--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
Yes, the issue is how we interact with OLE objects, not just the Formula editor
of the Math module.
For starters doing a sidebar content panel to control some facets of the frame
holding an OLE element would be helpful addition to all the modules. But those
controls would only be for layout, positioning and margins of the frame holding
the OLE. IMHO that control of an OLE frame is overdue across the GUI.
Seems actually linking to OLE controls from a Sidebar content panel would only
be possible for sources where we build the interface: so that would be for
Spreadsheet, Drawing, Formula, Chart, and Text. To control from the Sidebar
the OLE would have to run in the background, yet manipulate GUI commands--is
that even feasible.
Even if it is, imagine implementing control to pass to OLE for use in the
Sidebar would require substantial refactoring and would best be done with a
common framework across the modules.
And, it should be obvious that implementing .uno controls for other OLE content
exposed via the OS (e.g. Insert -> Object -> OLE Object Create New -> Further
Objects) would be a loosing code maintenance proposition. Way out of scope.
