ToCalc() Method to transfer xBrowse Data to OpenOffice Calc

ToCalc() Method to transfer xBrowse Data to OpenOffice Calc

Postby anserkk » Tue Jan 13, 2009 11:00 am

Hi,

I have edited this post on 28-Jan-2009
The below given code is updated with the new changes


Here is the new method to transfer xBrowse Data to OpenOffice Calc (Equivalent to MS Excel).
This code is in a very preliminary stage, but definitely it transfers data from xBrowse to OpenOffice Calc.

Anybody here interested in this piece of code can modify and add more functionalities and share it here. It is even possible to transfer xBrowse data to PDF format by adding a new parameter and few lines of code to this method. Will be useful for clients who wants to use OpenSource and there by reduce the cost on MS Office.

ToCalc() can Export xBrowse Data to PDF,MS Excel and HTML formats as of now

Compared to the Method ToExcel(), the following are the limitations as of now

1) Group totals not implemented. (Implemented Now)
2) Another drawback is that OpenOffice Calc is showing a dialog while pasting data from clipboard to calc. User has to click on the OK button of that Dialog to proceed with the data transfer. As of now I don't know how to avoid that dialog but definitlely there will be an option to bypass this. ( I have implemeted 2 different ways for transfering Data from XBrowse to OpenOffice Calc. User now have the option to choose the which method to be used for the transfer. Method 2 is the default, but method 1 is found to be much faster, but this method will bring a popup dialog as I said)
3) Date format technique needs to be modified. ( Done )
4 Multi Language support added

Please add the following code to your xBrowse.Prg
Method ToCalc(bProgress, nGroupBy, nPasteMode, aSaveAs)

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

Re: Method to transfer xBrowse Data to OpenOffice Calc

Postby anserkk » Thu Jan 15, 2009 8:24 am

Hi,

Anybody here tried to copy a Tab Delimited text from NotePad to OpenOffice Calc. The calc will open a Popup Dialog named "Text Import".

I understand If we provide proper parameter along with the Paste command then we can avoid that Popup dialog.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
oDispatcher:ExecuteDispatch(oBook:GetCurrentController():GetFrame(), ".uno:Paste", "", 0, {})


The last parameter in the above code ie { } is the slot for sending parameters for the command executed ie Paste

I have Googled a lot to find a solution to avoid the Dialog but not yet successful.

Anybody here tried something similiar.

The alternative method is to Read the data one by one and paste it on each cell, which I have found is very inefficient and time consuming.

Regards

I think you can create also a pdf from openoffice
ocalc:SaveToPDF( "c:\test.pdf" )
but I think you must call the function fron your method


and U can set cell properties

xCellRange = xSpreadsheet.getCellRangeByPosition(start_col, start_row, end_col, end_row);

xPropertySet = (XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, xCellRange);

//bold
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("CharWeight", new Float(com.sun.star.awt.FontWeight.BOLD));

//italic
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("CharPosture", com.sun.star.awt.FontSlant.ITALIC);

//underline
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("CharUnderline", new Short(com.sun.star.awt.FontUnderline.SINGLE));

//fontname
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("CharFontName", "Times" );

//fontsize
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("CharHeight", new Float(12.0) );

//Horizantal Alignment
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("HoriJustify", com.sun.star.table.CellHoriJustify.LEFT);

//Vertical Alignment
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("VertJustify", com.sun.star.table.CellVertJustify.CENTER);

//Cell Background Color
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("CellBackColor", new Integer(65281));

//Cell Foreground Color
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("CharColor", new Integer(16777216));

new function


STAT FUN Dispatcher( oDispatcher,oBook, cMethod, aArgs )
DEFAULT aArgs := {}
IF ValType( aArgs ) == "O"; aArgs := { aArgs }; ENDIF
RETURN oDispatcher:ExecuteDispatch( oBook:GetCurrentController():GetFrame(), ".uno:" + cMethod, "", 0, aArgs )


SAMPLE :
Dispatcher("Bold")


DO U LIKE IT ?

Re: Method to transfer xBrowse Data to OpenOffice Calc

Dear Mr.Silvio,

Thanks for the information.

I think you can create also a pdf from openoffice
ocalc:SaveToPDF( "c:\test.pdf" )

I have plans to include the option to Save the xBrowse Data as a PDF file

The array aArg is where I am struck. I don't know the right parameters to be sent along with the Dispatcher.Execute command

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
".Uno:Paste "


or

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
".Uno:PasteSpecial"


aArgs should contain the right parameters saying that the text in the clipboard is Tab Delimited so that I can avoid the "Text Import" Dialog.

Something similiar to
Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
   oArg := oService:Bridge_GetStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue" )
   oArg:Name  := "Format"
   oArg:Value := 10


Regards

Anser have you saw my function ?


STAT FUN Dispatcher( oDispatcher,oBook, cMethod, aArgs )
DEFAULT aArgs := {}
IF ValType( aArgs ) == "O"; aArgs := { aArgs }; ENDIF
RETURN oDispatcher:ExecuteDispatch( oBook:GetCurrentController():GetFrame(), ".uno:" + cMethod, "", 0, aArgs )


SAMPLE :

Dispatcher("Bold")
or
Dispatcher( "PrintPreview" )
or
Dispatcher( "Print" )
or
Dispatcher( "Copy" )
or
Dispatcher( "Paste" )



to save it on pdf
oBook:storeToURL( "file:///" + ConvertToURL( cFile ),{ GetPropertyValue( "FilterName", "calc_pdf_Export" ) } )

another function
stat function ConvertToURL( cFile )
LOCAL nFor, nLen := Len( cFile )
FOR nFor := 1 TO nLen
IF cFile[ nFor ] == "\"
cFile[ nFor ] := "/"
ENDIF
NEXT
RETURN cFile


to SaveTo XLS

oBook:storeToURL( "file:///" + ConvertToURL( cFile ),{ GetPropertyValue( "FilterName", "MS Excel 97" ) } )
Best Regards, Saludos

You are welcome :D

I saw your functions. AS of now all those part are working clear in the Method which I have posted above. The only problem is the nagging dialog appearing while the Paste command is executed

Anser can you send me the test sample to try the method calc

You just have to add the code which I have posted in the starting post of this thread to your xBrowse.Prg.
METHOD ToCalc( bProgress ) CLASS TXBrowse
STATIC FUNCTION GetPropertyValue(oService, cName, xValue )

If you want you can download my xMate project file and the required DBF and Test PRG's from the link here.

http://rapidshare.com/files/183719982/xBrowseOpen.zip

Please note the ToCalc() code is really wierd as of now because I am playing around with different possible option to Paste the contents without the "Text Import" dialog. If u have any doubt regarding my code, please let me know.

Regards

I believe that this code should work with recent versions of xbrowse. I have not touched any other Methods or DATA in the xBrowse. ToCalc() is a new method.

Dear Silvio,

I not see the import dialog
your PasteUnformattedText(oCalc,oBook) function run good !!


Calc is showing the Dialog while trying to paste the Tab delimited text from the clipboard. That's why I tried another alternative way thru the function PasteUnformattedText(oCalc,oBook).

But I prefer to use the Paste technique after finding a way to avoid the dialog. PasteUnformattedText consumes more time than the Paste technique.

Have you made the Totals ?

No. On the way I got struck with the paste problem. This can be implemented.

Date Format Problem Solved

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
if ValType( oCol:cEditPicture ) == 'C' .and. !( oCol:cEditPicture = '@' )
   oSheet:GetColumns():GetByIndex( nCol-1 ):NumberFormat:=GetNumberFormatId(oBook,  oCol:cEditPicture  )
else
    oSheet:GetColumns():GetByIndex( nCol-1 ):NumberFormat:=GetNumberFormatId(oBook,  Set( _SET_DATEFORMAT )  )
Endif

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
STATIC Function GetNumberFormatId(oBook, cNumberFormat)
LOCAL cCharLocale,nFormatId
cCharLocale = oBook:GetPropertyValue("CharLocale")
nFormatId = oBook:GetNumberFormats:QueryKey(cNumberFormat, cCharLocale, .F.)

IF nFormatId = -1 // 'Format is not yet defined
   nFormatId = oBook:GetNumberFormats:AddNew(cNumberFormat, cCharLocale)
Endif
RETURN nFormatId
