Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 558
_hidden not a valid frame name for loadComponentFromURL
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:07:30 UTC
The doc says that _hidden will create a new hidden frame. Instead, loading the document fails. Indeed, framework/inc/defines.hxx doesn't know about _hidden
AFAIK framework/inc/defines.hxx has nothing to do with the API. But, anyway, implementation bugs belong to the implementation modules. And I know, _hidden once worked.
I filed this bug in API, documentation, because this is where the _hidden is mentionned, as the URL in the issue indicates. I mentionned framework/inc/defines.hxx because this is where other frame name constants are defined; in my reasoning, if _hidden does not appear there, it's more likely a documentation problem (either wishful thinking or deprecated feature). If _hidden had appeared in this file, I would have filed the issue under some other project... Anyway, you guys probably underestimate the difficulty for people outside of Sun/Star to figure out exactly WHERE a bug belongs, so please be patient. Back to regular mailing-lists drivels ;-)
The usage of "_hidden" if redundant, because opening documents in a hidden mode can also be done by adding a PropertyValue "Hidden" with value "True" to the parameter sequence in the dispatch() or loadComponentFromURL() call. I prefer this way, so we should remove "_hidden" from the documentation.
Mathias conviced me. We better drop this feature, it's redundant. I changed the documentation. It will show up with the next build.
changing QA contact.
