Re: Open web page from dialog

Hi Fernand,

thank you for the tip with UnoControlFixedHyperlinkModel. Now this is
what I have:

Reference<XDialog> xDialog; // Created from XDialogProvider somewhere
earlier in the code

First question: How do I get a MultiServiceFactory from XDialog to
create the control? If I use the MultiComponentFactory the properties
like "PositionX" etc. are not present

Now assuming I get this MultiServiceFactory from somewhere:

Reference< XPropertySet >
xPSHyperlink(xMultiServiceFactory->createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlFixedHyperlinkModel",
xCC), UNO_QUERY_THROW);
xPSHyperlink->setPropertyValue("PositionX", makeAny(50));
xPSHyperlink->setPropertyValue("PositionY", makeAny(30));
xPSHyperlink->setPropertyValue("Width", makeAny(50));
xPSHyperlink->setPropertyValue("Height", makeAny(14));
xPSHyperlink->setPropertyValue("Label", makeAny(OU("Help")));
xPSHyperlink->setPropertyValue("URL",
makeAny(OU("http://ooo-imath.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page";)));

Second question: How do I get a XControl from the
UnoControlFixedHyperlinkModel  to add to the ControlContainer?

Reference< XControlContainer > xControlContainer(xDialog, UNO_QUERY_THROW);
xControlContainer->addControl(OU("button_help"), xHyperlinkControl);

I have looked all over the UNO API but am not getting anywhere.

Thanks,
Jan
