[Mono-list] mono and LibreOffice (Ubuntu/Linux)

Tue Oct 18 12:04:17 UTC 2016

Hi,

i try’d dllimport before and everything works fine.

BUT I like(need) to have methods to fill data in textfields….

I know that everything could be made with methods and dllimport, but is this the recommended way?

Have a “easy” code on Windows and complicated on Ubuntu ??? :(

        private void FillHeader(IModel row)

        {

            // ReSharper disable SuspiciousTypeConversion.Global

            var xtextfields = ((XTextFieldsSupplier)Document).getTextFields();

            // ReSharper restore SuspiciousTypeConversion.Global

            var xText = Document.getText();

            var enumaration = xtextfields.createEnumeration();

            while (enumaration.hasMoreElements())

            {

                try

                {

                    var field = enumaration.nextElement();

                    if (!(field.Value is XTextField)) continue;

                    var name = (field.Value as XTextField).getAnchor().getString();

                    var value = GetPropertyValue(row, name);

                    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))

                    {

                        xText.removeTextContent((XTextField)field.Value);

                    }

                    else

                    {

                        (field.Value as XTextField).getAnchor().setString(value);

                    }

                }

                catch

                {

                    // ReSharper disable RedundantJumpStatement

                    continue;

                    // ReSharper restore RedundantJumpStatement

                }

            }

            var xModel = (Document);

            var xController = xModel.getCurrentController();

            // ReSharper disable SuspiciousTypeConversion.Global

            var xTextViewCursor = ((XTextViewCursorSupplier)xController).getViewCursor();

            // ReSharper restore SuspiciousTypeConversion.Global

            xTextViewCursor.gotoEnd(false);

        }

My use case for my service was very simple:

1) Convert a "whatever" document to PDF

2) Generate a XLS/Calc spreadsheet from XML data (this part was later dealt with using NPOI)

I found that using the C# and/or Java bindings the whole thing was quite unstable, so I wrote a small C/C++ wrapper, that in turn is called by Mono or .Net with a standard DLLImport. This works both on Linux and Windows (it's for a ASP.Net MVC web app that is developed and tested under Windows and deployed under Linux).

If you wish, code is freely (in any meaning) available, beware that it probably requires some cleaning up.

Sadly, I do not recall the details, and the little information that was available on the net has been gone.

But judging from a blog post of mine [1], it looks like Michael Meeks at the time ported the support to run with Mono.   Other than that, I do not have more information.

I managed to track down some old Addin for MonoDevelop, and you can maybe use this as a starting point for your investigations:

https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/tree/monodevelop-4.0.12-branch/extras/OpenOfficeSamples

I suggest you reach out to the open office team.

Ok, Thanks.

With Ubuntu > 12.04 can’t find “cli-cppuhelper” no more.

Is this a problem within mono or libreoffice?

If you use libreoffice > 3.5 you will see that it will not work.

Hello,

When I last used it, all the work took place on Unix, I do not recall using Windows at all.

Miguel.

Hi all,

i just restart working on a project that uses LibreOffice(CLI) from mono.

Now I am wondering that the assembly’s (cli_cppuhelper.dll) only run on Windows?

Is there is a way to get this working again?

/Regards
