This tutorial will give you a detailed overview of the OpenOffice.org status bar and how to create a status bar conbtroller. Everybody is invited to participate. May be someone wants to translate the extension to a different language (e.g. Java or Python) or wants to have more information about a specific topic. You can set a link to this page, if you think that this page adds valuable information. The outcome of this tutorial will be a status bar controller that will show the current position of the cursor (e.g. line, column).

This tutorial will give you a detailed overview of the OpenOffice.org status bar and how to create a status bar controller. Everybody is invited to participate. Maybe someone wants to translate the extension to a different language (e.g. Java or Python) or wants to have more information about a specific topic. You can set a link to this page, if you think that this page adds valuable information. The outcome of this tutorial will be a status bar controller that will show the current position of the cursor (e.g. line, column).

The reader of this tutorial should have the following programming skills


The OpenOffice.org status bar

The OpenOffice.org status bar is controlled by the frame based layout manager. Every frame contains a layout manager that controls the user interfaces elements (e.g. menu bar, status bar, toolbars). The layout manager identifies every user interface element via a unique url. The status bar can be addressed by the following url: private:resource/statusbar/statusbar. The status bar is always located at the bottom side of a frame. It's also responsible to show the progress bar during loading of a document.

The status bar consists of several status bar controller which each controls a different aspect. For example the default OpenOffice.org Writer status bar contains nine different controllers you can see on the following illustration.

Statusbar Configuration

The structure of a status bar is defined by a XML file located in the OpenOffice.org installation folder. The default location is here:

<OpenOffice.org installation>/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/<application module identifier>/statusbar/statusbar.xml

The following snippet shows the content of the OpenOffice.org Writer status bar XML file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE statusbar:statusbar PUBLIC "-//OpenOffice.org//DTD OfficeDocument 1.0//EN" "statusbar.dtd">

 <statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:Size" statusbar:align="left" statusbar:autosize="true" statusbar:ownerdraw="true" statusbar:width="129"/>
</statusbar:statusbar>

The xml configuration file supports the following elements, attributes and rules.

  • You must locate a <statusbar:statusbaritem> element inside a <statusbar:statusbar> element.
  • You cannot nest <statusbar:statusbar> elements.

Status Bar

The <statusbar:statusbar> element is a container element for status bar items.
 
XML Code : <statusbar:statusbar>
Rules    : You must include all status bar items in a this element.
DTD      : <!ELEMENT statusbar:statusbar (statusbar:statusbaritem*)>
           <!ATTLIST statusbar:statusbar
                     xmlns:statusbar CDATA #FIXED "http://openoffice.org/2001/statusbar"
                     xmlns:xlink CDATA #FIXED "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

Status Bar Item

XML Code : <statusbar:statusbaritem>
Rules    : You must specify a valid value for the xlink:href attribute
DTD      : <!ELEMENT statusbar:statusbaritem EMPTY>
           <!ATTLIST statusbar:statusbaritem
                     xlink:href CDATA #REQUIRED
                     statusbar:align %alignment; #IMPLIED
                     statusbar:style %style; #IMPLIED
                     statusbar:autosize %boolean; #IMPLIED
                     statusbar:ownerdraw %boolean; #IMPLIED
                     statusbar:width %numeric; #IMPLIED
                     statusbar:offset %numeric; #IMPLIED>

xlink:href

The xlink:href attribute specifies the status bar control that is instantiated for this status bar item

XML Code : <xlink:href>
Rules    : The value of this attribute must be a valid status URL. If the URL don't
           have a status bar controller associated it will be ignored.
DTD      : <!ATTLIST statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href CDATA #REQUIRED>

The association between xlink:href value and a status bar controller is maintained by the Controller.xcu file which is described in the chapter Configuration

statusbar:align

The statusbar:align attribute specifies how the information is aligned in the bounding box of the status bar control window.

XML Code : <statusbar:align>
Rules    : The value of this attribute can be one of the following:
           - left  : The status bar control output should be aligned to the left border
                     the bounding box.
           - center: The status bar control output should be aligned to the center of
                     the bounding box.
           - right : The status bar control output should be aligned to the right border
                     of the bounding box.
DTD      : <!ENTITY % alignment "(left|center|right)">
           <!ATTLIST statusbar:statusbaritem statusbar:align %alignment; "center">

statusbar:style

The statusbar:style attribute specifies how the bounding box of a status bar item is displayed.

XML Code : <statusbar:style>
Rules    : The value of this attribute can be one of the following:
           - in   : The bounding box of the status bar control is painted engraved.
           - out  : The bounding box of the status bar control is painted embossed.
           - flat : The bounding box of the status bar control is painted normally, no 3D effect.
DTD      : <!ENTITY % style "(in|out|flat)">
           <!ATTLIST statusbar:statusbaritem statusbar:style %style; "in">

statusbar:autosize

The statusbar:autosize attribute specifies whether or not the size of the bounding box for the status bar item is controlled automatically by the status bar.

XML Code : <statusbar:autosize>
Rules    : The value of this attribute can be true or false. If the value if true the size of the bounding box is set
           automatically by the status bar. If the value is false the statusbar:width attribute determines the size of the bounding
           box. The default value is false.
DTD      : <!ATTLIST statusbar:statusbaritem statusbar:autosize %boolean; "false">

statusbar:ownerdraw

The statusbar:ownerdraw attribute specifies whether or not the status bar item uses an external function to display its content.

XML Code : <statusbar:ownerdraw>
Rules    : The value of this attribute can be true or false. The value must be true to use an external function to display the 
           content.
DTD      : <!ATTLIST statusbar:statusbaritem statusbar:ownerdraw %boolean; "false">

statusbar:width

The statusbar:width attribute specifies the width of the bounding box for a status bar item in pixel.

XML Code : <statusbar:width>
Rules    : This attribute is only processed if the value of the statusbar:autosize attribute is set to false.
DTD      : <!ENTITY % numeric "CDATA">
           <!ATTLIST statusbar:statusbaritem statusbar:width %numeric; "0">

statusbar:offset

The statusbar:offset attribute specifies the distance by which text of a status bar item is offset on the x-axis.

XML Code : <statusbar:offset>
Rules    : The value of this attribute is a numerical value in pixel. The default value is 5 pixel.
DTD      : <!ENTITY % numeric "CDATA">
           <!ATTLIST statusbar:statusbaritem statusbar:offset %numeric; "5">

General abstract of the status bar controller concept

Status bar controller architecture

A status bar controller is responsible for a single aspect that should be accessible via status bar. It must be implemented via UNO using the status bar controller service. The following illustration shows how the different status bar implementation parts work together to create/associate a status bar controller for the status bar.

Statusbar-Controller-Architecture.png


Status bar controller service

This service is called com.sun.star.frame.StatusbarController. The OpenOffice.org status bar implementation uses the different interfaces of the service for creation, initialization, destruction and communication. The following snippet shows the UNO IDL description of the central com.sun.star.frame.StatusbarController service.

Documentation caution.png

ATTENTION: The service description of OpenOffice.org 2.2 and previous versions don't describe com::sun::star::lang::XComponent although the status bar implementation needs this interface! This issue will be corrected in the upcoming OpenOffice.org 2.3 service description. All internal OpenOffice.org status bar controller support this interface, so this is only a documentation error.

Each interface has a clear task to work together with parts of the OpenOffice.org status bar implementation. The following illustration shows how the different interfaces are used within OpenOffice.org.

        case it must throw the DisposedException (which is derived from 
        com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException) when it gets called.
 
        For some objects no real owner can be identified, thus it can be

The important part of the schema is the group "ControllerType". The group defines an association between a single command URL and a controller implementation.

Property Type Description
Command String Contains the command URL for which the controller is registered. The UI element implementation uses the command URL to query for controllers.
Module String Specifies the module for which the association is active. This allows to use different controller implementations for different modules. An empty entry means active for all modules.
Controller String Specifies the implementation name of the controller. The name will be used by the ControllerFactory to create an instance of the controller.
Value String Contains controller specific data which will be provided at creation time. It interpretation of the data depends on the controller implementation.

This file contains all UNO based status bar controller. There a couple of internal status bar controller which are sfx2 based. These controller are restricted to sfx2 based application modules (e.g. Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress and Math). In the future all controllers will be translated to support the described UNO service (com.sun.star.frame.StatusbarController). This would allow non-sfx2 based application modules to also use them.

A status bar controller skeleton

This chapter wants to present a status bar controller skeleton which can be used as a basis for own experiments.

The following source code provides a working skeleton that can be extended by developers. The skeleton was created using the uno-skeletonmaker provided by the OpenOffice.org SDK.
