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

Sorry, using my phone for this... And off the top of my head...

Each object usually supports multiple interfaces...

In basic, the actual type does not matter.

Names starting with an x refer to an interface.

I need to look it up, but I think that the preference was a variant rather than object, but...

It may no longer matter

The developer who told me this could not remember why it when it mattered

And

I only had a problem because of it once, and that was years ago.

Other languages, like Java, it matters. I'd we had a smarter IDE it might be useful to declare the 
actual type.
