |
| which show interesting features of the |
| framework UNO API. Most documents/add-ons are available <a href="http://framework.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList">via |
| download as OpenOffice.org documents</a>. There is a second |
| section which presents <a href="drafts/documents.html">online |
| documents</a>.<br> |
| |
| <br> |
| |
| <h3>To Do List</h3> |
| |
| <p>You can find a list of tasks that we would like to implement |
| but |
| until now didn't find the time to do so. These tasks can be implemented |
| by experienced C++ developers that want to help us. You would |
| definitely get support or help of the regular framework developers. If |
| you are interested to work on one of these tasks please contact us on |
| our "dev" mailing list or via e-mail to the framework project lead.</p> |
