Description cno 2008-03-17 22:04:50 UTC 
- PopUp for InputField in Autotext, not shown if Autotext is inserted via API - 

When I have an AutoText entry with an InputField, and choose to insert via UI
(Window/Short Name/Toolbar) a popUp for the InputField shows up

NB See Issue 87155 for a problem related to that)

When I insert the same AutoText Entry via code, the popUp doesn't show

( Code used to insert AText:
  oTextCursor = ThisComponent.currentController.getViewCursor()
  oAutoTextContainer = createUnoService("com.sun.star.text.AutoTextContainer")
  oGroup = oAutoTextContainer.getByName(sCategory)
  oEntry = oGroup.getByName(sName)
  oEntry.applyTo(oTextCursor) 
  )

->cornouws: How do you want to handle the input field dialog in your code? 
The use of the API should not pop up dialogs at all.

@ os:
hmm, I see. Indeed better would be triggering the update of inputfields by code
at the time that my code is ready for it. Especially when more autotext are
placed one after each other.
Sorry for the issue, thanks for the implicit explanantion.
