Can I open the form from a macro in the same window?

[NiksaVel]

Well.. the subject pretty much said it all... I'd like to get a browser-like functionality when navigating through different forms via buttons I use the following script:

Code: Select all

    REM Generic macros needed to open any form
    function OpenForm( formContainer as variant, oConnection as variant, sFormName as string) as variant
    Dim aProp(1) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
    aProp(0).Name = "ActiveConnection"
    aProp(0).Value = oConnection
    aProp(1).Name = "OpenMode"
    aProp(1).Value = "open"
    OpenForm = formContainer.loadComponentFromURL(sFormName,"_blank",0,aProp())
    end function

    function getFormsTC() as variant
    getFormsTC = thisComponent.Parent.getFormDocuments
    end function

    function getConnectionTC() as variant
    getConnectionTC = thisComponent.Drawpage.Forms(0).ActiveConnection
    end function


    sub OpenForm_Button_Click( oev as variant )
    sFormName = oev.Source.Model.Tag
    OpenForm( getFormsTC, getConnectionTC, sFormName )
    end sub

but I get all the forms opened in a new window... I guess this is due to the _blank argument...

I've tried replacing it with _self or _parent, but nothing happened... help?

You question was posted several months ago. Did you ever find a solution?

Hi,
The answer is in this page of the Developer's Guide. In this case it is a simplified loadComponentFromURL : second and third arguments are not used, and the aProp() argument can only use the two properties ActiveConnection and OpenMode.
