[Solved] Launch LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice?

[Gudra]

So, I'm writing a program with C# to learn some interaction with the LibreOffice sdk. I installed the 5 cli .dll. I know how to launch OpenOffice using the url

Code: Select all

private:factory/swriter

on a

Code: Select all

loadComponentFromUrl

method, but I haven't found anything on launching LibreOffice with a similar command. Also when I open an existing document, it is opened by default in OpenOffice, and I would prefer to use LibreOffice.

Any help?

when I open an existing document, it is opened by default in OpenOffice, and I would prefer to use LibreOffice.

Your profile says you are using Windows 7 so try this link

I haven't tried it but I suspect once you've made the change to the default app your macro will open the document in LO.

I solved it with some editing on env variables (as the sdk didn't set them, it seems). I wrote this at the begining of my program:

Code: Select all

            var unoPath = @"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program";

            Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("UNO_PATH", unoPath, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
            Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH") + @";" + unoPath, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
