Hi Michael,

That's loads of good info. Looking at your link below and browsing around, I realised what Stephen 
meant when he used "EasyHacks" in one of the replies.
For now I'll stick with the 3.6.4.3 and refer to release notes as I upgrade to newer versions.

Thanks
Neeraj

Hi Stephan,

I am unable to find XDesktop2. Your sample below looks really simple
and right way to go. I am working with release version 3.6.4.3 -
built it from tar files.

XDesktop2 was only added a month ago, so it's only in 4.0.

of course when using the newest features it's always a problem that it
doesn't allow deploying your extension or whatever on older versions then...

I don't mind upgrading to latest tip, but I had trouble building the
git checkout version. Being fairly new to this large and
comprehensive product, I decided to take the easy way to begin.

you can also download 4.0 beta releases, actually there should be a RC1
now even; i would expect those also have the SDK available.

I would also be curious to know how to find out about such api -
unfortunately, right now I am reading only specific emails on dev
group and unable to follow conversations on other topics. Is reading
docs the best way ? Is it possible to find some sample code ?

good question... currently the only real info for developers who don't
follow the git commits, which is probably no extension or macro
developer does, is the 4.0 release notes, which has a section on API
Changes:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.0#API_Changes

but that doesn't talk much about what is added, mostly it's about what
is changed or removed.

of course you can also search in the API reference (or the IDL files)
for "since" tags with a particular version.

the OOo project had a "interface-announce" mailing list, which was used
both for API changes and additions, and for internal implementation
interface changes; i wonder how many extension developers actually read
that list in its time.
