Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 69735
allow programmatic access to the query design window
Last modified: 2007-08-19 05:24:29 UTC
The query designer is not part of the desktop currently. This means that one cannot enumerate or otherwise obtain the "sub" frames of a database document window. It is possible to obtain a reference to the Query design window, but only in the specific case of the query designer being directly on top of the Base window. The two windows however, are not linked in any other way. There are times when macro developers will want to operate on the contents of the query. As is stands now this is much more difficult then it should be, and in some instances not doable at all.
changing summary, 'cause: Making the query design part of the desktop is not an option (sorry Drew if I wasn't clear with this in the mailing lists :-\). What we need is a possibility to programmatically access the query design, and all other "sub components" of a database window. Putting them into the desktop is only one way to achieve this, and definatily a bad one. In 2.0.1 (IIRC), they were, and this caused *a lot* of various trouble.
That is fine, the new summary captures the request more accuratly.

Created attachment 43574 [details] Basic macro showing programmatic access to sub frames of a database document's frame
The attached macro shows how to access sub frames of a database document's main frame. This macro works after CWS fwkdbdesign01 (http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/servlet/cws.ShowCWS?Path=SRC680%2Ffwkdbdesign01) has been integrated. => fixed in CWS fwkdbdesign01.
fs-> msc: please verify in CWS fwkdbdesign01
verified in CWS fwkdbdesign01 find more information about this CWS, like when it is available in the master builds, in EIS, the Environment Information System: http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Path=SRC680%2Ffwkdbdesign01
