RE: [libreoffice-dev] - questions about calc extension

Hi Kohei,

I looked a little more into your code and copied the getactiveSheet function. Now it takes 12s. I 
am happy.
Sorry for the spam - you have good code sitting there.

Thanks
Neeraj

Hi Kohei,

I figured out my bug. I was storing the context in a const Reference <> & const and it was going 
out of scope and being reclaimed after the constructor.
After changing it to normal Reference <>, everything is fine.
Thanks again for your time and patience. Hope you didn't have to waste any time based on last reply.

I tested updating 60K cells using this extension. It takes 90s. Is that acceptable performance ? 
Seems slow.
Anyway, that is a separate discussion and not critical. The main part was solved by your code.

Thanks
Neeraj

Hi Kohei,

1. I think I see what you are doing, but having trouble making it work.
--- my understanding of your code and the issue I face below -----
The create_XXX is passed the ComponentContext and you store it for future.
I tried the same but the calls to xContext->getServiceManager() aborts my program.
Interestingly,
        when the create_XXX is called, I try a fake xContext->getServiceManager() and it works.
        when I store it in my object , in the ctor, I try another fake 
xContext->getServiceManager() and it works.
        its only when I choose my custom function from menu and invoke this again, that the app 
terminates.
  Is there anything special about functions calls from menu.

Also, if the above commentary is misleading, you could look at the code
        create_CalcAddinCpp_impl is parallel to your create_SolverImpl (line 520: success)
        CalcAddinCpp_impl is parallel to your CalcInterface                 (line 88: success)
        methodTwo                                                                               
(line 159: calc terminates)

Is xcalc.cxx a working extension code that I can download and use ?
If not, do you know of other working samples ?
I would greatly appreciate any sample LO calc extension code to get my env working.

2. Your sample code answered my 2nd question .
        If I can get a context and spreadsheet, I can access different cells. I was trying to 
update different cells from single menu based function call.
        appreciate your time.
        The sample I based on was on wiki.openoffice.org which seems to be down

Thanks
Neeraj
