I'm developing a Python macro embedded in a Calc document to scrape data from various web pages and paste some results in cells in the spreadsheet.
Original code
import time def myTest3(): oDoc = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument() oSheets = oDoc.getSheets() mySheet = oSheets.getByName("Sheet1") # set up Status Indicator Controller = oDoc.getCurrentController() DocFrame = Controller.getFrame() oStatusIndicator = DocFrame.createStatusIndicator() oStatusIndicator.start( "", 1 ) mySheet.getColumns().removeByIndex(0, 1) oStatusIndicator.setText( "Process started" ) for i in range(0,5): oStatusIndicator.setText( "Processing: " + str(i) ) mySheet.getCellByPosition(0,i).Value = i time.sleep(1) oStatusIndicator.setText( "Process finished" )
