Dialog Control Elements Buttons A button performs an action when you click it. The simplest scenario is for the button to trigger a When Initiating event when it is clicked by a user. You can also link another action to the button to close a dialog using the PushButtonType property. When you click a button that has this property set to the value of 0, the dialog remains unaffected. If you click a button that has this property set to the value of 1, the dialog is closed, and the Execute method of the dialog returns the value 1 (dialog sequence has been ended correctly). If the PushButtonType has the value of 2, the dialog is closed and the Execute method of the dialog returns the value 0 (dialog closed). In the Dialog Editor, the property values are shown symbolically, as Default (0), Okay (1), and Cancel (2). The following are some of the properties that are available through the button model: Model.BackgroundColor (long) color of background Model.DefaultButton (Boolean) The button is used as the default value and responds to the Enter key if it has no focus Model.FontDescriptor (struct) structure that specifies the details of the font to be used (in accordance with com.sun.star.awt.FontDescriptor structure) Model.Label (String) label that is displayed on the button Model.Printable (Boolean) the control element can be printed Model.TextColor (Long) text color of the control element Model.HelpText (String) help text that is displayed when you move the mouse cursor over the control element Model.HelpURL (String) URL of the online help for the corresponding control element PushButtonType (short) action that is linked to the button (0: no action, 1: OK, 2: Cancel) Option Buttons These buttons are generally used in groups and allow you to select from one of several options. When you select an option, all of the other options in the group are deactivated. This ensures that at any one time, only one option button is set. An option button control element provides two properties: State (Boolean) activates the button Label (String) label that is displayed on the button You can also use the following properties from the model of the option buttons: Model.FontDescriptor (struct) structure with details of the font to be used (in accordance with com.sun.star.awt.FontDescriptor) 162 OpenOffice.org 3.2 BASIC Guide · March 2010
Model.Label (String) label that is displayed on the control element Model.Printable (Boolean) control element can be printed Model.State (Short) if this property is equal to 1, the option is activated, otherwise it is deactivated Model.TextColor (Long) text color of control element Model.HelpText (String) help text that is displayed when the mouse cursor rests over the control element Model.HelpURL (String) URL of online help for the corresponding control element Dialog Control Elements To combine several option buttons in a group, you must position them one after another in the activation sequence without any gaps (Model.TabIndex property, described as Order in the dialog editor). If the activation sequence is interrupted by another control element, then OpenOffice.org automatically starts with a new control element group that can be activated regardless of the first group of control elements. Note – VBA : Unlike VBA, you cannot insert option buttons in a group of control elements in OpenOffice.org Basic. The grouping of control elements in OpenOffice.org Basic is only used to ensure a visual division by drawing a frame around the control elements. Checkboxes Checkboxes are used to record a Yes or No value and depending on the mode, they can adopt two or three states. In addition to the Yes and No states, a check box can have an in-between state if the corresponding Yes or No status has more than one meaning or is unclear. Checkboxes provide the following properties: State (Short) state of the checkbox (0: no, 1: yes, 2: in-between state) Label (String) label for the control element enableTriState (Boolean) in addition to the activated and deactivated states, you can also use the in-between state The model object of a checkbox provides the following properties: Model.FontDescriptor (struct) structure with details of the font used (in accordance with com.sun.star.awt.FontDescriptor structure) Model.Label (String) label for the control element Model.Printable (Boolean) the control element can be printed Model.State (Short) state of the checkbox (0: no, 1: yes, 2: in-between state) Model.Tabstop (Boolean) the control element can be reached with the Tab key Chapter 11 · Dialogs 163
