Description steffen.grund 2004-02-12 14:25:26 UTC 
Trying to set a parent style on an own created style (and on an Office style)
throws a RuntimeException.

The following macro reproduces this (with an own created style):

Sub Main
	xNameAccess = ThisComponent.getStyleFamilies()
	xStyleFamily = xNameAccess.getByName("PageStyles")
	xStyle = xStyleFamily.getByName("Default")

	myStyle = ThisComponent.CreateInstance("com.sun.star.style.PageStyle")

	xStyleFamily.insertByName("MyStyle", myStyle)
	myStyle.setParentStyle(xStyle.getName())
End Sub

Developer's Guide 7.4.1 says :
Note that page and numbering styles are not hierarchical and cannot have parent styles. 
The method getParentStyle() always returns an empty string, and the method 
setParentStyle() throws a com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException when called at a default 
style.

Consequently I think this report should be Invalid.
Comment 5 steffen.grund 2004-11-01 10:13:31 UTC 
RuntimeExceptions should "signal an error, which was not covered by the
interface method specification". Since the behaviour of the interface is inside
of the specification, it should throw an exception that makes more sense.

The idl definition of XStyle::setParentStyle suggests a NoSuchElementException.

So the Deveoper's Guide has to be updated, too.

IMHO the bug is fully justified with this target and prio.
