Next to assigning macros to events or creating event listeners, one can use dialog handlers, whose principle is to define UNO keywords, or methods, that are mapped to events to watch for. The event handler is responsible for executing methods using the vnd.sun.star.UNO:<method_name> protocol. Unlike listeners that require to define all supported methods, even if unused, dialog handlers require only two methods on top of intended control hook scripts.
The advantages of this approach are:
It packs the code that handles event-driven macros,
it decorrelates events from macros names which facilitates maintenance or updates, in particular when moving macros or modules.
This mechanism is illustrated herewith for Basic and Python languages using an imported copy of Access2Base dlgTrace dialog. Exception handling and localisation are omitted for clarity.
Export Access2Base dlgTrace dialog and import it into MyLib application library.
Inside the control properties pane of the Dialog Editor, use the Events tab to replace macro assignments by component assignments, and type in the intended method names:
Set Dump to file dialog button component method name to _dump2File
Optionally define txtTracelog key pressed and mouse button pressed events component method names as _openHelp
Optionally define Ok button receiving focus event component method name as onOkHasfocus
Events assigned actions should mention the vnd.sun.star.UNO: protocol.
createDialogWithHandler method of com.sun.star.awt.DialogProvider2 service is used to set the dialog and its handler. The handler is responsible for implementing com.sun.star.awt.XDialogEventHandler interface.
All component method names must be explicitly declared when using a dialog handler.
In this example the dialog is located on the computer.

As expected, onOkHasFocus missing method throws an exception.
Refer to Python calls to LibreOffice Basic page for getBasicScript routine description and for details about cross-language scripting execution.
In this example the dialog is embedded in a document, and can equally be located on the computer.
