SFWidgets.Toolbar service

The Toolbar service allows to retrieve information related to the toolbars available for a specific document window. With this service it is possible to:

Toggle the visibility of specific toolbars.
Access information about the buttons available in each toolbar.

Each LibreOffice application has its own set of available toolbars. This service handles both built-in and custom toolbars.

The status bar and the menu bar are not considered toolbars in the context of this service.

Service invocation

Before using the Toolbar service the ScriptForge library needs to be loaded or imported:

• Basic macros require to load ScriptForge library using the following statement:
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.loadLibrary("ScriptForge")

• Python scripts require an import from scriptforge module:
from scriptforge import CreateScriptService

The Toolbar service is invoked using the Toolbars method, which is available in SFDocuments.Document service.

In Basic

The example below gets an Array with the names of the toolbars available in the current document.


    oDoc = CreateScriptService("Document", ThisComponent)
    arrToolbars = oDoc.Toolbars()
    MsgBox SF_String.Represent(arrToolbars)

Use the Toolbars method without arguments to retrieve an array with available toolbar names.

The example below toggles the visibility of the Standard toolbar:


    oDoc = CreateScriptService("Document", ThisComponent)
    toolbar = oDoc.Toolbars("standardbar")
    toolbar.Visible = Not toolbar.Visible

In Python


    bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
    doc = CreateScriptService("Document", bas.ThisComponent)
    arr_toolbars = doc.Toolbars()
    bas.MsgBox(repr(toolbars))


    bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
    doc = CreateScriptService("Document", bas.ThisComponent)
    toolbar = doc.Toolbars("standardbar")
    toolbar.Visible = not toolbar.Visible

ToolbarButtons

Returns an Array containing the names of all toolbar buttons when called without arguments.

Provide the name of a toolbar button as argument to obtain a ToolbarButton service instance.

Syntax:

svc.ToolbarButtons(opt buttonname: str): any

Parameters:

buttonname: The name of a toolbar button in the current toolbar.

Example:

The example below returns the command executed when the button New is clicked in the Standard toolbar:

In Basic


      oToolbar = oDoc.Toolbars("standardbar")
      oToolbarButton = oToolbar.ToolbarButtons("New")
      MsgBox oToolbarButton.OnClick

In Python


      toolbar = doc.Toolbars("standardbar")
      toolbar_button = toolbar.ToolbarButtons("New")
      bas.MsgBox(toolbar_button.OnClick)

Inactive toolbars do not have buttons. Therefore, calling the ToolbarButtons method will make the toolbar visible.
