[Java, BSH and JS Script examples] Display a message box

[hol.sten]

Question: Display a messageBox in JavaScript Code
In the OpenOffice.org Forum andreasbe raised the question, how to display a messageBox in JavaScript Code? Villeroy answered with a Python example for showing a simple message box.

Java and Java script solution
After several failures converting Villeroy's example directly to a BeanShell script I got the following Java code working first:

Code: Select all

import com.sun.star.awt.ActionEvent;
import com.sun.star.awt.KeyEvent;
import com.sun.star.awt.MessageBoxButtons;
import com.sun.star.awt.MouseEvent;
import com.sun.star.awt.Rectangle;
import com.sun.star.awt.XMessageBox;
import com.sun.star.awt.XMessageBoxFactory;
import com.sun.star.awt.XWindow;
import com.sun.star.awt.XWindowPeer;
import com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue;
import com.sun.star.comp.helper.BootstrapException;
import com.sun.star.frame.XComponentLoader;
import com.sun.star.frame.XDesktop;
import com.sun.star.frame.XModel;
import com.sun.star.lang.XMultiComponentFactory;
import com.sun.star.script.provider.XScriptContext;
import com.sun.star.uno.Exception;
import com.sun.star.uno.UnoRuntime;
import com.sun.star.uno.XComponentContext;

import ooo.connector.BootstrapSocketConnector;

		// document. Whatever the reason has been, we create a new document.

	  e.printStackTrace();
	} catch (Exception e) {
	  e.printStackTrace();
	} finally {
	  System.exit(0);
	}
  }
}

This Java example shows several message box examples and the selected buttons for each example. The example works as a stand alone Java application, using the BootstrapSocketConnector or as a Java script, if you provide an additional parcel-descriptor.xml like it has been described in [Java] OOo Writer and Calc macro examples.

BeanShell script solution
After the Java code worked, it was easy to transform the code to a BeanShell script:

Code: Select all

import com.sun.star.uno.UnoRuntime;

import com.sun.star.awt.MessageBoxButtons;
import com.sun.star.awt.Rectangle;
import com.sun.star.awt.XMessageBox;

      break;
    case RESULT_NO:
      button = "No";
      break;
    case RESULT_RETRY:
      button = "Retry";
      break;
    case RESULT_IGNORE:

      break;
    default:
      button = "Unknown";
  }
		
  messageBoxTitle = "Result";
  message = "Button selected: "+button;
  showInfoMessageBox(parentWindowPeer,messageBoxTitle,message);
}

short showSimpleMessageBox(XWindowPeer parentWindowPeer,String messageBoxTitle,String message) {

    return 0;

}

short showMessageBox(XWindowPeer parentWindowPeer,String messageBoxType,int messageBoxButtons,String messageBoxTitle,String message) {
  if (parentWindowPeer == null || messageBoxType == null || messageBoxTitle == null || message == null)
    return 0;

  // Initialize the message box factory

result = showRetryCancelErrorMessageBox(parentWindowPeer,messageBoxTitle,message);
showResult(parentWindowPeer,result);


// BeanShell OpenOffice.org scripts should always return 0
return 0;

How to install a BeanShell script has been described in [BeanShell] OOo Calc macro example.

JavaScript solution
And finally, to convert the Java code to JavaScript has been easy, too:

Code: Select all

importClass(Packages.com.sun.star.uno.UnoRuntime);

}

function showOkCancelWarningMessageBox(parentWindowPeer,messageBoxTitle,message) {

    return 0;

  return showMessageBox(parentWindowPeer,TYPE_WARN_MESSAGE_BOX,MessageBoxButtons.BUTTONS_OK_CANCEL+MessageBoxButtons.DEFAULT_BUTTON_OK,messageBoxTitle,message);

showResult(parentWindowPeer,result);

To install the JavaScript code is very similar to installing a BeanShell script.

09. Mar. 2008: Enhanced Java code example that can be called from a toolbar and a button, too (http://www.rugludallur.com/index.php?id=31)
17. Feb. 2008: Creation of the script examples

[Villeroy]

Since hol.sten mentioned it, I copied my Python class from the old forum. Initialize with a parent window, such as XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDesktop().CurrentController.ContainerWindow(). Method msgbox takes the same arguments as it's Basic equivalent and also returns the same values. Addionaly you can use the named constants of this class.
Small API bug: Notice the comments on DEFAULT_BUTTON_IGNORE. Issue 79327 has been resolved. DEFAULT_BUTTON_IGNORE should work since version 2.4

Code: Select all

class MessageBox:
    '''Message box for OpenOffice.org, like the one in the Basic macro language. To specify a MsgBox type, use the named constants of this class or the equivalent numbers described in the StarBasic online help. Specify a parent window on initialization.'''

    # Named constants for ease of use:
    OK = 0
    OK_CANCEL = 1
    ABORT_RETRY_IGNORE = 2
    YES_NO_CANCEL = 3
    YES_NO = 4
    RETRY_CANCEL = 5
    ERROR = 16
    QUERY = 32
    WARN = 48
    INFO = 64
    DEFAULT_FIRST = 128
    DEFAULT_SECOND = 256
    DEFAULT_THIRD = 512
    RESULT_OK = 1
    RESULT_CANCEL = 2
    RESULT_ABORT = 3
    RESULT_RETRY = 4
    RESULT_IGNORE = 5
    RESULT_YES = 6
    RESULT_NO = 7

    # Mapping above StarBasic MsgBox constants to awt.MessageBoxButtons and icons:
    dInput = {
        OK_CANCEL : BUTTONS_OK_CANCEL,
        # the following constant should be named BUTTONS_ABORT_RETRY_IGNORE:
        ABORT_RETRY_IGNORE : BUTTONS_ABORT_IGNORE_RETRY,
        YES_NO_CANCEL : BUTTONS_YES_NO_CANCEL,
        YES_NO : BUTTONS_YES_NO,
        RETRY_CANCEL : BUTTONS_RETRY_CANCEL,
        ERROR : 'errorbox',
        QUERY : 'querybox',
        WARN : 'warningbox',
        INFO : 'infobox', # info always shows one OK button alone!

hello friends,
i've taken villeroy's final version for python, completed it from http://community.i-rs.ru/index.php/topi ... l#msg86863, and massaged it so that the msgbox function can be used without additional parameters.

Code: Select all

# downloaded from 
# http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=2721&hilit=+beanshell+python+javascript#p12010
# with completion from
# http://community.i-rs.ru/index.php/topic,14500.msg86863.html#msg86863

# Initialize with a parent window, such as 
# XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDesktop().CurrentController.ContainerWindow(). 
# Method msgbox takes the same arguments as it's Basic equivalent and 
# also returns the same values. Addionaly you can use the named constants 
# of this class.
