Properties
Name and Title
Every control element has its own name that can be queried using the following model
property:
Model.Name (String)
control element name
You can specify the title that appears in the title bar of a dialog with the following model
property:
Model.Title (String)
dialog title (only applies to dialogs)
Position and Size
You can query the size and position of a control element using the following properties of
the model object:
Model.Height (long)
height of control element (in ma units)
Model.Width (long)
width of control element (in ma units)
Model.PositionX (long)
X-position of control element, measured from the left inner edge of the dialog (in ma
units)
Model.PositionY (long)
Y-position of control element, measured from top inner edge of the dialog (in ma units)
To ensure platform independence for the appearance of dialogs, OpenOffice.org uses the
Map AppFont (ma) internal unit to specify the position and size within dialogs. An ma unit
is defined as being one eighth of the average height of a character from the system font
defined in the operating system and one quarter of its width. By using ma units,
OpenOffice.org ensures that a dialog looks the same on different systems under different
system settings.
