OpenOffice.org BASIC Programming Guide
3
Compatibility between OpenOffice.org Basic and VBA relates to the OpenOffice.org Basic language as
well as the runtime library. The OpenOffice.org API and the Dialog Editor are not compatible with VBA
(standardizing these interfaces would have made many of the concepts provided in OpenOffice.org
impossible).
Intended Users of OpenOffice. org Basic
The scope of application for OpenOffice.org Basic begins where the standard functions of
OpenOffice.org end. Routine tasks can therefore be automated in OpenOffice.org Basic,
links can be made to other programs — for example to a database server — and complex
activities can be performed at the press of a button by using predefined scripts.
OpenOffice.org Basic offers complete access to all OpenOffice.org functions, supports all
functions, modifies document types, and provides options for creating personal dialog
windows.
Use of OpenOffice. org Basic
OpenOffice.org Basic can be used by any OpenOffice.org user without any additional
programs or aids. Even in the standard installation, OpenOffice.org Basic has all the
components needed to create its own Basic macros, including:
• The integrated development environment (IDE) which provides an editor for creating and
testing macros.
• The interpreter, which is needed to run OpenOffice.org Basic macros.
• The interfaces to various OpenOffice.org applications, which allow for direct access to
Office documents.
More Information
The components of the OpenOffice.org API that are discussed in this guide were selected
based on their practical benefits for the OpenOffice.org Basic programmer. In general, only
parts of the interfaces are discussed. For a more detailed picture, see the API reference
[1]
.
The Developer's Guide describes the OpenOffice.org API in more detail than this guide, but
is primarily intended for Java and C++ programmers. Anyone who is already familiar with
OpenOffice.org Basic programming can find additional information in the Developer's Guide
on OpenOffice.org Basic and OpenOffice.org programming.
Programmers who want to work directly with Java or C++ rather than OpenOffice.org Basic
should consult the OpenOffice.org Developer's Guide instead of this guide. OpenOffice.org
programming with Java or C++ is a considerably more complex process than programming
with OpenOffice.org Basic.
