Description apdata 2005-10-27 00:08:42 UTC 
If you run a in OpenOffice Writer or Calc over an OLE-Connection you cant get 
a macro returnvalue. Thats not good, because the MS Office products can it and 
many companys use Macros for her Interface to control the Office Suite. If 
there want to migrate to OpenOffice.org, they have problems.

For a better and easier way to migrate an appication interface from MS Office 
to OpenOffice.org this function is needed.

If there is a way, please correct me, but i have posted serval Posts in 
Maillinglists and Forums and all say there is no way.

Try it with the new Scripting Framework please, I am not sure if OLE - UNO has well-working type 
mappings for that, but I hope so.
See the last discussions on the api mailinglist.

sw->apdata: I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve ... are you trying to
execute a OOo Basic macro from your program using the OLE-Bridge ? ... why not
coding the macro directly in your application instead of dispatching it ?
Comment 4 apdata 2005-11-03 09:49:52 UTC 
Because, the performance is better, when you run macros. If you make all with 
OLE, it works much slower. 

And, if there is an error with the macros (openoffice integration), we have 
only to change it and not the complete application. So that we can sent fixes 
to the customers using email.

I will check the new Scripting Framework.

sw->ab: can you comment on the possibilities to execute OOo-Basic macros and
gather the return value from outside Basic ?

As far as I no really not possible currently. Sounds like a difficult
problem as many levels are involved. -> OOo later
