Listening to Document Events

Listening to document events can help in the following situations:

Next to assigning macros to events, one can monitor events raised by LibreOffice documents. Application Programming Interface (API) broadcasters are responsible for calling event scripts. Unlike listeners that require to define all supported methods, even if unused, document monitors require only two methods next to hooked event scripts.

Memantau Peristiwa Dokumen

Monitoring is illustrated herewith for Basic and Python languages using object-oriented programming. Assigning OnLoad script, to the Open Document event, suffices to initiate and terminate document event monitoring. Tools - Customize menu Events tab is used to assign either scripts.

Intercepting events helps setting scripts pre- and post-conditions such as loading and unloading libraries or track script processing in the background. Access2Base.Trace module usage is illustrating that second context.

Dengan menggunakan Python

Pemantauan kejadian dimulai ketika objek diinstansiasi dan akhirnya diberhentikan ketika Python melepaskan objek. Kejadian yang dibangkitkan dilaporkan menggunakan konsol Access2Base.

note

OnLoad and OnUnload events can be used to respectively set and unset Python programs path. They are described as Open document and Document closed.

Ikon Tip

Start application and Close application events can respectively be used to set and to unset Python path for user scripts or LibreOffice scripts. In a similar fashion, document based Python libraries or modules can be loaded and released using Open document and Document closed events. Refer to Importing Python Modules for more information.


Dengan Basic LibreOffice

Using Tools - Customize menu Events tab, the Open document event fires a ConsoleLogger initialisation. _documentEventOccured routine - set by ConsoleLogger - serves as a unique entry point to trap all document events.

controller.Events module


        Option Explicit
        
        Global _obj As Object ' controller.ConsoleLogger instance
        
        Sub OnLoad(evt As com.sun.star.document.DocumentEvent) ' >> Open Document <<
            _obj = New ConsoleLogger : _obj.StartAdapter(evt)
        End Sub ' controller.OnLoad
        Sub _documentEventOccured(evt As com.sun.star.document.DocumentEvent)
            ''' ConsoleLogger unique entry point '''
             _obj.DocumentEventOccurs(evt)
        End Sub ' controller._documentEventOccured
      

controller.ConsoleLogger class module

Events monitoring starts from the moment a ConsoleLogger object is instantiated and ultimately stops upon document closure. StartAdapter routine loads necessary Basic libraries, while caught events are reported using Access2Base.Trace module.

Discovering Documents Events

The broadcaster API object provides the list of events it is responsible for:

With Python

The Alternative Python Script Organizer (APSO) extension is used to render events information on screen.
