macro not working when OO started via Java API

Hi,

I'm using the Java bootstrap method to open a OO Writer
document as
described in:

http://codesnippets.services.o
penoffice.org/Office/Office.BootstrapOpenOffice.snip


However, when there are macros included in the document that
I'm opening,
the user gets no Alert that the document contains macro's.
The macros
are present, but they do nothing when the users calls them
via the OO GUI.
When opening openoffice normally via Windows, I get  a
warning, and
the macros work.

I tried to play with the macro security settings but to no
avail.

Can I solve this problem programmaticly, or is this a bug ?

thx,

Dominique De Munck

I assume that you didn't specify the MacroExecMode:

http://api.openoffice.org/docs
/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/MacroExecMode.html

It has to be provided in the MediaDescriptor (the arguments
sent with
the loadComponentFromURL call) as described at

http://api.open
office.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/OfficeDev/OfficeDev.xhtml#1_
1_5_Handling_Documents

You also should add the DocumentUpdateMode.

http://api.openoffice.org/docs
/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/UpdateDocMode.html

Ciao,
Mathias

your assumption was right! I did search in the developer
docs on this,
but got a bit lost.

Thanx a lot !


for the record, this is how I did it:



PropertyValue[] myProperties = new PropertyValue[3];
    	myProperties[0] = new PropertyValue();
    	myProperties[0].Name = "Hidden";
    	// for open document and do not show user interface use
"true"
    	myProperties[0].Value = new Boolean(false);
    	
    	myProperties[1] = new PropertyValue();
    	myProperties[1].Name = 
"MacroExecutionMode";
    	myProperties[1].Value =  new
Short(MacroExecMode.ALWAYS_EXECUTE_NO_WARN);
    	
    	myProperties[2] = new PropertyValue();
    	myProperties[2].Name =  "UpdateDocMode";
    	myProperties[2].Value =  new
Short(UpdateDocMode.ACCORDING_TO_CONFIG);
    	
    	// Load a given document
    	try	{
    		 xComponent = xComponentLoader.loadComponentFromURL(
    				source_File,  // For createUNOFileURL see:
../Office/Office.CreateUNOCompatibleURL.snip
    				"_blank",                       // New
windos
    				0,                              // Is ignored
    				myProperties);            // Special properties
    	}

The "do nothing" issue is reported here:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74177
Perhaps you could add a comment about the case using a
macro.

thanks
