uno com event handling

Post by adisney »

I don't even know the proper way to phrase this ... We have an application written in Progress OpenEdge, which uses com-handles to start an OpenOffice session, open a document in Writer, etc. OpenEdge doesn't "support" UNO events. Our problem is that we can't capture the OO "Save" or "Quit" events in our application, which are important for storing the document in our database, returning control to our application, etc.

We understand that this is because OO uses UNO events while we are looking at COM events, but can't figure out how to use the UNO-COM bridge or to implement some sort of event sink which can listen for the needed UNO events and then fire COM events. We're not looking for help in writing Progress code - just in getting some intermediate layer that can help us "listen" for the Save/Quit events.

It's probably a trivial problem for someone out there ... but we're absolutely stuck and need help.
