Hi :) I think the devs list is just very busy and they might have just missed your question. If they haven't answered after a day or 2 then it might be worth re-posting. However you might find some of the documentation useful from the bottom of the Documentation wiki http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation#Other_Documentation_and_Resources I'm not sure. Good luck and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: zzyzcx <aaron.rasmussen@me.com> To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Tue, 2 August, 2011 16:57:57 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Trying to learn how to program LibO - Trouble getting started I'm running LibO 3.3.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I've got NetBeans 6.8 installed with the OpenOffice.org API plugin, version 2.0.6. I'm trying to learn the basics of how to build client applications and add-ons for LibO, and so I'm working my way through the DevGuide and running the example programs. For some reason I can't get the example FirstLoadComponent to work. It opens LibO, but no new spreadsheet is created as it is supposed to be. I'm curious if this is a compatibility issue (the last OpenOffice.org API came out a while back) or if something else is going on. Some research I've done suggests that maybe I need to start LibO in "Listening Mode": http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Starting_OpenOffice.org_in_Listening_Mode http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Starting_OpenOffice.org_in_Listening_Mode But I've tried this and it doesn't help. Has anyone invented this wheel before? P.S. I tried posting a similar question in the Developer's list-serve, but I got no responses - I believe it's a bit too basic for the kind of work they are doing over there, and I'm hoping someone over here can help. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Trying-to-learn-how-to-program-LibO-Trouble-getting-started-tp3219389p3219389.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
