Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I use a singleton in LibO basic?

Hi Peter,

an example using the macro expander which is a singleton as well, defined as :
"/singletons/com.sun.star.util.theMacroExpander"

8< -------------------------------------------------------

Dim oContext as Object          'context object
Dim oMacroExpand as Object      'macro expander
Dim Result As String
        
oContext = getProcessServiceManager().DefaultContext
oMacroExpand = oContext.getValueByName("/singletons/com.sun.star.util.theMacroExpander")

Result = oMacroExpand.ExpandMacros("$UNO_USER_PACKAGES_CACHE")

------------------------------------------------------- >8

the above example is working here in this context.

HTH,

Objet: [libreoffice-users] How do I use a singleton in LibO basic?

I want to use one of the API singletons (com.sun.star.util.thePathSettings
since you ask) but I can find nothing in the documentation telling me how to
create the (only) instance so I can get some of the properties.

As I understand singletons, they have a hidden constructor, and some form of
creator method which ensures that only one instance exists. But the
documentation for the singleton does not have any such method. I've tried
various syntactic forms to create one, none of which has worked.

Can some kind soul please put me out of my misery?

I know that I can use PathSettings, but this is deprecated, and I prefer to
be up-to-date.

I'm using LibO 5.4.5.1 if that helps.
