Hi there,Be aware that in master regarding the import of controls ( ole/ocx controls and userform controls ) , please be on the look out for any regressions in this area and let me know. Note: the import of older form controls is still handled in the escher import in filters, the hasn't changed. If you are interested in the background etc. read on, otherwise that's it
In an effort to reduce some confusing duplication I have started to try and 'retire' various parts of filter code that are duplicated. For some time now import of ole userform controls has been using the new filter code in oox but the import of those same controls ( when not appearing in a userform ) has been using the old filter code in filters/source/msfilter/msocximex.cxx.
The integration is still quiet ugly while this transition is ongoing, regarding ole/ocx controls the export of these is still handled in the old filter ( I didn't investigate yet what export capability ( if any ) is in the new filter) it appears this is only relevant for writer. Additionally there were some controls that were handled in the old filter that were not in the new one ( I ported those ). The changes ( rather more than I expected ) are below

It would be really nice to get rid of that old code too.
thanks, Noel
