SFWidgets.Menu service

The Menu service can be used to create and remove menus from the menubar of a LibreOffice document window. Each menu entry can be associated with a script or with a UNO command. This service provides the following capabilities:

note

Menus created with this service are available only for a specified document window. They are not saved into the document or as application settings. Closing and opening the document will restore the default menubar settings.


warning

When OLE objects such as Math formulas or Calc charts are edited from within a document, LibreOffice reconfigures the menubar according to the object. When this happens, the menus created with the Menu service are removed and are not be restored after editing the OLE object.


Invocación del servicio

Antes de utilizar el servicio Menu, es necesario cargar o importar la biblioteca ScriptForge:

note

• Para cargar la biblioteca ScriptForge que necesitan las macros de Basic se debe usar la siguiente declaración:
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.loadLibrary("ScriptForge")

• Los scripts de Python necesitan importar el módulo scriptforge:
from scriptforge import CreateScriptService


En BASIC

The Menu service is instantiated by calling the CreateMenu method from the Document service. The code snippet below creates a menu named My Menu in the current document window with two entries Item A and Item B.


    Sub CreateMenu()
        GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.loadLibrary("ScriptForge")
        Dim oDoc as Object, oMenu as Object
        Set oDoc = CreateScriptService("Document")
        Set oMenu = oDoc.CreateMenu("My Menu")
        With oMenu
            .AddItem("Item A", Command := "About")
            .AddItem("Item B", Script := "vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.Module1.ItemB_Listener?language=Basic&location=application")
            .Dispose()
        End With
    End Sub
  
note

After creating the menu, it is recommended to call the Dispose method to free the resources used by the Menu service instance.


In the example above, Item A is associated with the UNO command .uno:About whereas Item B is associated with the script ItemB_Listener defined in Module1 of the Standard library of the My Macros container.

The following example defines ItemB_Listener that will be called when Item B is clicked. This listener simply splits the argument string passed to the Sub and shows them in a message box.


    Sub ItemB_Listener(args As String)
        ' Process the argument string passed to the listener
        Dim sArgs as Object
        sArgs = Split(args, ",")
        MsgBox "Menu name: "   & sArgs(0) & Chr(13) & _
               "Menu item: "   & sArgs(1) & Chr(13) & _
               "Item ID: "     & sArgs(2) & Chr(13) & _
               "Item status: " & sArgs(3)
    End Sub
  

As shown in the example above, menu entries associated with a script receive a comma-separated string argument with the following values:

En Python

The examples above can be written in Python as follows:


    from scriptforge import CreateScriptService
    
    def create_menu(args=None):
        oDoc = CreateScriptService("Document")
        oMenu = oDoc.CreateMenu("My Menu")
        oMenu.AddItem("Item A", command="About")
        oMenu.AddItem("Item B", script="vnd.sun.star.script:my_macros.py$item_b_listener?language=Python&location=user")
        oMenu.Dispose()
  

    def item_b_listener(args):
        bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
        s_args = args.split(",")
        msg = f"Nombre de menú: {s_args[0]}\n"
        msg += f"Elemento de menú: {s_args[1]}\n"
        msg += f"Item ID: {s_args[2]}\n"
        msg += f"Item status: {s_args[3]}"
        bas.MsgBox(msg)

Character used to define the access key of a menu item. The default character is "~".

SubmenuCharacter

No

String

Character or string that defines how menu items are nested. The default character is ">".


Menu and Submenus

To create a menu with submenus, use the character defined in the SubmenuCharacter property while creating the menu entry to define where it will be placed. For instance, consider the following menu/submenu hierarchy.


    ' Item A
    ' Item B > Item B.1
    '          Item B.2
    ' ------ (line separator)
    ' Item C > Item C.1 > Item C.1.1
    '                     Item C.1.2
    ' Item C > Item C.2 > Item C.2.1
    '                     Item C.2.2
    '                     ------ (line separator)
    '                     Item C.2.3
    '                     Item C.2.4
  

The code below uses the default submenu character ">" to create the menu/submenu hierarchy defined above:


    oMenu.AddItem("Item A")
    oMenu.AddItem("Item B>Item B.1")
    oMenu.AddItem("Item B>Item B.2")
    oMenu.AddItem("---")
    oMenu.AddItem("Item C>Item C.1>Item C.1.1")
    oMenu.AddItem("Item C>Item C.1>Item C.1.2")
    oMenu.AddItem("Item C>Item C.2>Item C.2.1")
    oMenu.AddItem("Item C>Item C.2>Item C.2.2")
    oMenu.AddItem("Item C>Item C.2>---")
    oMenu.AddItem("Item C>Item C.2>Item C.2.3")
    oMenu.AddItem("Item C>Item C.2>Item C.2.4")
  
note

La cadena --- se utiliza para definir líneas separadoras en los menús y submenús.


Utilizar iconos

Items in the menu can have icons, which are specified as arguments in the AddCheckBox, AddItem and AddRadioButton methods.

Todos los iconos disponibles en LibreOffice pueden utilizarse especificando su ruta relativa a la carpeta donde se encuentran los archivos de iconos en la carpeta de instalación. Los iconos se encuentran en la siguiente carpeta:

INSTALLDIR/share/config

tip

Utilice la propiedad InstallFolder del servicio FileSystem para determinar dónde está instalado LibreOffice en su sistema.


This folder contains a series of ZIP files containing the image files of each available icon set. The images inside these ZIP files are organized into folders. To use an icon, specify the icon file with the path to its location inside the ZIP file.

The example below uses the icon "sc_newdoc.svg" that is located inside the "cmd" folder. The forward slash "/" character is used as the path separator regardless of the operating system.

En BASIC

      myMenu.AddItem("Item A", Icon := "cmd/sc_newdoc.svg")
    
En Python

      myMenu.AddItem("Item A", icon="cmd/sc_newdoc.svg")
    
note

Todos los conjuntos de iconos tienen la misma estructura interna. El icono mostrado depende del conjunto de iconos en uso actualmente.


Métodos

Lista de métodos en el servicio Menu

AddCheckBox

AddItem

AddRadioButton


AddCheckBox

Inserts a check box in the menu. Returns an integer value that identifies the inserted item.

Sintaxis:

svc.AddCheckBox(menuitem: str, opt name: str, opt status: bool, opt icon: str, opt tooltip: str, opt command: str, opt script: str): int

Parámetros:

menuitem: Defines the text to be displayed in the menu. This argument also defines the hierarchy of the item inside the menu by using the submenu character.

name: String value used to identify the menu item. By default, the last component of the menu hierarchy is used.

status: Defines whether the item is selected when the menu is created (Default = False).

icon: Path and name of the icon to be displayed without the leading path separator. The actual icon shown depends on the icon set being used.

tooltip: Text to be displayed as tooltip.

command: The name of a UNO command without the .uno: prefix. If the command name does not exist, nothing happens.

script: The URI for a Basic or Python script that will be executed when the item is clicked.

note

The arguments command and script are mutually exclusive, hence only one of them can be set for each menu item.


tip

Ejemplo:

En BASIC

      ' Menu entry associated with the .uno:Paste command
      oMenu.AddCheckBox("Item A", Status := True, ToolTip := "Paste values", Command := "Paste")
