Fwd: [libreoffice-users] Macro Dim Dialog and Control

Oops, sorry. I did it again, I accidentally replied privately rather than
to the list. I'm sorry for that, Robert.

No, I actually faked it for this mailing list. The real name is in Swedish,
so I figured it would be easier for you guys if I picked an English name
instead, just for this example. But the name isn't the problem anyway. My
question is if there is an ”extended data type” for dialogs and controls,
just like there is for sheets (com.sun.star.sheet.XSpreadsheet) and cells (
com.sun.star.table.XCell). I searched for and while and thought that
com.sun.star.awt.XDialog could be it for dialogs, but as I said, I got that
error message. When I used Object, like you do below, everything worked for
me too, but my question wasn't about getting it working, it was if there is
such a data type. I'm not doing anything particular, I'm just trying to
learn this new stuff about those ”new data types”, that I enable by
selecting Tools → Options… → LibreOffice → Advanced → Activate experimental
features, then restart LibreOffice, then Tools → Options… → LibreOffice →
Basic IDE options → ☒ Use extended data types (give or take some words or
phrases, since this is a translation from Swedish).

When trying to get information I found this page:
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Basic_IDE_Options#Use_extended_types

However, they only provided two examples of those new data types (the two I
mention above), and there's no link or anything that points to the rest of
them, so it's pretty useless, unfortunately.

Yes, that's how I used to do it, and it usually work for me too, but this
wasn't what I asked about. My question is about those new data types,
mentioned on the page I referred to above.

I'm sorry for my confusing English, which obviously isn't my native
language.
Thanks for replying, though! :)


Kind regards
