ooBase Form Event Listener

[SVCooper]

I want to create an event listener for an ooBase form in ooBasic, I THINK I have the bones of how to do it but don't know the specifics.

It seems to require 2 lines of code along the lines of:

objFormListener = CreateUnoListener("FormListener_","com.sun.star.somecomponent.XEventListener")
ThisComponent.com_sun_star_somecomponent_XEventBroadcaster_addEventListener(objFormListener)

And then an event handler such as:

Sub Sub FormListener_notifyEvent(objEvent As Object) MsgBox objEvent.EventName & " fired" End Sub 'FormListener_notifyEvent

I have been unable to find what "somecomponent" should be! (I have tried "form" and "forms") to no avail.

Can anyone help?

Any reason why you do not use the script events on the form's event tab?

I'm trying to find out the sequence in which all events in my database will fire as an aid to building an application.

By using event listeners, I hope to save creating a handler for every single event.

Forget it. This is not how Base works. This is not a database development suite.
