| <P> |
| |
| Basic is a scripting language directly integrated in OpenOffice.org. |
| OpenOffice.org is based on the language independent component model |
| <a href="../../common/man/uno.html">UNO</a>. In the moment it's |
| not possible write components in Basic. But already existing |
| components and the complete OpenOffice.org API based on UNO can be |
| accessed from Basic. |
| |
| <P> |
| |
| The following list contains some sources that explain how Basic |
| can be used for accessing UNO. |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li> The general functionality of StarBasic is described in the |
| OpenOffice.org online help system.</li> |
| |
| <li> Description of the UNO/Basic language binding: |
| <a href="http://api.openoffice.org/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.html"> |
| Developers guide</a> |
| , chapter ProfessionalUNO.pdf, paragraph 3.4.4 Basic. |
| This document is part of the UNO Developer |
| Manual. Although only the Basic chapter contains explicit information about UNO |
| programming with Basic, the whole document can also be useful for Basic programmers as |
| a general UNO development overview.</li> |
| |
| <li> API related information about the Basic programming language: |
| <a href="http://api.openoffice.org/source/browse/api/devmanual/BasicAndDialogs/UsingBasic.xml"> |
| UsingBasic.xml</a> <br> |
| (this DRAFT document will become part of the UNO Developer Manual). * </li> |
| |
| <li> The Integrated development Environment used to write Basic programs and to design |
| dialogs the can be used from Basic is described in: |
| <a href="http://api.openoffice.org/source/browse/api/devmanual/BasicAndDialogs/BasicIDE.xml"> |
| BasicIDE.xml</a> <br> |
| (this DRAFT document will become part of the UNO Developer Manual). * </li> |
| |
| <li> Description of the toolkit controls that are used to create Basic dialogs and the |
| corresponding API: |
| <a href="http://api.openoffice.org/source/browse/api/devmanual/BasicAndDialogs/ToolkitControls.xml"> |
| ToolkitControls.xml</a> <br> |
| (this DRAFT document will become part of the UNO Developer Manual). * </li> |
| |
| <li> The organisation of Basic libraries and the corresponding API is described in: |
| <a href="http://api.openoffice.org/source/browse/api/devmanual/BasicAndDialogs/BasicLibraries.xml"> |
| BasicLibraries.xml</a> <br> |
| (this DRAFT document will become part of the UNO Developer Manual). * </li> |
| |
| <li> A simple UNO developers guide can be found here: |
| <a href="http://api.openoffice.org/basic/man/tutorial/tutorial.pdf"> |
| Tutorial.pdf</a>. <br>This is an older document and refers to the UNO API in |
| StarOffice 5.2 but in general it's still valid for StarOffice 6.0 / OpenOffice.org.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| |
| * All DRAFT documents are stored in a special flat XML format that |
| needs a special |
| <a href="http://api.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDownloadList?action=download&dlID=16"> |
| filter</a> to read them (for details see |
| <a href="http://api.openoffice.org/source/browse/api/devmanual/guideline.html"> |
| guideline.html</a>). The flat XML format doesn't contain pictures but only links to pictures. So also some |
| image files (located in the same cvs directory) may be needed to display the according documents correctly. |
