The StarDesktop 79
loadComponentFromURL Method Options
The fourth parameter of the loadComponentFromURL function is a PropertyValue data
field. which provides OpenOffice.org with various options for opening and creating
documents. The data field must provide a PropertyValue structure for each option in which
the name of the option is saved as a string as well as the associated value.
loadComponentFromURL supports the following options:
AsTemplate (Boolean)
if true, loads a new, untitled document from the given URL. If is false, template files
are loaded for editing.
CharacterSet (String)
defines which set of characters a document is based on.
FilterName (String)
specifies a special filter for the loadComponentFromURL function. The filter names
available are defined in the
\share\config\registry\instance\org\openoffice\office\TypeDetection.xml file.
FilterOptions (String)
defines additional options for filters.
JumpMark (String)
once a document has been opened, jumps to the position defined in JumpMark.
Password (String)
transfers a password for a protected file.
ReadOnly (Boolean)
loads a read-only document.
The following example shows how a text file separated by a comma in OpenOffice.org Calc
can be opened using the FilterName option.
Dim Doc As Object
Dim FileProperties(1) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
Dim Url As String
Url = "file:///C:/doc.csv"
FileProperties(0).Name = "FilterName"
FileProperties(0).Value ="Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)"
FileProperties(1).Name = "FilterOptions"
FileProperties(1).value = "44,34,0,1"
Doc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL(Url, "_blank", 0,
FileProperties())
The FileProperties data field covers precisely one value because it records one option. The
Filtername property defines whether OpenOffice.org uses a OpenOffice.org Calc text filter
to open files.
