is used to query, register and deregister user interface element factories.
A user interface element factory is registered for a set of three properties.
Typea string that identifies a type of a user interface element.
Namea string that identifies a single user interface element within a type class.
Modulea string that identifies a single module of OpenOffice.
A combination of these three property values can uniquely identifiy every user interface
element within OpenOffice.
Currently the following user interface element types are defined:
function to retrieve a list of all registered user interface element factories
Returns
a sequence of sequence of propert values which describe every registered
user interface element factory.
The following properties are defined:
Typea string property that identifies the type of the user interface
element which this factory can create.
Namean optional string property which identifies a single user interface
element within a type class which this factory can create. If this property is not
returned, the factory is a generic factory for all user interface elements of the
same type.
Modulean optional string property that specifies to which module this factory is
bound to. If this property is not returned, the factory is a generic factory.
function to retrieve a previously registered user interface element factory.
Returns
a reference to a registered user interface element factory if a factory has been
found. An empty reference when no factory has been found.
The defined search order of factories must be from special to generic ones.
Parameter ResourceURL
a resource URL which identifies a user interface element. A resource URL uses the
following syntax: "private:resource/$type/$name". It is only allowed to use ascii
characters for type and name.
Parameter ModuleName
an optional module identifier. This value can remain empty, if a generic factory is requested.
The module identifier can be retrieved from the ::com::sun::star::frame::ModuleManager service.
function to register a user interface element factory.
Parameter aType
a string that identifies a type of a user interface element. Currently the following types
are supported:
menubar
toolbar
statusbar
Parameter aName
an optional name of a single user interface element. This name must be unique within a user
interface element type class. This value can remain empty if no special factory for a single
user interface element is needed.
Parameter aModuleIdentifier
an optional module identifier that can be used to register a factory only for a single module. This value
can remain empty if no special factory for a single module is needed. The module identifier can be retrieved
from the ::com::sun::star::frame::ModuleManager service.
Parameter aFactoryImplementationName
a UNO implementation name that can be used by an implementation to create a factory instance.
function to remove a previously defined user interface element factory.
Parameter aType
a string that identifies a type of a user interface element. Currently the following types
are supported:
menubar
toolbar
statusbar
Parameter aName
an optional name of a single user interface element. This name must be unique within a user
interface element type class. This value can remain empty if no special factory for a single
user interface element should be deregistered.
Parameter aModuleName
an optional module name that can be used to deregister a factory only for a single module. This value
can remain empty if not a module based factory should be deregisted. The module identifier can be retrieved
from the ::com::sun::star::frame::ModuleManager service.
Using this function can be very dangerous as other implementation with OpenOffice may not be able to create their
user interface element anymore.
