[Solved] How to set a user defined built in function?

[sokolowitzky]

I know that I can set a global function if I registry it in "My Macros"
But as I know, if the security level does not let, the function can not work.
So I want to set a user defined function into the built-in functions list.

I need a few different functions, but this one could serve as an example. It gives a file's title. Can I set it into the built in functions list?

Code: Select all

FUNCTION filetitle()
filetitle() = THISCOMPONENT.TITLE
End FUNCTION

While I'm a beginner with Macros, a common reference for BASIC macros (which is what yours looks like) is OpeOffice.org BASIC Guide
While the PDF shows that it's for OpenOffice 3.2, I'm unaware of anything that is specific for the later versions, and unaware of anything that works in 3.2 that doesn't work in the later versions.
I did a quick look to see if I could find something that matches or is similar to your function (that way it might already be built in), but found nothing that, imo, was close enough. But, by all means, look yourself... I may have missed it, or I may have been using the wrong search.

If you create and install an extension with your macros then they can run regardless of the security level.

Extension Compiler may be helpful:

The setting under Macro Security only applies to macros with location=document.

Macros located in MyMacros.Standard (not tested for different libraries) will even be executed when called if Macro_Security = Very_High.

Thanks all. It looks like I should spend time for a while to build an extension. Even thought I could not find an exact answer I mark this topic as solved since the solution might be found with another way.
