Writing a Program to Control OpenOffice.org, Part 1    Tuesday, September 13 2005 @ 05:07 AM EDT Contributed by: glosser The Linux Journal offers this programming tutorial for OpenOffice interfacing. I have opted to use OpenOffice.org and UNO. The first element is well known and my choice is easily justifiable--OOo is reliable, widely used and cross-platform. But what about UNO? UNO, short for Universal Network Objects, is an interprocess communication technology designed by OpenOffice.org and Sun to allow software developers to control the programs that form the homonymous product. The aim of this series of articles is to explain the UNO programming principles. To accomplish this goal, we will build an application written in C++ that is able to connect to OpenOffice.org, open a spreadsheet and then update, print and close the document. The problems that must be solved in order to build the source code will allow beginners to understand the basic principles of this technology. These problems are: 1. installing the OpenOffice.org software development kit 2. building the files to implement the communication process with OpenOffice.org 3. understanding the basic structure of UNO: what are services, service-factories and interfaces? 4. writing the source code 5. writing a Linux makefile The first three points are treated here in Part 1 of this article series.
